Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu "In this chapter from the ExtremeTech book 'Hacking Ubuntu: Serious Hacks Mods and Customizations' you'll learn how to set up the operating system to your taste with things like changing the startup music, the background, fonts, icons, and colors, and navigating the Nautilus file manager - on both PCs and Macs." The book was written for an older version of Ubuntu but it still largely applies for Feisty Fawn too.

Wine - makes ubuntu usable

For the first time ever I have had a positive experience with Wine. I use Ubuntu as the main and only OS installed, but one thing I missed was the odd game or two.

Now I just run my admittedly old games in wine with no difference to running them in Windows.
(I.e click on item in menu and game loads with 2D/3D acceleration sound support. Install the game by putting the CD in and clicking the setup.exe )

Foobar2000 is the best application I have used so far to manage my music collection (Which also runs in wine).

As for the article, I have read better articles !!!
