PS. Got my Ubuntu Dell yesterday.

Cool!

Linux is still the same ***
as it was 10 years ago, but things are progressing a little bit.

Which is it?

The first joke was with the damned password: The utility is buggy!
As a result, i spent the first entire day (and part of the night)
at searching why it was accepting my password at boot, and refusing
it for sudo, because i thought i had miss-understood something !!!

I don't use sudo... If I try it, the bitch tells me I'm not in the sudoers file - and threatens to rat me out! The sudoers file is in /etc, of course... but insists on being edited with a special editor(!) - haven't tried it. I just "su", and "exit" when I'm done. I found out from "man sudo" that it wants the *user* password, not the root password. Makes sense, when I think about it, but I would have tried the root password, if I'd gotten that far.

Second day: Downloading/installing WINE: OK.

Okay... you'll forgive some politically incorrect language, I hope. When I was in school, I read a short story called "The Artificial ***" - I forget the author. (Flannery O'Connor - google's read it, too) A young boy sees "lawn jockeys" - hitching posts for horses in the form of a statue of a groom - negro (although we repainted some in the sixties, IIRC). The kid wonders why, if people don't like niggers, they'd put an artificial *** on their lawn.

For some reason, WINE makes me think of that story.

But it cannot associate
a given file to itself (???!!!...). Works fine, otherwize, even if i still do not know *where* it is (!!!): Linux = the System that makes
the user free from his computer (!!!). :))

Ought to be where you put it, if you did "./configure prefix=betovs/preferred/directory" before "make install". Try /usr/local/share", as a wild-asmed guess - I think /usr/opt (/usr/local/opt ?) may be the more "modern" version(?). "which wine" ought to tell you where the executable is, at least.

Downloading/installing an Hexa Editor: Doesn't seem to work with
Ubuntu: After trying to execute (No effect. Silent), more than one
minute for launching any Application. Reboot needed. Packages
installer ("synaptic" in their strange vocabulary) without any
treeView. Therefore, searching for any Application to install =
hours of scrolling the lists...

"Packages installer" may be your problem. "make install", Betov, "make install"! I'm not familiar with Ubuntu - I've always used Slackware (for no particular reason). At least it includes Nasm! I forget whether Biew was included or if I installed it... I suppose you want a pointee-clickee hex editor, though... My system includes GHex - seems to work...

and so on, and so on.

Mmmm...

Ah, good old
DOS days... ;)

Still works, last I checked. Doesn't take a very big hard drive, and boots quick as hell, these days!

Best,
Frank
