This is the other gotcha that I had today.
I have encountered this before (spent hours on it) but I guess I just forgot about it.
I have encountered a situation today when I need to generate the SQL statement (using CFSAVECONTENT) and this is perhaps the only 2nd time that I need to do [...]
Gone is mandriva, replaced by Kubuntu Feisty Fawn (7.0.4). Let me see what the fuss is all about..
Came to conclusion that I can’t subsitute one for the other. I need them both. The linux evangelists preach that one should avoid the evil empire’s products (CSE lectures). I found it impossible to do my daily stuffs without windows tho, especially in the area of gaming, of course can always use wine (transmeta support [...]

Installed wine and winetools “quite” succesfuly, managed to install IE 6 using winetools, it looks ugly, the font is weird.. nevertheless at least now I can see wine at work.Tried to install Counter Strike last nite but it gave me “System DLLs not found” error, still trying to look for solution via googling but found [...]
I don’t know why I am now going in to the painful process on trying to get wine to work on Linux so that I can run M$ programs on it.. Well, it would be nice to be able to play M$ games on Linux, that way during my break from coding in Linux I [...]
