If only I could get the newer nvidia drivers to work with it, I'd be sorted.

Oh, software I use most is:

Firefox

at the moment I'm liking Google Earth. It's nice to see places I'll probably never otherwise see in between bouts of blogging & looking for porn.

Other than that all the usual suspects... Firefox, Thunderbird, Winamp, Rawshooter Essentials, Photoshop CS2 and the list goes on and on and on.

I have to agree is the fastest fully fledged browser available when run in wine (apart from framebuffer links), coupled with fluxbox tabs it really is quite excellent. And you can read all those really really crap web pages that only work right in IE's buggy template reader.

Mutant_Fruit

whats the point in running linux if you're just going to emulate windows so you can run windows apps on it?

In my experience, sites designed by people too stupid to be able to follow standards are rarely worth viewing.

Winace has probs with some spanning archives, but is a better overall product. I keep Winrar for problem archives (it also has a repair feature that is handy).
