    Running Chrome in Linux using wine

    http://www.myscienceisbetter.info/2008/09/install-google-chrome-on-linux-using-wine.html


    Works a treat.
    Definitely loses its place as speediest browser when running in wine.

    If I were a Linux person who wanted to run Windows software, I would TOTALLY just install VMWare Workstation for Linux, and then break out any app I wanted to run using the Unity feature.

    And considering that VMWare Workstation now supports Direct3D, that's just one more good reason...

    I'm the least you could do
    If only life were as easy as you
    I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
    If only life were as easy as you
    I would still get screwed

      That would be cheating.
      Open a can and pour the chilli in a pan?
      No thanks.

      Besides, this way you don't need a windows license to be legit.

          On Linux you have the Konqui from where both Safari and Chrome came out. Think of KDE as less known not sucking Linux desktop. Only Workstation 6.5 beta supports Unity mode.

            how much d3d does it support?
            If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

              Enough to run some games fairly well.
