Ok, I installed Kubuntu and passed some sweet hours with it.
<br />
I managed to settle the configurations (even my wireless card) , all runs fine and updated
<br />
problems with Wine and Poser, sometimes it runs, sometimes not. Actually it is not working (when I try to move something the inside screen disappears)
<br />
I tried all kind of different configurations but actually I failed <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/connie_ashamed.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
I'll test it again tomorrow or later ( <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/lazy.gif" alt="" /> )

Ok so what you are saying is you had to get the WINE software for Poser
<br />
to even come close to work and it is not in the Kubuntu package. What WINE operation did you get and can you point
<br />
me to the site? <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/ph34r.gif" alt="" /> This is very interesting by the way. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Ubutnu/Kubuntu makes a plain installation, then it has an automatic upgrading utility, I've it translated in italian, however you find it in the programs menu it's "Add/Remove programs". You have a quick search box, type in it "wine", select it and it will install. Now you can directly install Windows programs by clicking on them, there is also a configuration utility that comes with wine and i found a Winescript that tricks a little the program (winth not much luck...)
<br />
<br />
You find the .wine (hideen directory) under /home/(your name)/.wine
<br />
<br />
here it is a windows subdirectory, then also a fonts subdirectory.
<br />
<br />
I noticed that moving there the fonts that you find in the usual /windows/fonts directory make the installation work better...
<br />
<br />
BTW with Add/Remove programs you can directly install a lot of programs like blender, firefox, Gimp etc.
<br />
<br />
About the Wine windows emulation you can find documentation, faq and a forum here

About Poser, Now it is working but as I said I'll have to learn more.
<br />
<br />
Actually it is a little slower then the one in Windows, I think it's due to the linux video Driver. I installed the accelerated 3D driver for Ati Cards but I need to find something better.
<br />
<br />
I'm going to try it with games <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/connie_yoyo.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
I'll let you know.

I just fu**d up my Kubuntu trying to trick with ATI drivers <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/crybaby2.gif" alt="" /> ....
<br />
<br />
I've to begin from scratch... I want to use Ubuntu instead, rayera says it's lighter...
<br />
<br />

<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/sign4.gif" alt="" /> I didn't dare trying to install Poser, yet. I'm simply happy to have a working system and being able to access all my data, for now. There's a lot to learn. I'm messing with the restrictive rights management, still. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
<br />
I installed Opera (generic linux) to find out there's i.e. no flash player supported by macromedia for opera@linux so I have to use one of firefox's family browser for the web to work.
<br />
All the common stuff, multi media and www works very well. the rest will come step by step ....

They are already built in, but I wanted to have more <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/redembarrassed.gif" alt="" />

Yes Tormie, but is not Ubuntu that is lighter but the basic X that is Gnome, is less beautiful and Mac OS like, but lighter.

I did some test in my Ubuntu and I can install and run Poser 7 and Daz Studio 1.8.2.1 not newer versions of DS nor Poser 5 or 6 <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" /> I'm using Wine 0.9.59 in Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron

Posy, this is the kind of affirmation ones never know if it's a compliment or a subtle insult <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" />
<br />
But coming from you it can only be a conpliment <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> I think <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_eh.gif" alt="" />

It's off topic, but I'm trying Vista 64 bit, it looks like a little better from the first one that I tried and the renders are faster. I'll play with it for a while <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/connie_yoyo.gif" alt="" /> ...

A great news I think for ahjah, <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/JC_howdy.gif" alt="" /> I WAS ABLE TO RUN POSER 6 IN UBUNTU <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_dance.gif" alt="" />
<br />
and it runs even faster than P7 <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
I did it under Ubuntu 8.04.1 hardy,
<br />
<br />
and thru wine 1.1.3+3dmarkPatch-1
<br />
<br />
I downloade it from here <a class="post-url" href="http://www.getdeb.net/app/Wine" target="_blank">http://www.getdeb.net/app/Wine</a>
<br />
<br />
Hope it works for you friend so you can use Poser again and under Linux <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/TFR718 (6).gif" alt="" />

<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/TFR718 (6).gif" alt="" /> Thanks, my friend.
<br />
I'll give it a try, when I have more time. I have to re-organize my whole sytem. Right now, it's a complete mess. Partitioning, that don't make sense anymore, leftovers of former win installation etc...
<br />
At the moment, I'm working with Kanotix linux. It's a Debian based on the Ubuntu kernel, but I'm on KDE. Maybe, I have to try Gnome to get Poser work <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" />
