For some time I've been using RO4.02 on RPCEmu 0.8.9. Overall, this works fine on my Xubuntu boxes.
All being well, I should shortly get an ARMiniX to start using. That may lead to a 'cascade' of changes and there are aspects I'd like to ask for comments about here... *If* the ARMiniX works as nicely as I hope I may decide to retire my Iyonix. (Currently running RO 5.18.) That, in turn, means I may decide to use RPCEmu to run RO software that would need Aemulor on the ARMiniX. That may be simpler and more reliable. In conjunction with that, I am planning sometime soon to install 0.8.10 and use that instead of 0.8.9. Which prompts me to ask about the following points... First the minor ones: 1) The only (minor) snags I have with 0.8.9 / 4.02 are that the mouse pointer seems to be 'on skates' and seems to have some inertial effect that causes it to go on sliding across the window for a while after I stop moving the mouse. 2) The other snag is that shutdown 'freezes' the RPCEmu window. Is this fixed? 3) shuft-F12 doesn't open a taskwindow. But I think my Xubuntu desktop is the cause and it is trapping the keys for something else. I can live happily enough with the above, but are (1) or (2) fixed in 0.8.10? The more serious question is: Is there any particular reason I should also try switching to 5.18 or 5.19 rather than 4.02? The context is that I'm using RPCEmu purely for convenience as a way to do some processing using my own existing progs in conjunction with Linux ones, and will be adding to that using it as a preferred alternative to Aemulor. BTW Am I correct in assuming that installing 0.8.10 is the same process as for earlier versions and that I can copy across my files from 0.8.9?
