I'm guessing that some of my misery with getting Wine working is due to the
fact that I'm still on OpenSolaris 2008.11 for my main desktop and need to
upgrade to a newer version (i.e. 2009.06) to get things working. Packet Tracer
uses a lot of audio / sound and it's safe to say that audio / soun
This Packet Tracer bug is weird because Packet Tracer used to run fine in Wine
under Linux:
http://inspirated.com/2009/03/06/using-cisco-packet-tracer-on-linux
And my Wine in OpenSolaris does have some functionality as I am able to run
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6 and Firefox 2 for Win
I tried running CISCO's Packet Tracer software:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisco_Packet_Tracer
on my aging OpenSolaris 2008.11 box and the installation went fine and
completed ok, but as soon as I tried to use Wine to run Packet Tracer I got
this error message going around in an infinite loop
I just uploaded the 1.8.2 .pbi for PC-BSD
:)
Cheers,
Tom

Oh, I forgot to mention, I heard that one of the changes in the newest bleeding
edge builds of Solaris Express and Open Solaris totally breaks Win4Solaris when
you try to run it on those newer builds. I'm going to take a wild guess and say
it was either Crossbow or Boomer that broke it, as it's
@davenz, if you're looking for a way to run Office 2007 in a big (thousands of
users) environment using Sun Ray thin clients, the best way to do it might be
to use the Win4Solaris virtual desktop server software instead of something
based on Wine.

Not only that, but large chunks of our operation are still on Office 2K3. Many
users will continue to use it for quite some time yet, I expect.

Why not just switch to OpenOffice.org from Sun Microsystems? It's free, it's
open source, and IMO it's much better than Microsoft Office 2k7:

It sounds like something I'll probably buy when I get my OpenSolaris Toshiba
laptop, as it's worthwhile to have a "supported" version and the money is going
to a good cause. But I have a few questions:
Can you buy a "hard copy" of the software, like a CD-Version, or is it download
only? And if
Office 2K7 support would be very attractive, I must say.

Hello,
Yes Bordeaux is a separate package and it currently cost $25.00 all the money
from sales goes back into hacking hours. Monday we started our Wine bundle,
what this means is in the future Bordeaux will come bundled with a recent Wine
release and some hacks, patches to improve application
I have the Wine package installed and I have /usr/bin/wine and /usr/bin/winecfg
files, but I don't think there is a Bordeaux installer anywhere in my
/usr/share/wine or /usr/lib/wine or /usr/include/wine directories. I'm guessing
that Bordeaux is something that I have to purchase from a third pa
Sweet!
Surely this would be a great match for something like Sun Ray, where running
the full Sun VDI solution to deliver a full virtualised Windows desktop would
be cost prohibitive from the standpoint of back end server hardware and Windows
licenses.
