For example, I was looking for a sticky notes gadget but could not find one. On a Google site, I found something called MultiNote that would do the job, but how do I get Google Gadgets to read in the downloaded file (MultiNote.gg)? Hi,

We run *nix because we want a nice lightweight OS that can do everything we need it to. If the gadgets just bog it down, then what would be the point. I'm sure the gadgets run and look great but what is the point of all of that if we could just do anything they do without them and using half the resources. I am going to go get them to put on my PCLinuxOS box as well as my Gentoo box to see how well they run. I guess only time will tell on if Google's effort will be worth it.

]]> Comment on Play Half-Life and other Steam games with Wine by Lewis http://ubuntudaily.com/2007/02/22/play-half-life-and-other-steam-games-with-wine/#comment-3025 Lewis Tue, 03 Jun 2008 18:45:47 +0000 http://ubuntudaily.com/?p=11#comment-3025 I believe most Valve games are built on the Source game engine. Half Life 2 is built on the source engine, so expansions and mods to it should work also. If I am correct in my theory, Team Fortress 2 should work aswell. I read on Digg recently that the source engine is going to be ported to Linux "soon". I believe most Valve games are built on the Source game engine.

There are some tools on the market that already have taken advantage of this technology. Good bye Photoshop!!!!! I’m impressed about Reshade. It is one of the cheapest photo processing tools on the market and the quality processed images are stunning. You simply have to try it for free at reshade.com. You will be impressed too. Or if you think there is a better one, I would be grateful for other suggestions. Photography and other image processing domains are taken to their limits with these new techniques.

Guild Wars for example. :-) I’m pretty sure this would be the best thing ever for Linux! Games being ported to Linux for use would be amazing.
