stevie_b Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 As the title says. I have no experience of it (other than it's like WINE) so I don't know if it's any good. Linky: http://lameduck.codeweavers.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Working for me, and crossover is sort of the commercial side of WINE as I understand it, so awesome - thanks very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 Try this one: http://lameduck.codeweavers.com/free/ I think the codeweavers' webserver is overloaded today, so they seem to be tinkering with the configuration every few hours. There should be a simple web form where you can enter an email address. They then email you a product code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Nice one. Worth grabbing even if I've all but given up playing games on Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Nice one. Worth grabbing even if I've all but given up playing games on Linux. It's funny really. I've totally gone beyond the point of "oh shit, I can't use "x" program/game/simulator. Need to go back to Windows". I'm now "OK, I'll do it the Linux way instead, or I'll use my Laptop, or the VM, or if it just totally isn't possible, I'll not bother" I still have the kvm virt-machine with XP for NetSupport and Outlook, but once Evolution is relicensed, the OpenChange plugin will be released and I'll have proper native Exchange server connectivity through Evolution, so then I'll only be using the KVM for PPTP VPNs and then NetSupport over those VPNs. I'll probably just find alternates at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Eh? I thought you were onto all this virtual machine stuff already KVM is the kernel based virtual machine system that's built into the Linux kernel, so I have a virtual machine based on KVM that's running XP Pro. It's like VMWare or VirtualBox but already there built into the system. I use that XP virtual machine to run Outlook because of my Exchange server, and to dial into customers networks via the internet (PPTP VPN servers). I also need that XP virtual machine to run the actual remote-control program that I use once I've dialed into customer's networks, and that's called NetSupport Manager. Evolution is the free world's Outlook, but up until now it hasn't been able to deal with Exchange servers except through a very broken HTTP based plugin. Openchange (http://www.openchange.org) is a free implementation of Microsoft's MAPI/RPC protocol, for building an open source Exchange Server drop-in replacement, and at the same time the librarys needed for building a plugin for Evolution (any anything else that wants to do MAPI) to make it talk to Exchange servers properly/natively, using MAPI/RPC like Outlook does. The Openchange code is good, almost totally usable. The next version (0.8) is due to be released like today/tomorrow, according to the lead developer on the mailing list, but the plugin for Evolution is on hold because the people who have contributed code to Evolution have done so under various different GPL-like free software licenses, but all that code needs to be re-licensed under a newer type of license to be compatible with OpenChange and other stuff that OpenChange uses (Samba4), and this requires explicit permission from every person who has ever contributed any code into Evolution.

Thorin Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Which version of NetSupport manager do you need? I've got version 8.0 for linux working fine here. Doesn't even required a serial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
