Wine - Linux how to get install

Hello.

A major problem on any form of Linux is the incompatibility with the huge variety of Windows software. The free project WINE, allows you to run Windows designed software on your Linux OS! All you need to get started is a command line that knows no fear!

HOWTO: Get WINE to run on Ubuntu, Debian, or a Debian based OS

To start, crack open the CLI (command line interface). First, we need to add the repository to our repositories list.

Code: wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Then we add the source to the sources list.

Edgy (Ubuntu 6.10)

Code: sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/edgy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

Dapper (Ubuntu 6.06)

Code: sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/dapper.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

Now that we have the sources and repositories, we can get the program.

Code (for any): sudo apt-get update

And then to install

Code: sudo apt-get install wine

Now WINE is installed! All you need to do is update your system (using the automatic updates feature) and you're all set. Any .exe file can now be open by right-clicking and hitting "Open with WINE Windows Emulator". Enjoy!

NOTE: WINE will not run certain programs. Be sure to check the WINE website for a list of fully supported programs.

Edit hosts and block spyware in Linux

This is copy from anil_robo from Ubuntu Forum: all credit goes to him

Hi all! I'm seeing heated discussions on spyware for linux, and I think it's a well-suited time to post a useful tutorial here. By following these simple steps, you will be able to block most advertisement banners on webpages, virus-infected websites, spyware-infected websites, and other insecure websites.

Theory: In Linux, the file /etc/hosts contains information about how the system interprets website domain names. If you want to block a website, just make it point to your local address (e.g. www.site-to-be-blocked.com will point to 127.0.0.1 => The site won't open at all!).

How to: First, you need a good hosts file to install. The one I use is here.

Click on that link right now, and the file will open in a browser or a text editor. Select all the text in the file, and copy it.

Now open a terminal, and type
Code:

sudo gedit /etc/hosts

Your hosts file should open up. This file may already have some entries in it, which we're not going to change. Go to the end of the file, and "paste" the contents of the hosts file you had copied to the clipboard earlier.

Save the hosts file, close it, and reboot your computer.

A lot of people have recommended using adblock extension for Firefox instead of this hosts-file blocking method. Adblock protects you against spyware/adware when you're surfing the internet through Firefox. But what about the other malicious things you can get through other programs? For example, in your email which you view through evolution? Since evolution accesses internet directly, I'd still go for blocking all the parasites through the hosts file.

In addition, I'd like to know how can I change the default error page in Firefox. I'd like to replace the big error message by a little one so that the page structure in firefox after ad-blocking looks acceptable. Thanks
