Yes.. I know theres a lot of office suites out there for linux.. the problem is: In my actual work, I *MUST* use the dammit OOXML for docs, spreadsheets, presentations and Visio for stuff. I personaly hate Office2007 but.. I just need it…

• Download and install crossover-game trial at codeweavers (yes, crossover games)
• Install the last wine available (Ubuntu 8.04 have a good one, gentoo ~x86 too)
• Download and install winetricks at http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
• Now, go to console and type winecfg to create your first wine configuration.
• From winetricks, install this packages: dotnet11, dotnet20, gdiplus, msxml3, msxml4, msxml6, vcrun2005sp1 and vcrun2008.
• Now, go to /home/<youruser>/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 and rename rpcrt4.dll to something like rpcrt4.dll.bak
• Copy /opt/cxgames/lib/wine/rpcrt4.dll.so to /home/<youruser>/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/rpcrt4.dll (yes, without the .so).
• Mount office cd with -o unhide option (I don’t know why, but if you automount, the cd will miss some files).
• Go to directory of cdrom and type wine setup.exe
• Now you can uninstall crossover trial, remove the rpcrt4.dll used and put the old one in this place (now office 2007 will work with the old one).

Update 1: It’s a good one to install riched20 and riched30 to have a better look on fonts.
Update 2: 4j4x translate this post to indonesian, check here
Update 3: MS Project and MS Outlook doesn’t work (project claims to not being installed to current user, I think this is just a registry problem).
Update 4: MS Visio and Office updates works as well.
Update 5: Alain reports the .Net 1.1 asks for ie5 (this doesn’t occurs with me), but without the .net 1.1 the installation works.
Update 6: I don’t know why but Powerpoint doesn’t work to everyone.

Thanks for all testing and reporting.

Sometimes I need to analyse *something* in TSM (I’m very noob with TSM) and I never remember any commands

Hi all

In the last days I think to make some simple script to make my backups (I have a TSM server in my company, but I’m not there all the time). So I create some simple stuff to make backups when I’m not on home or in my desk (Just simpel tars + rar + pass, without crypt, to send via net to my job or to some gmail fs-space-a-like).

Reading Zeth’s blog, I’ve found this interesting article about encrypting your /home.. And the reasons had convinced me to do the same.

One observation (I see this happen in more than one thinkpad model) :

I don’t know why, but Ubuntu linux eat lots of minutes to boot with a black screen, and when you use a encrypted /home, you’ll need to imaginate when type the password..

A: Just remove “splash silent” from the line kernel of your grub.

UPDATE: Just edit /etc/usplash.conf

Since my job are freak about using office 2007 docs (and Im freak about not using windows), I just trying to find some way to do this inside linux.

Ingredients:

1/2 bootle of vodka or cachaça (not aguardente).
2 Passion Fruits
1 pack of Sweetened Condensed Milk

Method:

Just put all the things in a blender and put some water (to make less strong).

I don’t know if this works in any unix, but for me works in AIX and Linux.
Sorting CPU usage:

# ps -eo pid,user,%cpu,args --sort %cpu

First of all, let me say that I’m not defending any version of windows, so this is become the same old bullshit all the time.
