Good news to old time gamers, now you can play Dune 2 on Linux operating system natively (without dosbox or other emulator) with Dune Legacy project. For the uninitiated, (to my best knowledge), Dune 2 is the first RTS game for DOS (by Westwood, then acquired by EA Games) that spawn several other popular games in the genre such as C&C, Red Alert, Red Alert 2, etc.
Youtube video of Dune Legacy :
The Ubuntu binary (playable under Lucid Lynx) is available from – http://www.myway.de/richieland/dunelegacy_0.96_i386.deb and http://www.myway.de/richieland/dunelegacy_0.96_amd64.deb
Naturally you would need the original data files and maps to play Dune Legacy natively on Linux. Binaries for other operating systems (Windows, Mac OS X) are also available from the Dune Legacy Project website.

I found a great article from UbuntuGeek on how to turn Microsoft Windows 7 desktop to Ubuntu, with proper theme hack. The result is amazing!

Not exactly GNU/Linux related, but it seems easy enough to build a Green PC, provided that we have all the stuff. Talking about the stuffs, where can I get those parts in Malaysia? Do please share with me…

GNU/Linux,
Ubuntu/Debian
Let’s say you’ve manage to get yourself into a GNU/Linux bash terminal. What can you do in order to determine its distro and release information? Listed here are the three methods to get release information of a running GNU/Linux box.
lsb_release method
You can type “lsb_release -a”
/etc/*release and /etc/*issue method
Alternatively, you could try typing “cat /etc/*release” or “cat /etc/*issue”.
/proc/version method
If else fails, you could always try the “cat /proc/version” method to see where the kernel came from.
Hope this would help!
