Using Wine in Linux-part 2.

Here is another one of my videos showing more ways to use Wine in Linux Mint.

Using Wine in Linux.

Here is one of my videos showing how to run Windows software on Linux Mint using Wine. Which is a software that lets you install and run Windows web browsers on Linux.

How to use Wine in Linux Mint to install Windows software.

It is possible to install and run Windows software on Linux by installing a software called Wine. This allows you to install Windows web browsers on Linux. The Mozilla based web browsers such as Safefox and Comet Bird install and run fine on Linux. But Wine does not work for Internet Explorer engine based browsers like Green browser. Which installs but will not run on Linux.

Linux Mint.

Although I am not ready to give up my Windows operating system for Linux and to be honest I think that Windows is better. But other Windows users may be looking for an alternative and while Linux is very different from Windows.Some brands are quite difficult to use and master. But Linux Mint is made for windows users in mind and so the start menu and desktop is set out similar to Windows. But the operating system is quite different. Linux Mint is also more user friendly than Ubuntu. Here is one of my videos explaining more.

Linux installed alongside Windows.

A lot of people want an alternative operating system to Windows and many are turning to Linux. Which unlike Mac it is open source and free. But is it really better than Windows? And more important,should you give up Windows and replace it with Linux? While it is possible to replace Windows completely with Linux there is another option.

And that is to keep Windows and install Linux alongside of it. I have tried several Linux operating systems on my laptop, a Netbook. And installing Linux alongside Windows is the best and safer option as then it is installed either with a Windows installer or mounted on a removable CD drive or CD Rom.

Safefox web browser-video.

Here I talk about Safefox browser which is another open source version of Firefox made only for Windows computers.

Safefox browser.

Firefox is one of the most popular browsers that many people use but it is not without it's problems. Because Firefox is made to be compatible with all computer software,it often slows and crashes. But there are many Firefox open source versions,that is Firefox browsers that use the Mozilla code and work like Firefox.

One such browser is Safefox which is an open source version of Firefox but unlike Firefox, Safefox browser is made only for Windows computers. I recently wrote about Pale Moon web browser which is another open source version of Firefox,also made only for Windows. But Pale Moon is only a year old as it was made last year in 2009. But Safefox has been around a lot longer than that and was brought out before Pale Moon.
