I installed the current version of yahoo messenger to Wine. I see the yahoo messenger icon on my desktop but when I click on it nothing happens. Also I'm using Ubuntu 8.4? I'm also new to Linux/Ubuntu so please be patient with me. Thanks! Bye!
Wine for a chicken and swiss cheese dish? I'm not a fan of drinking wine, but I enjoy the flavor it adds to dishes when it is used in the cooking process. I'm planning on making a chicken dish with swiss cheese for dinner tonight and would like to substitute a dry white wine for the water my recipe calls for. Problem is, I have no idea what to look for. I know the general rule is not to cook with a wine you wouldn't drink. Whats a girl to do if she doesn't drink wine in the first place?

Yahoo Messenger essentially does not work under WINE. See http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=29 Kopete is, however, is in most ways a superior chat vehicle and is very likely already installed on your machine -- or easily retreived from Repository. It only shortcoming is that it does not at this time support voice chat. One will need to go to Ekiga or Skype for that. Pax, ~rc _____ "More than any time in history mankind faces a crossroad.

I'm not sure how much desktop dependence Kopete, a KDE app, exhibits. I don't chat. My wife, however, who very much does, tells me that she uses Kopete on her Ubuntu 8.04 Gnome set-up because it facilitates bi-directional WebCam use (which Pidgin does not?) and supports all the commonly used instant messaging protocols such as Yahoo, AIM, ICQ, MSN, etc., etc. No voice support though.
