Okay, right after I’ve bulk upgraded my debian packages, I couldn’t get my Thunderbird Mail Client to run. First I thought, maybe some bugged version upgrade again. I checked at my Kmenu, a name “Icedove” came into my attention. Icedove Mail Client? So I clicked on it to check out what on earth is that. Guess what, it’s Thunderbird! No difference I can tell with the previous version of thunderbird I had before upgrade.

So I was curious, tried to dig some information out of this. It seems that Mozilla foundation has enforced its Trademark Policy against Linux distributions that maintain/release Mozilla software suits (those you can easily get with your deb/rpm package manager). Various Linux distributions release their own security patches, and their own versioning method have made these releases “Unofficial”, according to Mozilla. So the names (Mozilla, Firefox, Thunderbird etc) and the logos cannot be used in these unofficial releases.

This is very big surprise to me, check out this IEs4Linux! A godsend!
Especially if you are big linux fan, yet need to worry about web pages layouts in Internet Explorer. This is your saviour.

Okay here’s how it starts. Use your synaptic, aptitude, or even apt-get to get these package.

2. libwine
3. libxxf86dga1

I’m back, after a few crazy weeks with projects. Sad to tell, i’m back with a very bad news. To me, and to all the P2P users in Malaysia. If you use BitTorrent, eMule, DC++, IRC, Limeware or any other Peer-To-Peer file sharing softwares, this is the end of it. No more high speed download for you.

TMNET has been performing a major upgrade nation wide, most of us have been experiencing connection problem in the past few weeks, or months. It is funny that I still remember their auto responding voice message when calling their hotline number. “We are performing a series of upgrade, in order to serve you better.” or some sort. Yeah right, to serve us better.
