Looking around the web about an update for my
Linux-Mac-Windows CSS font matching list i found the interesting post
"Are Vista Fonts Ready for the Web?". Windows Vista shipped with
new screen optimized fonts that are only available there and it seems at the moment there aren't equal fonts on the other platforms available.

As an email client i'm using
Evolution which offers a great connectivity to the Gnome Desktop. Like any other software it is not perfect and has some usablity leaks. Once i created a

Deb package is available for Ubuntu too.

Again M$ has a "new" strategy for "opening" there formats and APIs. So at the moment they contact open source projects for some kind of "help" and took as an example for moving towards to open source their OpenXML - very strange behavior at all. They
contacted the Blender heads too . Read the
article at Groklaw about the true goals of M$. There is a discussion about that email at the
Blenderartitst board too.

Wine 1.0 RC1 is now available for
download. After 15 years of development it is planed to publish Wine on the 6th of June as final. Help the Wine project finding bugs and getting 1.0 stable.
Here is a short howto:
* Make sure Wine 1.0 RC1 and your favorite Windows app are installed
* Open a terminal and start your application with
env WINEPREFIX="~/.wine" wine "C:\Path\To\Your\app.exe"
* Check the output in the terminal and copy it per action via Ctrl+C into a text editor
(an example
http://www.neeneenee.de/wine_photoline1451.txt)* Go to the
Wine bugtracker create a account or login
* First make sure the bug isn't submited yet
* If the bug exist create a comment and append a link to your textfile of the output
If you do not have any Wine experience check out my post
"Getting your Windows app running on Linux in a easy way". You can
tweak the Wine GUI too to give it a more Ubuntu styled look.

Adobe did another step towards to Open Source. With the
Open Screen Project Adobe opens the
FLV/FLV4- and
SWF specification to everybody. Of course Adobe did this too push its
AIR and Flash technology against the M$'s Silverlight and Sun's JavaFX.

...

During my own update session and the talk about
WINE at the
Hardy release party Berlin i forget that besides the normal Ubuntu distribution
Ubuntu Studio 8.04 is available too.
Ubuntu Studio is a special edition packed with a lot off tools for creatives focused on Graphics, Sound and Video. It ships with a special dark theme too and supports realtime audio by the kernel. You can update your normal Ubuntu installation to Ubuntu Studio by installing the "ubuntu-studio-*" packages.
Thanx to
Dan for reminding me

PSD, editor, wine, ubuntu
...

If you are missing features in Gimp and didn't like to pay a lot for Photoshop you should definitely tryout
Photoline. It's powerfull and stable as Photoshop itself, has the best PSD file support i ever saw and it is
really cheap.
The only bad thing is you need
Wine to get it running on Linux. At the moment i getting some problems with the icons of the toolbars and sometimes the cursor is not visible. I think this could be fixed soon when a new stable version of Wine is available.
All about Photoline 14.51 can be found in the
release notes.
UPDATE: I added a
bug report to the bugzilla of the Wine project.
