I just recently installed Ubuntu using Wubi, and I'm having a great
time with it. As can be expected from someone who'd never touched Linux in his
life, I've got a couple of questions.
First of all, I know that Windows and Linux have some readability issues, but I
was wondering if it matters when it comes to actual file type. That is, if I
were to save a file as .doc in Ubuntu, and sent it to someone using Windows,
could they read it? That's really the most important one.
Secondly, I installed Wine and Wine-door, but I originally just downloaded the
installer and ran it before doing anything in Synaptic Packages. As a result,
Wine-doors, upon start-up, was unable to download any of the packages that I was
told I should install with it. Well, I've sorted the synaptic stuff out, but I
still don't have any packages in Wine-door, and I'm kind of at a loss. Hm, this
is getting long, I think I'll just do one more.
Ok, this one is just a convenience thing. In Windows, I was a big fan of
Strokeit, the mouse gestures program. I understand that Ubuntu has something
similar, but I haven't been able to get much info on it.
