wine apparantly sucks donkey balls, virtualisation is the way forward, VirtualBox or similar running in seamless application mode FTW!

Cheers, I'll give that a go.

For non-gaming I was going to fire up VMWare anyway...

But seamless mode? Yeah, that's a sexy winner ;-)

Have you not tried Evolution? You can even add Spamassassin or something to it through Package Manager.

Which file system are you using? Dolphin? Nautilius?

although not if you're conencting to exchange 2007 as as far as i'm aware they haven't re-engineered it to work wth EWS yet.

Nope, not yet. It's on my to do list...

I'm using Ext3...

Good luck with the Linux stuff. All looks pretty terrifying to me.

That's a whole lotta Space Marines! What the heck am I letting myself in for? I just picked up the Chaos Space Marine Codex on the way home from work, so I guess I know what I'm going to collect as a second faction...

It's not as bad as it appears at first ^_^

Yup, that's a lot of marines, but that's largely because I went a little crazy with the shopping...
Ooohhhh, Chaos marines, they're quite cool ^_^
Do you know which Chaos Power you'll declare for? Or Chaos Undivided?

When you have enough for a 500-750 point army we should have a game...

Yup, as I just declared in my LJ post (in which I placed the blame for my re-entry to the hobby firmly upon you!) I think I am going for Biel Tan Eldar and Emperor's Children Marines - well something Slaanesh-y anyway. Seemed appropriate to counterpoint the Eldar. And I've been enjoying reading Fulgrim at the moment.

I was slightly diasappointed to read in the Codex that it's not as easy to mix 'n match the Daemons with the marines as I first thought. I was hoping to field more than just the Daemonettes alongside the marines. I love that Masque model.

I shall get cracking with the painting and definitely take you up on the offer of a game. You'll have to go easy on the newbie though!

panzerbjrn June 5 2009, 14:44:26 UTC

Cool, sounds good ^_^

Yeah, it's a shame that Chaos Marines can't take daemons quite so easily, but since they're their own codex now it makes sense I guess...

Don't worry, I will make a very basic army when we have a game...

And as I said on your own LJ, you'd be welcome to come over on the 14th...
