[09:30] <xubuntu95w> Hello, does anyone know the best method to use a windows-orientated program under xubuntu?
[09:41] <xubuntu95w> Is Wine the best, or is there another, better possibility?
[09:43] <xubuntu95w> I mostly (about 99%) work with Xubuntu 14.04 LTS, but there are 1 or 2 programs which I use, which are only there under Windows.
[09:55] <Meerkat> xubuntu95w, what kind of programs? You may be able to run them better in a virtual machine. I do that for Hammer and some other applications.
[10:42] <q3575634> No have vpn L2TP (no encryption). My provider use vpn l2tp  or a small number of pptp users pptp. pptp not works normaly internet speed only 2000 kbits. But new users only L2tp In my country I think it will be more than one hundred thousand connected to that ISP. Provider gradually translate users on PPPOE but the full transition will take I think at least 5 years if not more

[10:48] <q3575634> i not use router
[11:13] <q3575634>   There are only two options: to have a router or VirtualBox/vmvare Player on Windows.
[11:23] <q3575634> This disease is almost all Linux. Not working properly PPTP/L2TP. How are things going with the server version. There is support by default, l2tp on the server version of Ubuntu without configuring through command and additional installation of packages l2tp?
[11:25] <xubuntu37w> Hi !  I have a quick question...   How to report a bug in Xubuntu 14.04 LTS??

[14:03] <xubuntu822> trying to get a live usb for gparted to reduce my dir - maybe that is THE only way to avoid long waits...just don't know yet
[14:03] <bazhang> get the gparted iso then
[14:03] <bazhang> 60mb at last check
[14:04] <bazhang> gparted.sourceforge.net should have it
[14:07] <xubuntu822> Thanks - newbie here...Had to reinstall after I tore up tables or such - I was booting off usb Ubuntu then openning up gparted - prob not the procedure but I gave it a shot...then lost all - Rebooting and re-installing now so I can make the live usb gparted... thanks for the info - this is my first awareness of on-line presence - awesome!
[14:09] <xubuntu822> I assume Ill need an installer of sorts... thx for the heads up on 60mb partition size!
[14:10] <xubuntu822> thanks bazhang!
[14:10] <bazhang> np
[14:12] <xubuntu822> my goal is to install versions of windows in their own partition...or maybe I should keep the remaining space for the various virtual drives... or not...
