- I think that the intermittent broken greeter issue has been fixed. Reinstalling the mpm package seemed to fix it.
- Scribus is installed and seems to work fine. I will need to learn it, but it's not like I was an expert with Microsoft Publisher.
- VirtualBox is running a Windows 7 virtual machine in seamless mode, which is incredibly slick. It will handle any non-game Windows application I might need to run.
- WINE is installed and working. Using it, I can run EverQuest II without any obvious issue, although it could use more of a stress test. Vanguard was less successful and seemed to break the greeter as described above, but I have not yet given up on it.
- There are a few other games I'm going to try to install, notably GW2. Steam is going to be a question mark for now.
- An attempted install of Campaign Cartographer 3 under WINE appeared to fail... but I can use it nonetheless. A few files will not open without erroring out, but this is nothing new.
- Fractal Terrains installed and runs fine under WINE but did not associate .ftw files with the application. I will need to do this manually.
- WINE is updated and still works.
- Minecraft is set up and runs natively in Linux.
- Using Netflix Desktop (which runs Silverlight under WINE) I can watch Netflix.
So... yeah. I am not "done," but there has been major progress.
