[LI] Lotus notes on Linux

[skhader@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hello Folks,
Just accomplished the feat of using Lotus notes client on Linux.

The procedure to run Lotus notes Client is as follows:
Download Wine ( Anyway i have it now ) from http://www.winehq.org
or http://rufus.w3.org   and install it.

Then edit /etc/wine/wine.conf and edit the relevant entries

in the [Drive C] section
change the path line as follows

path=/dosc        /* this is where I mount my windows partition */

and in the [wine] section

add a line
printer=on

and in the [Tweak.Layout] section
change the line as follows
WineLook=win95

and We are ready to run Lotus Notes on Linux. ;-)

Now goto /dosc/notes directory and  run

wine notes &
which should start Lotus Notes for you.

Please note:  Replace /dosc with the directory name where you mount
your windows partition.

Well, I am sending this mail from Lotus Notes running in Linux.
All these days I was sort of tired rebooting between windows
and Linux.  Now I can safely boot into Linux and use it the wholeeeeee
day and also use Lotus notes at the same time. Yaaaaaaaahhooooooooooooo!!

Well, I think I can write one more HOWTO now. ;-)

That's all folks.

Happy Linuxing.....
Regards
               Khader
