I got my Adobe Photoshop 7 running very well on Ubuntu 8.04 Linux. Previously I tried to install CS3 version of Photoshop, but after many issues was not able to install it on Ubuntu. Here is how you can get your Photoshop 7 running on Ubuntu 8.04.

Step 1: Install Wine
On Terminal:

$ sudo apt-get install wine
Step 2: Copying Photoshop program files from Windows.
First of all, you will need to install Photoshop 7 on Windows. After installing it on Windows, create a 'Adobe' directory in "/home/YOURNAME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files".

From windows, copy the Photoshop installed directory from “c:\Program Files\Adobe” to “/home/YOURNAME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Adobe” in Ubuntu.

Step 3: Importing registry.
In your Windows box, type “regedit” in the command-line and export the whole “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Adobe/” to “adobe.reg.

If your Ubuntu box has as default charset ascii and your Windows box has ucs-2 then on terminal type:
$ sudo recode ucs-2..ascii adobe.reg
After you converted your adobe.reg file, type:
$ sudo wine regedit adobe.reg
Step 4: Create a Launcher to launch Photoshop.
Crete a new launcher on your Desktop and set command to:
wine "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Photoshop.exe"

That's it.

Have you noticed the hand-postures which I'm talking about ? Is there any different in that from person to person or any fact behind that? Just notice and think about that. How'z your posture look a like? What I guess is, these postures can tell a little bit about a person, don't know whether any survey has been done for this thing so far.









Well, there is a lot difference between Steve and Bill, their postures are difference as well. What to tell about President Barack Obama, he is having a posture of powerful man. When he does that, he make sure that all fingers of a hand are visible. What Bill is doing? nothing special. Is mine like Steve's? is it? I guess yes :). Don't know what Nirav Mehta's posture is telling. As far as I know him, its difficult to tell about him. His all fingers are closed. Sachin & Obama almost same. One thing is common between all of them, all of them are geek. I would like to collect more photos of a person doing specially this postures. Some of them are Narendra Modi, Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachhan, Sam Pitroda, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Please share such postures with me.

He's my one of the favorite musician. Now he's become the 1st Indian ever to win a Golden Globe Award. He bring the pride for India. He was nominated for the Best Original Music Score for the movie Slumdog Millionaire.

This movie has been emerged as favorite one for the prestigious Oscar. So the next is that only. It won other awards for the Best Screenplay, Best Director and Best Motion. Congrats Rahman.. Congrats INDIA.
