I have been experiencing problems to attach files larger than 200kb to emails.
I don't remember when this started happening but, since I normally do not work with files that large by email, the thing was nothing that a minor nuisance to me.
Today, when trying to find the root of the problem, I got side-tracked and ended up stumbling on a happy discovery.
You see, back in 2008 or so, I had to give up my favorite Windows game: Tomb Raider 4 "The Last Revelation." This was not caused by my commitment to Linux (I did not start using Linux until 2009), but because a Windows XP update made the game crash.
Then I migrated to Linux and playing Tomb Raider again became a lost hope.
Until today.
I did not remember I owned a Tomb Raider Chronicles DVD. Well, I
installed it with WINE on my desktop with PCLinuxOS and, after changing
some settings... I could play with Lara Croft again!
I never played Tomb Raider Chronicles on Windows. Like I said, I did not even remember I had the DVD, so I was excited to hear familiar tunes and, like a child with a new gift, I did not worry about the playability of the game.
I will go back to the game on vacations. Right now, and after all this time without playing Tomb Raider, I was satisfied with having Lara run around, walk, climb, jump, and shoot---on Linux!
Gotta work. Er, wait. Megatotoro is reporting that Pisi Linux is alive! Wow, another unexpected finding! :-)
A blog to compile what I have learned (and what I am learning) about Mandriva (and GNU/Linux in general) since 2009, when I migrated. Current distros I'm using: OpenMandriva Lx ROME 5.0, Mageia 9, MX 19, Manjaro 23.1, and Elive 3.
