Crossloop Could Run in Linux Ubuntu through Automatrix2!!!

After my last blog regarding Crossloop, I was wondering how I would be able to use it in my preferred Operating System - Linux Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Pawn. I no longer would like to do dual booting from Linux to Windows XP. Not that I hated Windows but I prefer to use pure Open Source. I almost tried every virtual players that could run in Linux Ubuntu to make it happen but to no avail. Probably, unlike some other fellows who are technically adept in Ubuntu, I am just a newbie in this field and entering commands in the terminal is not that easy for me specially when I encounter errors. I was almost about to give up. But I love Linux Ubuntu and Crossloop and I am already into it specially that I am going to run a virtual assistance business. It is a must that we would be able to run it to be able to provide our customers with a hands-on technical support or assistance.

There was even a time that I was able to install Wine in Ubuntu but along the way when I was about to install Crosloop in my machine, something isn't right so it didn't happen. I persevered for several weeks trying VM Ware, Virtual Box and Wine over and over. I have heard several good feedbacks about Wine but the problem was how to be able to install it in my 64bit AMD PC running in Ubuntu 7.04. Several attempts were made but there is always an error.

I was thinking if I should just run Crossloop in my other PC with Windows or just go again for dual booting using my main PC. But the desire to stay 100% with Linux Ubuntu is bigger and so as running Crossloop. So, I continued my search until yesterday I finally found a site which is actually a blogsite that leads me to the instant solutions that I need.

I was so excited and readily installed the Automatix2 and Presto! All the applications that I need to be able to run Crossloop is there. It installed Wine for me the easiest way and after that I was then able to run Crossloop without any qualms. I then tested it to a friend's PC wherein I am the joiner and I could access his computer the way that a Windows PC could access it. It is indeed a very pleasant experience to find out that I could now offer assistance to PC's running in Windows. Great! Since this is the only function that I need to be able to offer remote assistance to who ever it is who needed my help specially in our business.

Whew! Linux Ubuntu and Crossloop are the Perfect Combinations for me. There is really no turning back now except to move and soar forward. I am hoping that soon Crossloop would also run in Ubuntu just like the way that it runs over Windows. :)
