Just installed Ubuntu about an hour ago and there is one thing that has me wondering...

Why doesn't it recognize .exe files?

 

[Gambit]

an .exe file is something a dos/windows machine uses

 

[sn3rd]

exe files are compiled for running on Windows. If you want to run them, you need to install wine. Some programs don't work well with wine, some do.

Because it's not windows.

Do not try and compare the two or expect the one to behave like the other. If you do you are going to be dissapointed.

Just got my 3G working. This rocks! Just sucks that I've been trying to get it connected on Linux from yesterday.
