Well, since this thread hasn't been updated in a while, I thought I'd show off what I achieved in my VMWare virtual Machine running Linux Mint 17.3 Cinammon -I've been using it for the past 5-6 days since I decided to take the plunge to install a virtual machine (hadn't done this before, it was easier than I thought), and thanks to this I now know more or less my way around Linux Mint and won't be lost when (yes, when, and not if, judging by the direction Windows has taken...) I'll transition to it as my main OS -whenever that may be...As a side note, I'm really satisfied with the look I achieved, so I'll be using it for a while...Also, I do love me some desktop shortcuts... :P
P.S. I case you wonder why I chose that particular game on the screenshot, it's because it was the smallest sh file I found amongst my linux-compatible gog games -I wanted to test how this type of files installs and launches...
P.S.2 Also sorry for the slight bluriness of the pic, I saved it as jpg in order to be able to upload it here regarding its size...
hummer010: There's a huge collection of old maps available on the internet at
www.davidrumsey.com. You can download high resolution scans of them. I have a 36"x90" plot of this one on my wall in my office at home.
On another note, I browsed the previous pages of the thread and saw this link of yours, and indeed some pretty good maps are there -I don't think one can find maps of Crete and Cyprus in many places and in a good quality too...So thanks for the link from me as well. :-)
