Thumbs up [Ubuntu/Linux:]►Test-Drive Applications Without Installing Them


Great news for us Ubuntu users. You can now run Applications without installing them

I know this is not a PS3 Hack, but it relates to those of us that use this awesome program in this section

To get this to work you firstly must install a package called "qtnx":

PHP Code:
sudo apt-get install qtnx 
Then when you open Ubuntu Software Center you should see a new "Test drive" button next to the application screenshot.

The applications run on a remote server so you must have a decent Internet connection and also, this is not available for all the applications in the Ubuntu Software Center, but nevertheless, this feature sounds awesome.

Here's a video I've just recorded so you can see exactly how it works:

A step in the right direction, for me at least. Linux is so complicated for me at times I just hate using it.

Ubuntu is the best, because it is n00b friendly
