I have one Linux file server in my cabinet at work (along with 4 Windows servers) ... this Linux machine has been running for about 2 years... never fails, no problems,... just sits there and does it's work. As for the Windows servers, with the exception of the Domain Controller, I've had to reboot them for one thing or another more than once during that same time.

In my case "normal rear end roar" is quite loud..... I tried the Honda Moly 60 but that just changed the "tone" ... maybe it's what I'm "putting in" that's causing the roar ... ps. guess I should say that it depends a lot where I am whether or not it's an "acceptable roar"..

and I'm too sexy for my shirt ... what can I do? (sorry... couldn't help myself)

Check this site out...it has links to all the linux distro's ... [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions[/ame]

I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my home PC. It did not auto install drivers for my HP1020 but it did for my HP4100c scanner. To get the HP1020 to work, I had to open a terminal window, switch to root user, run the command lsusb to get the Bus and Device address, then had to run the command hp-setup -i 001:002 (001=Bus, 002=Device). From that I had to answer some simple questions and voila` ... it worked!

So, I was able to get Excel & Access (v 2000) running within Fedora using Crossover; however, there's a few bugs that need to be worked out but overall, it was pretty easy. Additionally, I've got Apache web server running with all the files from our Intranet... now I just have to figure out how to make ASP.NET work and I'll be laffin!

Had that happened, there probably would have been no Microsoft and Bill would have become a server at McDonalds.... :crying:
-
I've already gone that route using MySQL and Navicat ... very easy. Then I use the MySQL ODBC connector to hook an Access front end to the MySQL tables.

I've always enjoyed woodwork but it never was a "mainstream hobby" ... so I tinkered mostly. I like cabinet work and interior remodelling and have done a couple "major" remodel jobs.

Every distro of Linux I have ever tried I have not once had difficulty connecting to the Internet. Printers hasn't been much of a problem either. Sorry you didn't have much success... download Fedora 11 and give it a try.
-
I installed Fedora 11 ... the install is very easy and it only installs what is absolutely necessary. Then you have to run the "software updates" which takes quite a long time. From there, you can install any packages you want. I downloaded the Crossover trial and got it up and running...very simple... now going to test installing Access 2000. Also intend to experiment with Apache. Piece of cake connecting to my WinXP system and copying files over to the Linux box.

You pretty much paralleled me. TI 99 4A...??? dunno what that is but my first was a Tandy something or another that used a cassette. Then I got a Tandy 1000 with a 5.25" floppy. Then I got 2 floppys...then I sold that and got another Tandy with TWO 3.5" floppys...WOW...I had so much extra space! LOL IMHO as far as Windows goes there were 4 good ones ... Windows 3.1, Windows 95 second edition, Windows NT4, and Windows XP SP2. Everything else was crap with exception of Windows 2000 but it had a few bugs as well. (not considering any Windows server software)

I keep a spare under the seat ... now what'd I do with the wrench to undo the nuts...???
-
ya... and then when an 40Mb came out we had to partition it coz the OS couldn't read beyond 34 LOL

:rotf: :rotf: very good!

thanks M8T ... I'll check into that tonight.

Goose... you seem to be the guy "in the know" to ask this question... When we rent DVD movies, we always have to crank the volume WAAYYYYY up on the TV to hear them properly. Any idea why it's like this or what I can do about it?
-
I just bought an external 3.5" Seagate 1 TB drive (USB 2.0 connection) .... it's great! Using it to store all my server and PC images on plus whatever else.
-
Thanks for the "tips" ... I recall hearing about crossover now but had forgotten about it. In the process of testing it under Fedora now.
-
THAT is cool ! I am going to post that at my desk at work !

I've thought about that ... from what I've been able to learn, running Access in wine is kinda "flaky" so may have to go a different route. Thing is, in a virtual box, I still have to run Windows which kinda defeats my purpose. We have this custom-designed application done in Access that we use for logging all the incoming calls (it's a call centre) plus, the app contains a lot of information our agents use to help direct callers. This data is updated daily. So, can't really get away from that. Wish I could re-design it into a web server based system. Maybe I need to investigate that further but this app is super fast and keyboard-driven (no mousing). Not so sure I could get the same performance out of a web-based system.

After I re-read his post, I'm thinkin you could be right ... :think:

I beg to differ ... I am looking at my son's Dell system which was built in 2006. There are no IDE slots on the motherboard. There is; however, a slot for a floppy drive controller and if a person didn't know any better, they might mistake that for an IDE slot. Perhaps the boards you've seen did in fact have IDE slots but not all do. I have a mix of Dell Optiplex GX520 (built in '06) and GX360 (built in '09) at work. None of the GX360 have an IDE channel. Some of the GX520's do but not all of them. Just throwing this out there for folks information.

I guess it would be helpful for ya'll to know my ultimate goal. I want to install a solid distro that I can setup wine on and do some testing running MS Access. Also need to be able to read/write to NTFS partition (I believe most disto's will do this using Samba no problem). Also, need to be able to connect to Windows domain with Active Directory (I've had this working before but found it to be a bit "buggey" in openSuSe) and be able to connect to Windows servers/drive shares (I'm certain this is also a part of Samba as I've done it before) ... the big thing is getting wine and MS Access to work. So, the distro that I need should not have any limitations on the extent is can be configured. Sound like fun?? LOL

A lot of the "more popular" ones all come on a "live CD" now and from what I can see, so does MEPIS. Some are available in a CD iso (less than 700 mb download) whereas others are only for a DVD iso (up to 4+ Gb download) ... FYI... Internet Explorer can't handle downloads over 4 Gb ... or so one of the Linux download sites states.
