There being Oracle 7.3.4, on Sprc Solaris 2.6 I think so Here being forms clents on windows and linux yah daminal: oh, yeah Action: jcater went from Oracle 7.3.4 on Solaris/Intel to forms clients on Win + Lin I still use the oracle database as a backend although am considering changing to SAP-DB (as it is Free but just as strong) why not postgresql? well, am considering that too however, I will say it's easier to sell ppl who feel that you must pay a support contract onoce postgresql has reliable and production quality replication.. it will REALLY rock that a product from SAP is more viable than a community-supported product whether that statement is true or not is another story but it's a matter of perception but they pay you for support ;-) This is a BaanIV system, no chance of changing DB, btw, from what I gather, SAP-DB is pretty damn impressive BeanIV? if anyone sees chilly anytime soon I wanna chat with him daminal: I'm just discussing what I might do... we definitely support oracle OK, I've been experimenting, and no joy. It's a driver thing I think, DCoracle and cxOracle need NET8 yes, they do... you still need the client libraries to connect unfortunately Bother. I've never tried to connect to a 7.3.4 db from a later client hmm Mostly because I don't have one :-) iirc, OCI8 is compatable w/7.3.4 as I've used Net8 against a 7.3.4 db running on SCO jamest (~jamest@hobbes.math.ksu.edu) left #gnuenterprise. jcater (jason@w202.z065105010.mem-tn.dsl.cnc.net) left irc: "Client Exiting" I'm encouraged.

Just installed it on the laptop. Sound, video, apm, it all worked with the default kernel. I'm still on 2.9 haven't upgraded to 3.0 yet actually, not sure if I will My fw is 2.8 as I relied on ipf heavily and as I'm sure you know, that was removed in 3.0 why OpenBSD? ad not FreeBSD? and Yes, 3.0 has pf, which is supposed to be better and more bsd licnese friendly. well, from a firewall point of view, it doesn't get much better than OpenBSD other than a disconnected ethernet cable chillywilly: security, reliablity ;) There is no other os that has tighter code reviews that obsd, commerial or free. If you want speed, and desktop stuff, go for freebsd. yea, well the license leaves something to be desired ;P eh? it's bsd it's free If you can live with a slightly slower, but rock solid box: obsd. if they want bsd-license, then that's their decision I you want win-modems and irda and other cool stuff, go for Linux. jcater: we're not going to get into that discussion btw, iptables brings similar power to linux but that's awefully recent iptables and netfilter is great And linux is finally getting a bsd-like vm system. I'll tell you a story about why I like bsd. I still miss the ports collection well, of kernels temselves as far as pure design goes the Hurd has the most interesting design I had a hard disk that was failing because of temp problems. interesting doesnt == stable ;) Wanted to make sure it was harware and not the os. Linux would get real slow. I couldn't start any new process that weren't already in ram. The shudown hung. Windows 2k just locked up tight. BAM. Freebsd? I would get a log message complaining it couldn;t swap some buffers back to disk. When I shut it down, it aplogised for taking so long. THen it admitted there was a buffer or two it couldn't write out. Sorry. But there was *no* speed decrease. It was like nothing was wrong. Turned my head around in a whole differnt direction. Obsd is useless for desktop use though. No apps. Well, some, but not the ones I wanted. Action: dsmith really really appreciate Debian. debian is good debian has become my favorite server too, though obsd is still my favorite firewall server debian is awesome debian needs some nice firewall scripts Debian is the only linux, as far as I'm concerend but you can build a rock-solid debian install as long as you do a custom install dsmith: after using debian for several months (and doing at least 2 incremental upgrades w/apt) I wonder WHY anyone would use the others gnu/linux even ;) Yep. I have a RedHat and Slackware install still in use at the office but they are gonna be phased out this summer as every six months to a year I basically do a reinstall on them And it's NOT because apt is so cool. (apt *is* cool) It's because of the Debian Policy and the high standards that the maintainers must adhere to. yes oh, yeah who's going to be my dcc gineapig? apt isn't too much superior to rpm apt isn't work much if all the dependencies are broken, and the packages are crap but the underlying apt network of packages are much superior There are people who want an rpm apt. It's the quality of that packages. I got Win4Lin running on top of debian today as well as SCO OpenServer ;) this rocks ajmitch: I am talkijg about sending out a dcc err, got SCO apps running on debian, that is I cna get them fine jcater: vmware? plex86? Win4lin plex86 isn't anywhere close to being usable yet but I've been watching it for 2 years in hope well, Win4Lin for Windows support and linux-abi for SCO support ajmitch: no dice eh? tcp 0 1 203.173.236.21:45338 192.168.1.2:9000 SYN_SENT 4971/xchat I can run my QuarkXPress, Photoshop, Freehand, and DreamWeaver in Linux now Action: jcater is happy Action: jcater does a happy dance it's not masqing your ip yea I don't know why it'll be xchat i guess hrrrm what did you all change in xchat then? there's an 'get my ip address from server' option under irc->ip address ok do I need an IP in that box above the check? nope, that's why the option is there :P ok same thing where was that lines from line ok which line? that you pasted maybe you need to do silly things like reconnect or restart xchat? what log was that from? ok i pasted that from the file i sent you no the one showing that my IP was not masq'd looked like one from a log file oh, that was netstat -nutap ok brb chillywilly (danielb@d66.as1.nwbl0.wi.voyager.net) left irc: chillywilly (~danielb@d66.as1.nwbl0.wi.voyager.net) joined #gnuenterprise. wb chillywilly thansk er, thanks jamest (jamest@fh-dialup-201030.flinthills.com) left irc: "[x]chat" jcater: why dreamweaver? i.e. what do you need dreamweaver for? i understand quark and photoshop (and dont know what the other is) it's still my favorite html editor I can actually live w/o it but it made my list bigger and we all know bigger lists are better have you tried 'bluefish' but main reasons were quark (desktop publishing), photoshop (bitmap graphics), and freehand (vector graphics) i think thats what its called for linux? yeah it's pretty cool that's actually what I'm using now not quite the same, but a good start gimp and sodipodi not usable? alexey (alex@195.151.214.33) joined #gnuenterprise. sodipodi? actually, our marketing manager (a good friend of mine) is BEGGING me to get her KDE + Debian vecotr graphics program vector now that I can get her apps to run under debian, she might get her wish ;) cool :) jcater: why she wanting debian + kde? well, she's my lunch partner as so naturally I talk about crap I face at work ah but I've been going on and on about how easier my job is well i might have good news will all the debian servers, etc plus it "looks cool" for documentatoin my group isnt willing to do markup so that makes docbook out they would 'willing' to look at lyx but getting lyx working on windows is like impossible ok however, i think we have sold star office :) (open office) ah, cool as it has built in version control! open office does? and has 'master documents' to assign sytles jcater: yip cool i tested it heavily the other day pretty slick Staroffice is amazingly close to m$ stuff. I'm wanting to switch my office it lets you even do diffs i.e. each document allows you to save as version jcater: open or star? and basically do a comment like 'cvs does' then you can open old versions or do diffs between versions well, preferably OpenOffice but I haven't tested both yet not as good as cvs obviously, but its way better than word method they use now I didn't particularly like Star 5.2's integrated desktop myfile.doc myfile1.doc myfile2.doc myfile3.doc :) so takes 62 seconds to start on my box open office is slick i use at work a lot now dsmith: which? bbs store drive Action: derek drives to the store (unlike them hicks that insist on 'running') jcater: Umm. 5.2 ? yeah Action: dsmith checks that's why we didn't switch a year or so ago too slow Yes, 5.2.
