Now I see what you mean. Don't make too much of it. I've managed to get it running and wrote some documentation that works. But I've only installed it at one site (my childrens school library) yet. > Solaris developers will be very happy to know that you have made the wise > move to > choose OpenSolaris as your main platform and, in a sense, integrated Koha > into Sun's > SAMP web stack.

You're jumping to conclusions ;-). I've almost never used Linux. I've been running UNIX since mid 80's and almost always on some version of SunOS. But, as a matter of fact, I'm just now trying to set up Koha on Ubuntu (Hardy) and make some documentation on the differences vs OpenSolaris. > About seven years ago I was interested in helping > improving our local libraries and more than one person recommended Koha.

Koha is a very competitive library system which is liked by many. However it's a PITA to get it installed both on Solaris and Linux. Perl dependencies is a nightmare. > I have bookmarked your home site. Thanks again. You're welcome. _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
