Ho, Ho, Ho . . . I hope I didn't imply that NOVELL are giving away Free SUSE with RR - if they are it's news to me.
What NOVELL are giving away are FREE licensed versions of RR 2.2.1 for Linux - and at present I am fiddling about with it (the SOUND, the SOUND, the SOUND) using UBUNTU Linux 5.10 which is a really super system - and really breathes life into the 6 Pentium 3 600 MHz, 128 RAM boxes I have bought for my language school. As I keep saying - RR is lovely on Ubuntu, EXCEPT I can see myself cussing and swearing (surely not?) over xanim - an extremely antiquated "thingy" which RR on Linux seems to still rely on to implement sound. But a language school with silent programs would be a standing joke! On the NOVELL website there's a series of fantastic articles by a chap who calls himself "Stomfi" on all sorts of clever things to do with Linux and RR. IF you want to spin off Standalones, however, the NOVELL-RR 2.2.1 comes with no engines in COMPONENTS folder so you will either have to download them while you build a standalone (a real fiddle) or just transfer them there from a WIN or MAC version of RR. Of course (I hope you are reading this, Heather & Co.) it would be a bit naughty to use the FREE Novell RR to spin off standalones for anything but Linux --- however, I am not the keeper of anybody else's conscience - which is a relief really. What is reALLY VERY INTERESTING IF YOU STUDY THE COURSE OF REVOLUTIONS (The French and the Russian are particularly instructive) is how the original revolutionaries always get swept aside by more radical forces. Danton and Co. all ended up with their heads in baskets. Why I wrote that I will never work out . . . Ho, Ho, Ho.
