Am 31. Aug, 2007 schw�tzte Phillip Waclawski so:
Oh, I'm not sure if I can make any more of the meetings, but does
someone post them to this list? I would like to come by and drop off
some of the schwag I got from the LinuxWorld Expo.
We've been announcing them to the list and Ben's been maintaining the
calendar on the web site.
And, on the Ubuntu note. I have not played with it much, but I do know
that it uses Sudo instead of su and a root account. How hard is it to
set up a root account/su, and also install the server support software
(apache, mysql, python, php etc)?
It's easy enough to add a password to the root account and use it, but you
shouldn't need to.
You can use aptitude from the command line or synaptic from system->system
administration->synaptic. I'm presuming those titles as mine are in
German.
Adding packages in debian-based distros like debian and Ubuntu is easy.
I know I can figure it out for myself when I get it, but any advice to
reduce the learning curve will be appreciated. Though I may still be
tempted just to put Fedora 7 on it ;)
Play with Ubuntu and I think you'll be happy with it :).
If you do switch to another distro or re-install Ubuntu remember to keep
track of kernel version installed, drivers, used, etc. that might help you
get hardware working with the new install.
ciao,
der.hans
