[EUG-LUG:3203] Old Hardware Clusterexpletive

2001-10-13 Thread larry a price
I'm faced with a problem that I'm sure some geeks would love to have, or rather, I've come to the conclusion that no one else is dealing with it and that if it's going to be dealt with, I've got to do it. Those of you who came to the meetings at efn this summer may remember catching a glimpse of

There's a story in the latest Linux Journal (Nov 2001) about how Bike Friday of Eugene, OR, is migrating to Linux/PostgreSQL away from MS Access for their database. The title from the website: Moving to PostgreSQL's Object-Relational DBMS by Chris Volpe Cleaning house--moving to PostgreSQL one

I imagine that the right stratagy could turn Eugene, already known for lots of alternative views and ideas, into an 'Open Source' town... It's small enough and there are enough of us to make a difference... Then again, maybe I just need coffee... TimH On Saturday 13 October 2001 09:34 am,
