Dear list,
I want to setup a server so remote users (ie brother in-law) can access
a box with Aussie IP address.
Currently foreign IPs can not assess eBay Australia he sells lots of
stuff through eBay.
So, I downloaded the 7.04 Ubuntu desktop image and burnt it to a CD.
Then I tried to install it on an old Compaq box but I don't have spare
mouse to use the desktop stuff.
Tried three old ones but no success.
After 30 mins of stuffing around I could not do anything without a mouse
so I decided
to download the 32M cd image of Debian and configured the box in 2 mins.
The download
of all the software will still take another 2 hours.
But I found in much easier to manually configure the box than use the
automatic stuff.
How many other people prefer the text setup rather than graphical system??
Am I dumb or what??
regards,
Richard Hayes
