I'll be back in a few days to do a double act with ptreeves .

Sorry to disappoint everyone - no double act . . . here's my "blog":

- wasted about a week of "fiddling" time trying to get FC2 to recognise a prehistoric SCSI card (aha151) - in the end had to borrow something more modern.
- wasted some more time running out of space (only have 0.4, 2.0 and 2.4 GB disks - basically it's scrap hardware).
- had to learn about X-server 'coz I skrewed up over Tim Hall's*** installation instructions (my fault - logon and su AREN'T the same thing!)
- "fiddled" a 9.2 db creation script until it worked for 10g.
- netmgr & dbca ran "straight out of the box"

Actually I'm disappointed too - I haven't had half as much fun as ptreeves had What am I doing wrong?

Perhaps the only real disappointment was how much hard work the process was, if you don't have vast amounts of memory & disk. I'd installed Win2000 server and 8.1.7 on this machine in one evening (with time for dinner and playing with the cat) - couldn't do that with Fedora & 10g (even without the mistakes). Surprised how much resource Linux needs.

*** must add that, if followed to the letter, Tim's instructions work perfectly. Thanks Tim.

Why don't you buy one of these?

Then you will be able to run Oracle.

I AM running Oracle and on a "server" that cost me $0.00

RH9 comes with OpenOffice, a MS Office clone. In theory, you can import Word documents and work with them. I did my resume with it and it looks OK. It might be OK for something like a newsletter, but you'd have to futz with it.

I've been using OpenOffice exclusively for over a year, swapping documents (.doc/.xls/ .ppt) with work collegues seamlessly.

It might even be better for a news letter because you can export your document in Acrobat format -- it's a great feature.
