Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm going to convert one of my boxen to Linux. What distro is the best if I'm planning on using it for a file/web/app/DB server?

I've only really used Red Hat, and I'm out of touch with anything that's happened in the marketplace in the last four or so years.

Are you sure you need to install the earlier version to upgrade? Different software companies work upgrades in different ways. Sometimes the upgrade is the full version; it's enough to have the serial number for the earlier version in order to qualify for upgrade pricing. Other times, when installing the upgrade, you're prompted to insert the CD for the old version. Maybe try contacting Quark to ask?

Thanks

I will try that.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

ita, we're running SuSiE on the file server, but I'm not sure exactly why that was the choice.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

We're happy running FC3, but it was the choice because we're too lazy to play comparison-shop-the-distros.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My iPod stopped working again. That is, it worked fine except when I connected it to the Cube, when it locked up, along with iTunes and Finder. So I booted the iPod (by itself, not connected to a computer) into diagnostic mode and ran a disk scan. Then I reconnected the iPod to the Cube without using the dock (as I read somewhere to not use the dock when dealing with this problem). Then it worked again, except that by failing to follow the scientific method I don't know which of the two things I did got it working again.

Then my Cube died again. This time it turned out the power cord had fallen out of the power supply.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

My cube's power supply had the same problem.

All is well that ends in pizza.

It's a Flowpoint 2210.

No worky, sorry.

BTW, thanks anyway, Tommyrot.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Mac question. We just got a new G5, running OS X 10.3.8. When I tried to install PageMaker 6.5, I got the following message:

No Classic system folder

You do not have a version of Mac OS 9 installed that supports Classic. Install Mac OS 9.1 or later.

WTF? Our old G4 came with OS X installed, and it ran Classic apps right out of the box. Do I have to install OS 9 on top of OS X? And if so, where do I get OS 9?

Ah, nebbermind. I found it.

Stoopid hiding it on the Additional Software disk.

The latest version of InDesign has a PageMaker compatability mode, if you want to, you know, upgrade to 1990s software technology.
