| Hello, WebWorkers.
Red Hat Linux 7.2 and 7.3 have now been verified as friendly to WebWork
on my PC. 95% of the work was done by installing "everything" when
bringing up Linux. This can be done is under two hours.
The PC is an IBM PC 300PL: 265K memory: 6GB disk: Speed 400MHz.
Once Linux was installed, it only took about 25 minutes to run a
modified version of Bill Ziemer's script (Thanks, Bill!) to install the
WebWork system files. I only changed "Makefile"--all other files were
used as is.
Building test courses was also easy. I did my "Professor" work on my
Windows system using Mozilla for my browser. Early on I was writing
perl trace programs to help figure out why my installation was failing.
The two computers sitting side-by-side worked very well together.
I am very pleased with Red Hat, particularly with the ease of
connecting my Linux system to my Windows 2000 system. The Linux system
shares the modem and printer on my Windows system. Also, the Windows
system is used to download files. I can easily copy those files to
Linux via the use of Samba.
Anyone who is interested in bringing up Red Hat Linux 7.2 or 7.3 is welcome to contact me for tips.
Is anyone out there already using Red Hat Linux? I would like to build
a list of those who are--we can share experiences and solve problems
together. Please let me know who you are.
