I have 3 machines here. The one (Compaq with Athlon 64 and obscure A8N-LA motherboard) that has my wife's and my EMAIL accounts has Linux Mint (I believe it's 11). It also has the printer attached to it. Mint 11 seems to be confused as to where it wants to take commands from. To shut down we have to go upper right rather than lower left.
Another one (HP Pavilion Slimline s7600n) had Ubuntu Studio on it, but it would drop back to a log in prompt without warning every 1/2 hour to 1 hour. So I put MEPIS 11 on it, and it seems to be very stable. I also like MEPIS. The 3rd PC is another Compaq, but with a Sempron. None of these would accept the latest version of LinuxCNC, which I desperately wanted because named subroutines could have text names. In my playing around with these I came across a setting in the BIOS that looked suspicious, so I flipped the switch, and behold! Ubuntu 10.04 with LinuxCNC installed and ran as it should! It didn't have anything to do with the usual dealbreakers, but I'd have to look it up to find out what it was I changed. Right now I have the MEPIS and Mint PCs on a 2 port USB KVM switch. *What you helped me with is* that the Mint PC appears to have a card reader that only supports SD cards, but not SDHC. I have a camera that has an 8 GIG SDHC card with the photos I need on it, so I had to copy them to the MEPIS machine. *Sftp took a little getting use to, very little, to know the difference between ls and lls, and as you say, it took care of the permissions nicely!* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
