Re: Full screen?

[David McGuigan]

Well what's weirder ( sillier ) is that entire operating systems don't. And
by entire operating systems I mean Mac OS X. There's no fullscreen support
for any of the browsers. On most Windows browsers the user can actually
activate fullscreen mode independent of the web site they're on manually.

Re: CFC and jQuery

[Mark Mandel]

Just to give you another way of looking at it.

JSON is just a string format, much like WDDX is (although a lot less
verbose).  Without parsing, it's still just a string.

The manual way of converting JSON to a JS data struct is by calling eval()
on it - like so:

var data = eval(myJSONString);

And you are good to go.

RE: CFC and jQuery

[Josh Nathanson]

It looks like you're getting a string back and it never becomes a javascript
object.

If you put dataType:'json' in your ajax params, I believe it will
automatically eval the response for you, which turns the json string
response into a javascript object.  You should see this in Firebug as a
clickable green link;  when you click it, it should show you the property
values.  If it is not clickable, then you have a string rather than an
object.

This is independent of passing returnformat=json to your cfc.  That creates
a json string which gets passed back to the client.  However you must do
something in javascript to turn the string into an object;  either eval'ing
it manually, or use dataType: 'json' which will do it for you.

Josh,

1. I already am getting the results back in JSON format using the
returnformat=json parameter.  I tried $.getJSON without much success (If you
know of a good CFC example using $.getJSON, I'd be happy to review it).  I
cannot even get results back using it, where as with the $.ajax I get
results, I just can't seem to do much with them but print the whole json
object(i.e. document.write) to a page or display the results in an alert
box.

2.  I am Firebug and I did verify that DATA is a valid parameter.  Basically
I am returning a db table and putting in JSON format.  The code I have
returns the following:

{"ROWCOUNT":20,"COLUMNS":["SAVEDVALUE"],"DATA":{"SAVEDVALUE":["blah,blah,bla
h"]}} 

But when I try and access for instance resp.ROWCOUNT, it's undefined.  So
basically, I want to know how I can actually get to the values I can only
seem to read.

Thanks,

James

Dave,

To answer your questions:

1.  I thought jQuery.trim(response) = $.trim(response).  If not, pls let me 
know.
2.  I am using adobe/CF8 with cfeclipse.  The data is returning from the CFC 
just fine.  if use either document.write or an alert the text displays in JSON 
format as expected.  However, if I try and call something inside of the code it 
comes back undefined.  
3.  datastring is a variable that hold the parameters that are sent back to CFC 
in this case the datasource and the id values (which is why I did not add them 
to the example code :-)). 

Thanks,

JW

Why not just get another computer to run it on? That way, you keep
everything just as is and have another machine with Ubuntu that
you can hammer on. A used one or one of the cheap systems would
probably be fine. I don't know the minimum configuration for that
system. Good luck, Roger

RE: ajaxCFC Access Denied

[brad]

Wow, I'm not sure where to start. 

I guess I'll start by saying the whole "cf.mapping.to.ajax" string is
NOT what you should actually be typing into your code unless you have an
"ajax" folder in a "to" folder in a "mapping" folder in a "cf" folder in
your webroot.  (not likely)

When the AjaxCFC documentation said that, they intended for you to
replace the text "cf.mapping.to.ajax" with the actual honest-go-goodness
path on your specific server.  The path to a CFC is simply a period
delimited list of directories starting in your web root, a mapping, or a
custom tag path.  

If the ajax.cfc file is in the same directory as the CFC's that are
extending it, then you don't need the dot delimited path.  If the
ajax.cfc file is anywhere else, you need to create the period delimited
path to the file based on WHERE IT IS ON YOUR SERVER.  From your posts,
I'm not sure where you have the ajax.cfc file, but if it was off the web
root in a folder called geeILikeIceCream then you would do this in your
webservice:



As far as your permission denied error, I don't think that has anything
to do with your cfm files, what your objects do, the flow of your
application, or the weather outside.  Like I said in my initial reply,
you need to do two things:

1) Confirm the windows user your ColdFusion service is running as
2) Grant Read rights for that user to the web-inf directory that was
referenced by the error message.

Until you do that, it is mostly a waste of time to talk about how the
app works.  If you are saying that some of your ajax calls work, but
others produce that permission error, then I don't know what to tell you
without knowing more information.  

If you can't create an instance of your component and call a method with
cfinvoke (which is what AjaxCFC does) without getting that permissions
denied on component.cfc then you definitely need to fix permissions.

I have a suspicion that there are some other errors at play, but we will
need more info than knowing that your server "barked" at you to help. 
Have you looked into AjaxCFC's logging feature to catch what errors are
happening on the server side.  Also, use Fiddler or FireBug to get the
actual HTTP request of your Ajax calls and run them by themselves in a
new browser window.  If a bunch of Javasciprt is output it is probably
working, otherwise you should see the error.

Good Look.

~Brad

Yup, once I worked out the LDAP problem and could think about this issue 
again, that workaround occurred to us as well.  It was fairly easy.  
Encrypted the desired file on a handy windows server and just FTP it to 
the external Unix server and it was good to go.

Thanks

It was a developer problem.  Once we started systematically cataloging 
the users that could not access the applications, we noticed that they 
where all part of a specific node of our Active Directory.  Once we 
identified this and started seeing why members of this node where 
excluded -- I noticed that the 'start' parameter of the LDAP tag was set 
to start at a node that would exclude the group of interest.  I fixed 
the start parameter to start much higher in our LDAP tree and all was well.

Thanks for the suggestions folks.

Ian

Re: Ubuntu - how WinXP compatible?

[Peter Boughton]

Another thought on the VM front - rather than running Windows in a Ubuntu VM, 
maybe start with running Ubuntu in a Windows VM - so you've got everything else 
familiar, and you can play with Ubuntu more leisurely.

Of course, that also makes it easier to ignore/forget, since you're less 
immersed, but after a while you should hopefully be comfortable enough to 
switch more fully.

depends on what you have in cfc as well, are you seeing the response in firebug?

shouldn't this:
 var resp = jQuery.trim(response); 

be this:
 var resp = $.trim(response); 

are you on adobe or railo?

Re: ajaxCFC Access Denied

[David Torres]

OK, something weird is happing here. I did not reply to your question earlier 
because things seemed to start working. I made some changes to some of my logic 
in one my CFC and CFC file, and now that page is giving me the same error again.

To answer your questions:
Are you using shared hosting? Yes
A VPS?  No
Do you have access to the CF administrator web interface? Yes
Are you still getting your "Access denied…”? Yes
Do you have a folder called "components" in your web root? Yes

Here is the summary of the scenario:
There is a page called “/admin/permmanage/list.cfm” that list users.
Some code from this page:






….more code….

This page is creating the CFC object and grabs the component to return the 
result that fills the page.

You select one or many users, and after you click “Manage Permissions” it 
take you to a page called “/admin/permmanage/ManagePerm.cfm”
Some code from this page:


















 
  
 
   



function setPerm(val,pos)   {   
// send data to CF
var sUserID=getCookie('userIDs');
if (val == '') val='0'; 
DWRUtil.useLoadingMessage();
DWREngine._execute('/components/permissions.cfc', null, 'setPermUser', 
sUserID, pos, val, results); 
}

// call back function
function results (r) {
var loadingMessage = 'Permission updated!';
$('divMessage').innerHTML = loadingMessage;
}

   
….some html code here  


   class="odd">
   


Select
selected>None

I know is a mess displaying code this way, that’s why I didn’t want to put 
code here yet. 

Anyway, as I was saying once that you select the user it will take to the page 
“ManagePerm.cfm”. On this page you will see all the permissions available. 
Each row has a drop-down with the values “select, none, view, and full” On 
the onChange event of the drop-down and event is fired, “setPerm”. This 
function makes an ajax call, that will send the value, the id, and the position 
of the permission to be updated on the server. There is when I get that error. 
Like I said, earlier this morning I modified the CFC and move the ajax.cfc to 
the root and it started working. The authors of AjaxCFC say the following about 
extending the ajax.cfc:

Extending ajax.cfc
To create ajax listeners you will need to extend ajax.cfc.
For example:


 


If you decide to store ajax.cfc in a different folder than your components, you 
will need to extend it with a mapping:


 


Note also that your methods do not need to have remote access, making them more 
secure.

Yesterday I moved Ajax.cfc to the “components” folder and still was working 
on my machine. Then I pushed the changes to production and I had that error. 
Today I decided to move the Ajax.cfc back to the root, and I tried to put 
something similar as the documentation for my components 
extends="cf.mapping.to.ajax", but it started barking at me for that. I tried to 
research online this extends="cf.mapping.to.ajax" deal, and I couldn’t get 
any thing.

In conclusion: 
I believe is nothing wrong with my CFCs, their functions are returning their 
data back. Only when I make an ajax call is when I get the message. Now this is 
more weird, I have another page, (by the way my index.cfm page displays some 
tabs, and when you click one of the tabs, it access another page, but 
everything is just there) another tab (page) that creates three levels, like 
parent, child, and grandchild, it is making ajax calls, and it is working in 
some portion right. 

I have several actions that happen here, actions such us “create a new 
parent”, “remove” a parent or child, “attach” a link or file, and 
“create” a child or grandchild.

Well, only the “create a new parent”, “remove”, and “create” a 
child or grandchild are working. These all are making an ajax call. The others 
are not working for some reason. I am still taking the bugs from the production 
version.

I know there is a lot, but this is what is happening.

CFC and jQuery

[James White]

I am trying to call a query from a CFC using jQuery with the following code:

$(document).ready(
 function () {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "SpellChecker.cfc?method=getTextMemoFields&returnformat=json
&queryformat=column",
data: datastring,
success: 
function(response) {
var resp = jQuery.trim(response);
alert(resp);
}
});

});

When I look at the data inside an alert it looks exactly like it should.  
However, when I try to get to the values inside of it (e.g. resp.DATA) it is 
always undefined. Do I need to perform an extra step?  I appreciate any advice 
I can get on this.

Thanks,

JW

Re: URL Rewriting

[Ryan Letulle]

This is what I'm gonna do:

1.  Create Virtual Directories in IIS: (ie /public/about will be /about)

2.  Incoming links such as http://www.mydomain.com/public/about will be
redirected to  http://www.mydomain.com/about

as such with IIRF


RedirectRule  ^/public/about /about   [R=301]



Am I missing anything that anyone can see?

Eventually Google should start pointing to the virtual directories and I
won't lose anything now or then.

RE: Strange CFLdap Active Directory issue

[Dawson, Michael]

First, make sure nested groups are not the issue.  AD's "memberOf"
attribute returns only the first level of group membership.  Ensure that
the user is directly assigned to the correct group, not in a group
within the correct group.

Are these accounts created with the same process and/or user
administrator?  Look for differences there, as well.  Make sure everyone
creates user accounts, and assigns group membership, using the same
process that is known to work.

Thanks,
Mike

Subject: Strange CFLdap Active Directory issue


We have a intermittent strange issue using cfldap to access user's
active directory records.  We use this on web resources secured with
Windows Integrated Security in IIS.  The ColdFusion code then uses the
cgi.auth_user value to read the users ldap record and parses out the
groups of which the user is a member.  This information is then used to
authorize certain users to access certain sections of our intranet site.

This all works as expected with the majority of the users.  The trouble
is that for four users, they are denied access to content, even though
everything we can look at says they are members of the proper group.

Can anybody provide suggestions on what places we should investigate
this issue?  What could be different about these users that prevent them
from accessing resources when their neighbors and co-works can.  Even in
a couple of cases, a separate, new active directory account for the same
user can access the content while what seems to be an identical account
can not.

TIA
Ian

Well, I wouldn't want "/pages" in the path either, since it doesn't
add any meaningful value. Here's how I like my URLs:

http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI

That said, if their current pages rank highly with "/pages" in the
URL, they will be throwing that away (at least temporarily) if they
discard those URLs in favor of, well, anything else.

And as far as SEO goes, it doesn't make any difference. But nowadays,

getTranslation and varName need to be varred like so at the top of the

If all your pages are in fact in that one folder, you can just
configure IIS to use that as the root folder. If you then want to
serve other files, like images, from a parallel folder, just create a
virtual directory pointing to that folder. There's no need to do URL
rewriting for this.

Are other members of the proper group able to access the content? That
is, is it a user problem or a group problem?

Can you monitor the LDAP traffic and see what's going on?

Application Scope Problem

[Paul Alkema]

Hey guys,

The company I work for has a ColdFusion function that's being stored in the
application scope.

 

This function is used to pull translated text which changes based off of the
users current country that they selected. An issue we've been having however
is that on occasions we will run into instances where the translator
function will output the wrong string. For instance I've seen instances
where pages got all messed up because we had some alt text that was being
translated using this component and instead it outputted whole paragraphs
from some other random location on the site.

 

This only occurs maybe, once a month. Usually someone will call my
department and complain because text is inaccurate, I ask them to reload the
page and it goes away.

 

Do you think this could have anything to do with the fact that this function
is being stored in the application scope?

 

 

Code Example







 



















SELECT * FROM translations 

WHERE lang = 

AND placeholder = 











SELECT * FROM translations 

WHERE lang = 'EN'

AND placeholder = 

















", arguments[varName])>













 





#application.translator.lookup(placeholder="testtext.69EE0E03",language=requ
est.current_lang)#

Can you just do the encoding on another server (or your workstation)
and copy the files to the Solaris server? I know that's a pretty lame
workaround, but I think it should work fine.

hi

i have been using the following code to analyse sessions:

var oSession = createObject("java","coldfusion.runtime.SessionTracker");
var mySessions= oSession.getSessionCollection(arguments.appName);

i have noticed that sometimes a session has multiple instances. for
example if i log in to our application (which creates a ), then dump out
the mySessions variable from above it sometimes has several structure
elements:

appname_encryptedCode1
appname_encryptedCode2
etc...

... and all instances have the same contents. 

they also do not get cleared when i use the structclear(session)
function... i am using j2ee session variables 

this only happens sometimes and i cannot replicate it purposely

does anyone have any ideas?

We have a intermittent strange issue using cfldap to access user's 
active directory records.  We use this on web resources secured with 
Windows Integrated Security in IIS.  The ColdFusion code then uses the 
cgi.auth_user value to read the users ldap record and parses out the 
groups of which the user is a member.  This information is then used to 
authorize certain users to access certain sections of our intranet site.

This all works as expected with the majority of the users.  The trouble 
is that for four users, they are denied access to content, even though 
everything we can look at says they are members of the proper group.

Can anybody provide suggestions on what places we should investigate 
this issue?  What could be different about these users that prevent them 
from accessing resources when their neighbors and co-works can.  Even in 
a couple of cases, a separate, new active directory account for the same 
user can access the content while what seems to be an identical account 
can not.

TIA
Ian

Re: Ubuntu - how WinXP compatible?

[Gerald Guido]

Mike,
As you assumed moving to another OS is not a trivial matter. I would take
Peter's and Bryan's advice and take the VM approach to get your "set up"
where you want it. Though they offer the lowest barrior to entry, I found
live CD's to be a bit sluggish for my tastes.You can get a lot of
preconfigured VM's on the internets. I would take a look at the offerings at
the offerings at VMware's Virtual Appliance Marketplace
http://www.vmware.com/appliances/

There are all sorts of tasty nuggets over there. You can also get a lot of
preconfiged images for VirtualBox.

The great thing about VM's is that you can make a copy of the VM (or take a
snap shot) when you get it where you want it. Then you can experiment all
you like while getting your "set up" down pat and if you hose your box you
can roll back to your back up image (experience talking here ;o) ). That
sure beats a total reinstall.

Have fun.

G!

Re: Reading Excel Files with Coldfusion

[Richard White]

Chad, have you looked into JExcelAPI (http://jexcelapi.sourceforge.net/), it is 
fantastic at reading and writing Excel documents. 

in fact we moved to JExcelAPI because we had so many problems with reading and 
writing data in Excel. sandra was right that it is due to how excel saves the 
data in the background. you have encountered one problem with how the data is 
stored but there is also many more problems that arise due to this issue. 

we have found JExcelAPI very easy to use, supports all our Excel activities and 
has good documentation

multiple session instances

[Richard White]

hi

i have been using the following code to analyse sessions:

var oSession = createObject("java","coldfusion.runtime.SessionTracker");
var mySessions= oSession.getSessionCollection(arguments.appName);

i have noticed that sometimes a session has multiple instances. for example if 
i log in to our application (which creates a ), then dump out the mySessions 
variable from above it sometimes has several structure elements:

appname_encryptedCode1
appname_encryptedCode2
etc...

... and all instances have the same contents. 

they also do not get cleared when i use the structclear(session) function... i 
am using j2ee session variables 

this only happens sometimes and i cannot replicate it purposely

does anyone have any ideas?

thanks

Re: Ubuntu - how WinXP compatible?

[Bryan Stevenson]

Hey Mike,

Ubuntu can do it all, but it may take some time to find the
replacements.

Without getting into all the detailsconsider these options:

1) dual boot Windows and Ubuntuthis is how I started my Linux
adventure

2) Try the live CDcan test things out without effecting your system

3) Virtualization.using VirtualBox (now owned by Sun) for your
Windows needs

I made the switch over a year ago and can't say enough good things.
There are issues as there are in Windows, but solving them is easier and
the community is WAY more helpful.

Office replacements (Open Office) and e-mail replacements (Thunderbird
replaces Outlook Express and Evolution is a full-blown Outlook
replacement) work very well.  I've only seen one issue with an Open
Office doc displaying oddly in MS Word, but tracking changes across Open
Office and MS Word users has worked well.

Ubuntu is also setup to behave like Windows in many wayslike all
your usual shortcut keys work (CTRL+C for copy and so on).

Anywaysthere's some options...hope it works out for you

Cheers

I do not use dynamic odbc excel connections much.  But one thing that jumps out 
at me is you are closing the resultset, but not the connection object.  Always 
close both, and use error handling to make sure the objects are properly closed 
in the event of an error.

But you might also consider using a fixed datasource instead. IIRC, you can 
read excel files dynamically using a single MS Access or Excel/odbc datasource.

RE: ajaxCFC Access Denied

[brad]

In order to be invoked, your CFC's need to be in the same directory of
the calling page, or in a folder specified in ColdFusion Administrator
as a mapping, the web root, or a custom tag path.
(http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=buildingComponents_27.html
"Specifying the CFC location")

For instance, if you created a mapping in the Admin called
/hereBeDragons and it pointed to c:\someDirectory and in someDirectory
you had a file called Elliot.cfc then you could create an instance of
that CFC anywhere in your app as petesDragon =
createObject("component","hereBeDragons.Elliot")

You're skipping aroud a lot, so it's hard to help you.  Are you using
shared hosting?  A VPS?  Do you have access to the CF administrator web
interface?  Are you still getting your "Access
denied(java.io.filepermission
C:\coldfusion8\wwwroot\web-inf\cftags\componet.cfc read)" error??  Did
you copy that error message exactly, because the actual file name is
"component.cfc"?


The code you posted earlier looked like so:
createObject("component", "components.site_user")

Do you have a folder called "components" in your web root, or a folder
called "components" in one of your custom tag paths, or a ColdFusion
mapping called "components"?  That will be a good start.

Take things one step at a time and tell us what errors you are getting. 
If all of this code worked on your development environment, chances are
you just are missing some mapping on your production server.

URL Rewriting

[Ryan Letulle]

I saw the topic of url rewriting come up here recently which peeked my
interest so here I go with my first newb issue:
Installed IIRF on Win 2003 IIS 6 and have run a test to confirm it is
behaving nicely.

I have a site with all pages physically located inside a subfolder (ie
/pages) directly off the root.

I was asked to remove the "pages" folder from the location that shows in the
web browser (ie change http://www.mydomain.com/pages/events/ to
http://www.mydomain.com/events).

I just want to hide the "pages" folder from view.

Is this possible?

RE: Deploying to a server farm

[brad]

We do it pretty similar to you.  We are using ColdBox, so we just hit
the fwreinit URL with our reinit password to pick up the changes.  Of
course, if are a lot of changes, we schedule a release in off-hours and
lock down the site to provide a maintenance window.  But for small hot
fixes, we just reinit the framework and our users don't lose their
sessions or anything.

We usually set up DNS so we can hit out web servers individually as
www1.example.com, www2.example.com, www2.example.com for web1, web2 and
web3 respectively. 

In bouts of severe laziness we've been known to create a utility page
somewhere that cfhttp's to each reset URL at the click of a button and
reinits all the servers at once.

On the topic, if I ever need to bounce the actual CF service on a
windows box, I use a batch file and the SysInternals psservice utility:

psservice \\web3 restart "ColdFusion 8 Application Server"
pause

Re: Deploying to a server farm

[Shannon Peevey]

We used a shared SAN, so all instances of Coldfusion were looking at the
same code, and then had shell scripts that would ssh into the boxes and
restart the appropriate Coldfusion instances.

I have also seen instances in which code is mirrored on each box, using
rsync, or shell scripts to push the code out to the boxes.  The push scripts
would contain the restart commands, so that the server would be restarted
once the new code was in place.

Being that the https is required on every request, having this at the

redirect in a custom function, and call the function in the beginning of

re: Redirect in Application.cfc Pseudo Contructor Area: Bad Form?

[Jason Fisher]

Yes, on one of my shopping apps, I put the following right in my 
onRequestStart method:


   
   https://"; & cgi.server_name & cgi.path_info />
   
   
   
   

   


That just lets the CGI handle all the pathing etc.

Redirect in Application.cfc Pseudo Contructor Area: Bad Form?

[Dawson, Michael]

One of the first things I want to do, on each request, is to ensure that
each request/response is secured.  Therefore, if cgi.https is "off", I
will redirect the browser to the secured location.
 
My plan was to put this code in the pseudo-constructor area (not in any
particular function body):
 





 

https://#cgi.server_name##cgi.path_info##queryString#";
addtoken="no" statuscode="301">


The code works fine, but I'm wondering if it is the wrong place to put
this code.  Would it be more-semantic if it were located in the
onRequestStart function?
 
On this particular site, every page will need to be secured.

Re: ajaxCFC Access Denied

[David Torres]

I had created some new CFCs for this enhancement. Do you know if this new CFCs 
need to be some how register in order to work on the server? By the way this is 
not my production server. It is host by hostmysite.

Thanks,
David

Another excel file reading question

[Dan Baughman]

I'm using the following code to read an excel file.  But it only runs once
and I have to restart coldfusion before it will be successful again, its
clock word. the error message indicates system resource exceeded. Anyone
figured this out?

var c = "";
var stmnt = "";
var rs = "";
var sql = "Select * from [#sheetName#$]";
var myQuery = "";
arguments.filename = expandPath(arguments.filename);

if(len(trim(arguments.filename)) and
fileExists(arguments.filename)){


CreateObject("java","java.lang.Class").forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");

c =
CreateObject("java","java.sql.DriverManager").getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft
Excel Driver (*.xls)};DBQ=" & arguments.filename );
stmnt = c.createStatement();
rs = stmnt.executeQuery(sql);
myQuery =
CreateObject('java','coldfusion.sql.QueryTable').init(rs);
rs.close();
}
return myQuery;

RE: Reading Excel Files with Coldfusion

[Chad McCue]

How would you go about doing it if you don't have column names to test
if would be a date value.

The dates are counted from Excel's internally stored date of 1/1/1900.

I did it using the following information. Note I used Ben Nadel's
POIUtility.cfc instead of using the POI libraries directly

I am currently using the code below to read in an uploaded excel file.
 

CreateObject("java","java.io.FileInputStream").Init(
   
   CreateObject("java","java.io.File").Init(
 
"#trim(SrcDirectory.SrcF_Directory)#\#UploadedFilename#" 
)
   )
) />
 
 
Everything works good except that it is reading date values (7/7/1996)
as a numeric values and outputting some weird long number. How can I get
it to produce 7/71996 in the output instead of a numeric value.

Re: Ubuntu - how WinXP compatible?

Hi Mike,

This is off-topic for this mailing list.  You can contact me off-list if you
like.  I have run both, plus have some insight into the multimedia packages
on GNU/Linux.

thanks,

Re: Ubuntu - how WinXP compatible?

[Peter Boughton]

>Ubuntu?

You cannot run Windows binaries (.exe) on a non-Windows system (which includes 
Linux, MacOS, Solaris, etc)

You can get emulators (e.g. WINE) that allow you to *emulate* a Windows system, 
although with a limited (but growing) amount of applications that work.

A better choice these days is a virtual machine (e.g VirtualBox, VMWare, etc) 
that allows you to run actual Windows on virtual hardware - this is likely to 
cope with most things, (although I'm not sure how they cope with demanding 
things like games).

Of course, there will be Linux applications for most of what you want - whether 
you prefer, so it's worth giving them a try before immediately running an 
emulator/vm, in case you decide you prefer them.

However, if you're serious about this I think your best first step might be to 
look for some 'introduction to Linux' guides that explains the fundamental 
differences, and that will allow you to better evaluate it, without necessarily 
having your head stuck in 'Windows mode'.

Ubuntu - how WinXP compatible?

[Mike Kear]

I'm rebuilding a system and thought i might have a look at Ubuntu
instead of just reloading WinXPPro again  ..

I see in the Ubuntu site lots of talk about open source versions of
Office apps,  browsers etc  but no mention of compatibility (or
otherwise) with Windows apps.are all those other apps at all
compatible or do you need to find Linux/Ubuntu versions of everything?

I can see that there are office,  browser, media player equivalents
etc  but the kinds of apps i'm thinking about are sound apps (i run
and edit radio shows from this machine),  IDE things like Photoshop,
Dreamweaver,  Fireworks, Flash, Audition  and all those other little
apps that just seem to accumulate here and there.

Generally speaking,  do you have to locate equivalent Linux/Ubuntu
apps or do the existing WInXPPro versions generally work  under
Ubuntu?
