Re: [qmailtoaster] Installation on Ubuntu

[Gabriel Lai]

Hi all,

The reason for me to choose Ubuntu instead of FC or CentOS is due to the 
hardware portion. I'm installing a RocketRaid 1520 Sata Raid Card, and the 
driver for FC and CentOS is making me frust, therefore Ubuntu came to my mind.

But, glad to say that I manage to install the driver this few days, and FC6 was 
able to installed into the Sata Hard Disk.

I love FC and CentOS, so, will be sticking with FC n CentOS too.. :)

It'd be great if QT ran on an Ubuntu (or debian) server, but that hasn't
been done yet, and to be honest, it's a fairly low priority at this point.
Having to support a non-rpm based distro would simply tax the developers too
much, and functional enhancements would suffer. That's not to say it
couldn't be done though. I'd personally like to see this happen too. If
someone were to "just do it", I think the contribution would be welcomed. It
would need to be done in an automated fashion though, using tools that would
convert rpms to debs automatically. Such tools do exist, it's just that no
one (TTBOMK) has applied them yet.

In the meantime, I find it hard to believe that FC won't work on your
machine if Ubuntu would. What's the problem with it?

The best way would be to get toaster in an apt repository and apt-get it. 
But I've never built debian packages (yes debian is a package based system 
too)


To get you started on debian:
Since toaster is .rpm instead of a .deb you can use a program like alien 
(apt-get install alien) and unpack the files that way (alien -i 
toaster-filename.rpm).  I've done some of the rpm's like that to "tinker" 
with them on a debian system, but I've not actually run them on a live 
toaster w/ debian operating system.

I attempted it once.  Frankly it is more trouble than it is worth.

So far my best results are with FC6.  That is probably because I work
with it the most.

don't they all use the same kernel drivers? if your machine is new, fedora6
should be able to handle it, or compile your own kernel from vanilla.
