Until I fix that problem (i.e. get a new service provider), I won't have Linux. Plus, I'm a gamer, and Linux doesn't work so well with games designed for Windows. Dan

(btw, whoever deletes double posts can feel free to delete this one.) What double post?? I'm in hte process of ordering more memory for an old clunker - from close to 9 years ago. It's only got 48 megs, so I'm gonna up that to about 256. THAT should help the speed of the P2. Anyway, I may start out with Mandrake and see how well that goes. However, I'm sorta toying with SuSE. Just to see what I can do with it. You can never quit believiing in your dreams ... or yourself. ----- You GOTTA listen to Levi Kreis.

He is kind of a computer historian who loves to collect obscure and obsolete computers and make them useful again. He has over 100 so far--Sun machines, SGI boxes, you name it. If you ever need any advice I could hook you guys up.

Right now, I just need to do some reading to see if I can get mysql loaded on this linux box. If I can, then I'm writin' my comic book database. Grife ... I'm such a geek. I'm having too much fun with this. You can never quit believiing in your dreams ... or yourself. ----- You GOTTA listen to Levi Kreis.

After all, if there's something better (and easier) than MySQL, NOW would be the time to find out. (Still wish Informix had a free Linux version!!!!!!) Thanks!!!

He says they have good online documentation and that it should be a simple install needing only minor configuration. It's all Greek to me so I'm a probably a lousy interpreter, but if you need any help I can PM you his email address. As for adoption, I'm really not the maternal type. But if you can cook and clean we might be able to work something out.

Along with a low-carb version of twice baked potatoes (cauliflower boiled, seasoned, with added cheese stuffed in a bell pepper), scalloped (sp) corn, ham, and various other things. Along with lemon bread and fresh fruit for breakfast. (When she wasn't making hotcakes. ) And I'm glad to know he likes MySQL. That makes me feel a little better about attempting this little trial!!!!! THANKS!!!!! You can never quit believiing in your dreams ... or yourself. ----- You GOTTA listen to Levi Kreis.
