How to setup LAMP in Ubuntu 7.04 fiesty fawn. (LAMP is Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP)
There are myriads of guides out there, but this one is mine.
As far as I know, which means not much at all, the Ubuntu way is rather easy. Everything you do is going to be GUI driven, and you don't have to know a lot to do a lot. But if there is some wrinkles, you are pretty much screwed. And then you really have to know what you are doing.
System / Administration / Synaptic Package Manager
You will be prompted to Enter your password to perform administrative tasks
From Synaptic Package Manager, Edit/Mark Packages by Task...
A dialogue window asks Which tasks should be performed by your computer?
Mark LAMP server and follow the onscreen instructions.
And you are done.

LAMP has become a de facto development standard. With Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP, are you going to experiment with or do some serious Web development or applications? I admire your computer skills so much.
ReplyDeleteLately I've become obssessed with free and open source software. I've read that some European and Indian government departments, e.g. the French Police and the Indian Supreme Court, and the Massacusetts State government as well as Singapore Airlines (using StarOffice, which is not free) have migrated to the OpenDocument Format. They can exchange documents and other stuff freely with users of other office suites. I wonder why other governments and big companies still want to spend large sums of money on proprietary office productivity suites.
The truth of the matter is really I don't know enough to run anything serious. Anyway, it's just for fun.
ReplyDeleteI think that unlike me, someone with your background is able to learn some of those without a lot of difficulty. The other constraint would be free time, of course.
ReplyDeleteMan, did you try my Nothing link on the demented list, i am going to turn it off soon.
ReplyDeleteI am telling you someone like me have been encountering quite a lot of difficulties ....And that's not even funny. You know I started this years and years ago. What can I tell you? I am not THE guy you know. Just hard work (sometimes) and stupidity only get me this far. Again it's embarrassing.
man i have to turn off this sucker now....
ReplyDeleteYes, I did and I saw a pyseudo Nikon D3 sample - which appeared to my naked eyes as good as the real thing.
ReplyDeleteI see. I completely and ultimately understand now. You know what that tells me? I must never toy with the idea that I should do some of the things that you did. It must take a pro or a very talented programmer to make any contribution to the free and open source movement.
I did try to post some of the official Nikon D3 samples there, but they just crashed my server so instead I posted something else.
ReplyDeleteYou do whatever turns you on. Some people just take pride in doing what they are not really good at. Don't censor yourself.
IBM just voted to support the OpenOffice or StarOffice document standard and going to give out Office for free.
I read about that on Monday and I think it's a good thing that more people know about OpenOffice.org and opt for it. In fact, OpenOffice works pretty much the same way and as well as MS Office. There shouldn't be much of a problem when a MS Office user switches to OpenOffice.
ReplyDeleteIf I have it my way, no office workers should use any office productivity software. most people are too dumb to use Word, Excel, Access and Powerpoint to begin with so why don't we just set them free? Plenty of time are wasted on how do I merge the cells, or how do I get a different footer on page 3 or crap like that on to play Powerpoint slides....
ReplyDeletePeople are just freaking wasting their time learning office software when all they need is to type a memo, do additions and subtractions .... But with Excel and Access, oh no, let's analyze the data this way and that way, that's do a pivot table like this and that, holy crap it's insane.
You may be right if we're talking about our generation or the older generations. But for younger generations, I think they're more used to fiddling with computers. I may be wrong, but I see that my kids are using PowerPoint and Impress rather smoothly. Perhaps they learn it at school, I don't know.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I've got no hands-on experience with anything other than MS Word in the workplace so your observations of people using these office productivity software carry more weight. In my experience, some older colleagues, i.e. those in their 50's, are absolutely helpless with computers. All they need is pen and paper, and as you said, a typewriter, instead of MS Word.
Needless to say, in my opinion, the greatest advantage of using a PC as a wordprocessor is the ease of correcting mistakes and moving things around in the document. I think I like the computer more than the typewriter.
