I've learned more in the past couple of months than in the previous 5 |
| 26 |
years of using Linux. Part of that is because of my trials and |
| 27 |
tribulations of installing Gentoo Linux on my RS6000s. Since most IBM |
| 28 |
video cards kill the bootup, I had to learn a lot more on command line. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Now I'm at work using PuTTy on Windows XP to ssh to one of my PPC64's |
| 31 |
running Gentoo to telnet into a PPC64 running AIX. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I used svn to download the latest, made a tarball out of it and now I've |
| 34 |
started Firefox remotely and am about to use it to upload to my |
| 35 |
geocities webpage. Then I'll wget it from the AIX box. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I guess I should mention that we have Hummingbird here at work to |
| 38 |
connect to our own AIX Catia drafting server and that's what I'm using |
| 39 |
to view the firefox I'm running on the Gentoo Linux box at home. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Ironically, this is *easier* than just installing 1.2 that I can just |
| 42 |
wget. And my wife wonders why I spend so much time on the computers. :-) |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
My ultimate goal is to find some way, any way, to get OpenOffice |
| 45 |
installed on one of these, so I can get my company to use it for the |
| 46 |
engineers who only have an AIX computer. My department creates an Excel |
| 47 |
spreadsheet with all the Electrical Equipment we need a business jet and |
| 48 |
they have to use a hard copy to transfer that information to a 3D |
| 49 |
model. I suggested using OpenOffice so they could use the latest |
| 50 |
instead of using an outdated hard copy. Of course I suggested this |
| 51 |
pre-maturely since it's next to impossible to get past all the AIX bugs |
| 52 |
to install the thing. A VERY large compile that always fails after 9 hours. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
I guess I'm just a masichist. |
