And then, I download Rebol View 2.7.6 for Fedora (http://www.rebol.com/downloads/v276/rebview-fedx86.tar.gz) 
and it run perfect in a Kubuntu 8.10 CD-Live, better than Rebol View 
2.7.6 for Libc6, Debian (http://www.rebol.com/downloads/v276/rebview-linx86.tar.gz),for 
the last you need to install libstdc++5 and gcc-3.3-base.

any thing that does not use KDE 4

Manu, there's no difference in "porting", it's just that when you 
compile it you may have different versions of libraries or header 
files.

RedHat for me

That´s right. The REBOL builds on Fedora don´ t run on older Linuxes; 
for example Wolvix, which probably means all Linuxes based on Slackware 
11

It seems to me that you have never heard/seen or tried Puppylinux, 
that's why you love Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora so much, I guess :-) If 
you try it, you would probably forget all those heavy distros. I 
run  R3 ver.2.100.33.4.2 (cli only) without problem on Puppylinux 
(www.puppylinux.com). As Puppy linux is mainly based on Slackware, 
I suppose it would run there nice as well. Now we are waiting for 
GUI :-)

(Kaj, I didn't mean you personally :-)

I'm a big fan of puppy too! That's my main prob with most linux...bloat. 
Is not bloat the reason we are trying to get away from windows?

Hey, some of us started on Ubuntu.  If I'm free on Spring Break I'm 
considering trying out other distros, but for now...

Hey Alexander :-)

Since Debian 5 is out. Is there a simple upgrade path from 4 to 5? 
I know about "apt-get upgrade" but does this  work without any hassels?

apt-get dist-upgrade

It´s always said to work without any hassels, but it´ s never done 
so for me

Admittedly that was on several Debian derivatives, not on Debian 
proper, but I have my doubts

Well, I run a xen DomU but not on a LVM setup. So a backup is not 
that simple as doing a snapshot.

I will wait, no need to update at the moment.

Any reason why this one-liner will not work on my linux box:

s: open tcp://:13 forever [close insert first s to-idate now]

Gettting an Access Error: Error opening socket listening port

using latest ubuntu

or is there a daytime server for ubuntu...I searched google but no 
luck.

I am having some issues running 276 rebview on the fractured Xandros 
that comes on an Asus Eee Netbook ... anyone else trying Rebol on 
an Eee (mine is just a linux Atom 900A)

I have put eeeBuntu on a LiveUSB (the base version was only about 
600 Mb ISO ) and may install that as my debian

There is also an eeeDora (Fedora) and an alternate debian (Easy Peasy 
aka Ubuntu-eee )

You are trying to listen on this port = running Time service from 
Rebol.

you should use something like open tcp://localhost:13

same access error

Have you checked no one else is using this port already?

netstat -tna

also try  iptables -L   if the port is not blocked

iptaables -L...
I do not see any mention of any blocked ports...

To use a port under 1024 in linux you have to be root

I'm trying to get the daytimer from xinetd running...

Not sure how . I see the daytime config file and turned of disabled 
and restarted xinetd but still can't readh it.

root!!! Good point...

I did notice something strange, though - enough failed attempts at 
opening a listening port, and rebol can't open any more.  Have to 
start a clean session

You are the man...Izkata

Got it up and running

I hate root

RobertS, I think most of us with the eee just reformat them and install 
windows xp

Graham, I'm assuming then that there are no driver issues when you 
do this?

Just download the drivers first

RobertS, I know two people using REBOL on Eee with Linux. What are 
your issues?

Graham, funny, I did the opposite, bought an eee Box, reformatted 
and installed Linux...

:-)

Gabriele, that's odd ... the linux versions are cheaper!  And i have 
quite a few spare XP licenses ...

It depends on which country you live in. Installing XP on it is not 
a simple task though - you need to PXE boot your installer.

The XP installer often has problems with USB-connected drives, in 
my experience. It's simpler to clean up the OEM XP install.

Booted fine with my USB DVD writer

Cool.

I recommend awxLink if you want to use it with XP - it's a lot easier 
than trying to get software to install on D itself.

G: there was no Linux version of the Box (notice, not eee PC, eee 
Box).
