Hi, I'm tyring to setup Euphoria for cgi with addr.com, they use FreeBSD. I have the files uploaded to cgi-bin and am able to telnet in, but how do I change the directory to cgi-binand change the attributes to make them runnable? Thanks, Ken

Check out the "chmod" command. chmod myfile.exu 755 http://www.computerhope.com/unix/uchmod.htm -=ck "Programming in a state of Euphoria." http://www.cklester.com/euphoria/

Not a Linux user, eh? cd cgi-bin chmod +x exu Make sure you've got the uncompressed executables, since the versions of exu compressed with UPX have to decompress to /tmp or /var/tmp which you may not have access to. ~Greg

I'm using the exu from http://www.rapideuphoria.com/25/eubsd25.zip Since it is 492kb I'm assuming it is uncompressed. Ken

My friends and I have come up with two terms for Linux users: those who want to "get in and drive" and those who want to "get under the hood." If all you want to do is "get in and drive" then I suggest Ubuntu. If all you're concerned about is using Linux as an OS with having to compile anything, its great. However, setting up Euphoria is a hassle (environment variables don't work the same -- but I found a way around that). If you'd like to "get under the hood" or at least start to, I suggest something typical like Mandrake 10.0 or Fedora Core 5 (or whatever the latest versions of those are). If you're looking for the complete opposite of Ubuntu, look at Gentoo. On Gentoo, you have to compile *everything* from source, but its all packaged and dependancies are automatically handles (98% of the time). http://www.ubuntu.org/ http://www.fedoracore.org/ http://www.mandrakelinux.org/ http://www.gentoo.org/ > Thanks Greg.

The Linux executables come compressed or uncompressed.

The Linux executables come > compressed or uncompressed. I use Fedora Core 4. I think it is very easy to install and use. It works with all of my hardware so far. I haven't tried many of my USB devices though. But all internal hardware works great. I also use KDE. There are great apps such as x-chat, Kate (text editor which supports Euphoria syntax highlighting ), gFTP (sweet FTP client), Quanta Plus (html editor), The GIMP, Open Office, Mozilla, K3B (very nice CD/DVD burner), XMMS (winamp clone), etc. etc. And, if you want an excellent DVD player, you can download Xine. All of the major Linux distributions have come a long way since a few years ago, so you might like it enough to ditch Windows like i have. ~Ryan W.

Windows is many times better than it was eight years ago. The same is probably true with Linux and BSD. > I've been thinking in getting a second computer and give > Linux a second try. What distribution would you recomend? That is a difficult question to answer. There are over 400 Linux distributions to choose from. Take this small test to help determind which of them are right for you: http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/ Note: If you decide on Linspire please be sure to add a restricted user account and use the default root user account sparingly. Note: If you decide on Ubuntu, you might check out the Automatix script. While I havent tried it yet, it has greatly simplifed the already simple setup/configure process for many users. http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=138405 Regards, Vincent
