PDC

[marcel]

I want to test the PDC feature of Amahi. So i enabled this function. Experiment with my notebook but its not working. WHY BECAUSE I HAVE A HOME PREMIUM EDITION OF WINDOWS VISTA AND DOMAINS ARE NOT SUPPORTED... DAMMM MICROSOFT.... sorry for the yelling. So i disabled PDC feature of Amahi and guess what my Amahi dashboard is gone. Reboot the server still no Amahi dashboard. Do you guys have a solution...

Marcel, this is in my opinion not a PDC related problem,
have you done anything else? disabled other options, clicked other links whatsoever?

Hmmmm, sorry Jan my mistake, had to restart my notebook and the dashboard is working again... had something to do with the domain settings on my notebook (internet was working). Still mad with Microsoft all the different versions.... home, premium business, ultimate sometimes i get really tired of Microsoft... Jan do you have a cheap windows 7 ultimate version for me or i install a Linux distro on my notebook. btw thanks for the quick reply.

hehe, windows sucks yes..
you know, i pay quite some money for windows because that i run a company, i cant use illegal windows keys
But im beginning my switch to linux.

for your notebook, i suggest look at sidux, its based on Debian sid, and as you all know ive been in love with Debian for quite some time.
I installed it on my netbook (Acer Aspire One) and so far its the only distro that runs perfect OOB

As for Windows 7,
You could look on marktplaats.nl for a license, but im not sure you want that.
Raises the question, what do you consider expensive?
for a tool you use most likely every day, i consider 100,- not expensive, i have shoes that cost more and i wear them only 3 times a year

I didn't meant illegal but you have sites like slim.nl were you can order a cheap license (you have to be student). I don't use illegal software and I buy most of my music. Used and new cd's.

I'll take look at sidux. Thanks for the info. I'am now using Linux Mint on my desktop. Still looking for they ultimate Linux Distro.

I'll find Microsoft is overpricing here software I'am curroius what google is going to do with Chrome-OS. I like Andriod on the mobile phones. Yeah for the moment i use Linux and Windows vista but one day i totally switch to Linux.

Jan do you have experience with openoffice? Can i use excel sheets with Openoffice? Hmmm, never tried. I only have Windows vista with office on my notebook for my work to do some administrative tasks.

Jan how match watts is your new server using? Atom based nice for home use!!!

Nono, i didnt meant to say you're using illegal software, im simply explaining why i pay so much money!

I found this little bugger yesterday on the forum for aspire one!
i think it rules allready, it works quick and looks sleek, especially the KDE version

I dont think microsoft is overpricing, especially not for the businessunit!

Open Office?
i think it is now fully compatible with excel sheets yes, but im not sure yet!
you can always try
I'm not sure how much watt my machine is using, i havent looked into it yet, but it only has a 120W power supply, so it cant be that bad

Intel Atom (especially the dual core ones) are quite ready for "soft" server usage, especially in home boxes.
I'm not sure i would want to run them in a company though

than we have different opinions.

Yeah i have to try that...

Has Linux Pdc? Is this is a samba thing? I really don't know how Linux works with networks. Hmmm have to google...

linux by default is NFS minded (Network File System) i believe.
Samba is basicly an "adition" to linux's networking capability, and makes linux able to live with windows file servers.
