Re: [BLUG] Ubuntu Question

If there are some server-like features that you want during
installation on your desktop machine, like LVM partitioning, then you
should try the alternate CD. To get the alternate CD from ubuntu.com,
you have to check a box down below the "Start Download" button.

But Jeremy is right, if you install the desktop version, you could add
any server software you wanted to later.

Re: [BLUG] Ubuntu Question

Just install the desktop edition and you can add whatever you want afterwards.

Subject: [BLUG] Ubuntu Question

Hi Guys,

I have recently decided to switch from Red Hat to Ubuntu (or at least give
Ubuntu a trial run).  I seem to be having some installation problems though.
That is, I want both the desktop installed and the server.  However,
whenever I install the server edition, all I get is a CLI and when I try to
install the desktop, it wants to do an entire new installation.  The same
thing seems to happen if I try to do this in reverse.  I'm still wrestling
with the docs but I was wondering if anyone here on the list had a quick
solution to this?  Is there a way to have both the LAMP server and the
desktop installed or do I need to go back to Red Hat for this?

Thanks

Dan

[BLUG] Ubuntu Question

Hi Guys,

I have recently decided to switch from Red Hat to Ubuntu (or at least give
Ubuntu a trial run). I seem to be having some installation problems though.
That is, I want both the desktop installed and the server. However,
whenever I install the server edition, all I get is a CLI and when I try to
install the desktop, it wants to do an entire new installation. The same
thing seems to happen if I try to do this in reverse. I'm still wrestling
with the docs but I was wondering if anyone here on the list had a quick
solution to this? Is there a way to have both the LAMP server and the
desktop installed or do I need to go back to Red Hat for this?

Thanks

Dan

Re: [BLUG] BZFlag in 30 minutes

Well, the game went well. I made the mistake of non-commenting out
the -public option in the config from using it earlier in the week. So
we ended up immediately having about 20 different people in the game who
had just found the server on the public list of servers. I think only 3
or 4 of them were blug folks. I know Scott Blaydes, Chris Walker and I
were in there. If anyone else was in there, let me know.

I ended up turning off the public option and we played different maps
for a couple hours. BZFlag is actually pretty robust and has a lot of
options. I think its biggest fault is that it doesn't advance to the
next map automatically and everyone has to quit and rejoin the game.

Next week we'll play Unreal Tournament 2004 again and then the week
after that is World of Padman (http://www.worldofpadman.com/), which is
actually a free/open source multiplayer paintball game based on the
quake 3 engine.

Also, you'll see that Neverwinter Nights is coming up. I'm going to
find a module that we can play without requiring any of the expansion
packs. Could anyone who has NWN let me know so that I know how many
people to plan for?

Thanks,
Mark
