  1. Linux beta version installation on IBM Challenges Microsoft with Free Office Suite · · Score: 1
    The installation in vnc and with xfce as window manager was not very smooth. There were no scripts created to call the installed applications under /opt/ibm/lotus/Symphony and the graphical installer refused to run in vnc (no display issues), but it has a '-console' switch. There are 3 .desktop files created by the installer under /usr/share/applications and with the help of them you can create scripts something like the following to start the programs:

    #!/bin/bash
    # start Symphony Documents Beta
    # taken from /usr/share/applications/Lotus Symphony Documents.desktop
    /opt/ibm/lotus/Symphony/framework/shared/eclipse/plugins/com.ibm.productivity.tools.standalone.addin_3.0.0.20070913-1045/apps/Lotus\ Symphony\ Documents "$@"

  9. AIX Gaming? on Unreal Tournament 2004 Demo Released · · Score: 1

    I remember, I think with aix 4.1.5 there came a doom port and with aix 4.2.x a platformer named abuse(?) in the welcome_arcade directory on the preinstalled IBM machines, it was nice for gaming in the server room but the internal speaker of the 7248 was quite loud when you started the game till you could turn down the volume.

  14. Re:The FreeBSD file says: on SCO Invokes DMCA, Names Headers, Novell Steps In · · Score: 1

    But the code from ipc.h (glibc-devel-2.2.4-32, rh7.1) also looks very different beside the copyright notice than FreeBSD (4.6 i have here on a free shell accout), so why should there be that copyright notice?
