Yeah, I'm getting the impression that perhaps Linux might not be the best choice.
Basically I just want it for goofing around, nothing serious. I'd like too upload some pictures every thirty seconds or so and have them displayed on a web page. Its just for fun so I'm not sure I want to jump through all the hoops necessary to set it up with linux.
I was hoping there was a linux solution that I could set and forget.
Thanks.
Hello Team,
I thought I would offer my 2 cents. Here are the problems I've had working with Linux on various occasions;
1. Configuring Bind - Why isn't this simple? Seems like I have to fight with this every time.
2. Configuring Acces by other systems - Samba works ok, could be better, but there needs to be a better way to allow Macs to log on.
3. Linux needs to be more "forgiving". In many cases a mistake means starting from scratch rather than just correcting the error.
4. Installing programs can be easy, or a nightmare. More standarization is needed here especially with regard to dependancies.

The point was to use an older computer and not use my G5 or any of my other Macs on a webcam. That seems like a waste somehow. But thanks anyway.
