-----Original Message----- From: GIIE [mailto:giie77@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 8:11 AM ... I want to install Alliance on a Linux server computer, however I dont know much about Linux. I would also want to connect other computers to my server so that they are networked. I would like to know a: is this possible - as in to install alliance on a linux server with various people accessing Alliance from their computers simultaneously. I mean will it run if accessed simulateneously. I would get an O'Reilly book on Linux Systems Administration to provide the basics for operations and installation. Linux, like all Unix systems is multi-user, multi-programming, which means any number of users can run any number of programs on the same system. If you NFS mount filesystems, then any NFS client can run any app exported from the server. You only need be concerned if you use the SAME username since this can lead to overwriting files in your HOME directory. That's why I would insist that all users have unique names. b: where and how do I start - as in how do I go about building the tools - supposing I have my linux installation ready. Just download the RPM (a popular program installation package) from the Alliance web site. If you have something like the Mandrake 8.2 Distribution, you have all RPMs to install all the development tools, in case you want to rebuild Alliance from source, though RPM is the only tool you need to install the prebuilt distribution. Regards, Art
