Re: LedgerSMB on Windows

[Thomas Bullock <..hidden..>]

Hi John,

I knew Ubuntu 10.4 was LTS,  but thought it expired at 12.4, not 15.4.  That is very good.  Do you know if Debian Etch is close or far apart from Ubuntu?  If close, I should be able to follow at least the broad outline of the install process at that link.  The little bit I have seen on this list and the developers list is that linux is far the more popular OS than Windows.

Thanks for the heads-up and encouragement.

Tom

Thomas,

Just a note -- Ubuntu 10.04 is very much a current version -- it's the most recent "Long Term Support" (LTS) release, and what we use in production. (We still have some 8.04 boxes, and one 6.06 that's getting retired).

Don't use a newer release, or you'll end up stranded. 11.04 will have support until October 2012, while 10.04 will have support until April of 2015.

That's for servers, anyway. Why upgrade any more often than you have to?
We upgrade our desktops all the time (often ahead of the release) but this is just too much work for servers...

For the same reason, we pick CentOS or Redhat over Fedora.

Cheers,
John

I think you would be better off setting up a cheap Linux system with Apache, PostgreSQL and LedgerSMB, then connecting to that over your LAN using Firefox on your Microsoft PC.
