[Digital BW] Re: Getting started with QuadtoneRIP on Linux?

2004-02-02 by Tyler Boley

That probably sounded flip but I didn't mean it that way. I'm a Mac
guy, yet I put a PC in here to run my RIP a few months back for less
than I paid for a stick of ram in the not that distant past.  I just
don't take these platforms as religions and figure we should use
whatever tools we need. We switch car brands all out lives. No big deal.
You'll need something that can run OSX, so a recent but used iMac or
eMac may be a better deal than a laptop.
Part of the reason for my responce was your mention of "very simple",
for any PC person a basic little OSX Mac would be considered extremely
simple. I had a few initial problems networking it all but I know
nothing of networking and it all works now. I needed some help getting
the Mac to see the PC, others have had it happen easily. Going the
other direction, the PC seeing the Macs was trickier but a PC person
had it up in 5 minutes. You just need a cord.
