Re: [Digital BW] Re: Help Installing QTR in Redhat 9..Think I'll Call It a Day

2004-04-29 by Roger L Sopher

Hey Tom,

Let me preach a bit.

You can do a reinstall in less than an hour. It will be worth the time
and trouble. This time choose custom and make sure you load the
development module. Once you get that done QTR will go in like butter. 

When I was putting together my pretty lame how to I reinstalled the damn
thing more times than I care to remember in order to try to find the
problem spots. I obviously forgot to mention the need to load the
development module.The end result though is a print engine that sings.

On the other hand I tried Fedora and could never get the 2200 to work.
My 860 worked fine and the 2200 didn't. I moved back to RH 9 and it just
fell together.

Put it aside for a day and let the frustration subside then make it
work.It still is a lot easier than fighting windows....

Consider that using wine you can load photoshop into linux and print
using QTR - almost as easy as with a mac. There are a few windows aps I
still need to use but for the majority of what I do my linux box is the
system.

No question, if I were starting from scratch I would go with a mac but
for more compute power and a very similar operating system and a lot
less money linux is a reasonable substitute.
