Digital BW, The Print

I have QTR2 up and going on SuSE 9.0. The installation is a bit
different from that for RedHat but is a relatively straight forward
installation.

QTCUPS is not loaded during the installation but using David
Wroblewski's command line script, QPR, is a far more efficient approach.
I have modified his script a bit so that a few of the choices are
automatically taken care of rather than having to be selected and will
send it to any that wish it. 

I'll send Martin an addendum to the Linux "how to" once I have installed
it on a couple of different systems and am satisfied that  it is free
from significant problems for Quad printing. 

There are still a few strange behaviors in the Linux version of QTR2 as
compared to the Mac version but none that interfere with using it to
good effect. I printed well over a hundred Xmas cards using the RedHat
version and it went very well indeed.

At this point I would say that the SuSE distribution is going to make a
more than acceptable substitute for the soon to be defunct inexpensive
Red Hat distribution.

I wish it!  I wish it!  Please mail it to me off-list.

I've moved to Fedora (http://fedora.redhat.com) on a couple of my machines 
without any glitches or hitches.  At this point, Fedora's user experience 
is almost identical to RH9.  There's no official commercial support, but 
there's no fees either -- and the on-line community is extensive (Fedora's 
mailing list volume is about three times the volume of *this* list!).

I haven't actually tried fedora with QTR2 yet.  I'll be sure to post here 
when I do.
