Subject: RE: [Digital BW] Getting started with QuadtoneRIP on Linux?
John,
Thanks for the info.
I'm beginning to think I should just get a new G4 laptop with PS CS. I
should learn Mac and PS anyway. Anderson Ranch (the workshop I'm leading
this summer) is 100% Mac. So I should learn it. Also, I could use a
laptop. I will continue to do my editing on the PC. But it sounds like
Roy's suggestion of using a USB flash memory card for file transfer is easy.
I assume also I could easily burn a CD full of all the files I'd need to
transfer.

Subject: Re: [Digital BW] [Off list] Getting started with QuadtoneRIP on
Linux?
Hi Paul
I have used Macs since their inception in 1984 and
have used QTR for many months now. Here is my set-up
for reference and I will follow this a recommendation
for a minimal system. Whether a mac set-up versus a PC
setup with Linux is easier I do not know. If any of
the following gets rambling or confusing just fire off
a question. I am a full on Mac geek so ask away!!
ME: Photoshop CS, Mac G4 400 Ghz desktop-gettin' a
little old now but still hums along nicely, System
10.2.8, Epson 1200 with CIS and UT ink, 2200 with
Ultrachrome. I have UT cartridges for the 2200 that I
have been meaning to play with for a good couple
months now but I had a big pile of color printing to
do so that is on the back burner now.
Minimal mac system: System 10.2 or later. System 10 is
basically Unix with a pretty face and QTR is based off
GIMP-PRINT and CUPS and some other linux/unix code so
10 is a must. A mac with a G3 or later processor to
run system 10. Top of the line desktops are G5-I have
one at work-its great, next down is G4-still used in
all current Mac laptops, then G3. The G3 is officially
getting old, but it will work just fine for printing.
(System 10 is just maybe a bit much for the G3 to run
it at super full potential.) The cheapest best bet for
a used G3 laptop is one of the "Snow" ibooks. The
"original" ibook-the one that came in a bunch of
different colors-while cheap may be too slow. I would
not go much slower than a 500 Mhz G3. (My dad has an
old 233 G3 and system 10 is sluggish on
it)Powermax.com often has good used Macs, they are
actually located about 20 minutes south of me in
Oregon and I have had good luck with them in the past.
Of course ebay is an option as well.
I honestly don't know if you would need a full fledged
version of Photoshop or not, Roy would know that.
Assuming most of your editing would be done on your
PC, it is really no problem to transfer PS files
between a Mac and PC. You will need a cheap bit of
ethernet cable and then set up a mini network. It is
not hard in system 10.
Well I hope that helps and feel free to ask questions.
I really think you would find value in exploring QTR
whether on Mac or Linux.
right on
