I found your post at a Linux forum today from Google, the guy who posted there had excellent advice. I found the following between Google, Freshmeat, and SourceForge: http://krecipes.sourceforge.net/ http://gnutrition.sourceforge.net/ I know there is a GNU program that does this, but I cannot find it by searching and I do not have it installed. When I find some time I intend on writing a GPL'd recipe program using C++, Qt and SQLite. I just have too much crap on my plate right now. -- John Gaughan http://www.johngaughan.net/ |

Well Mandrake was my first choice but the damn thing wouldn't recognize my USB mouse and keyboard so I couldn't get past the first installation screen! lol... I ended up installing SuSE 8.2 and loved it - that is until I tried to install more software than what was offered by YaST... Once I started downloading packages I would get all sorts of "you need this lib to continue - you need this <insert missing item here> to continue"... Do you know of any download managers that will check dependencies and automatically download them if need be? Someone mentioned "appget" I think (I may have the name wrong)... If you haven't tried OSX you I strongly suggest you give it a spin... I have everything I had on Linux running on a STABLE (as when I try to launch an application I don't get that mysterious nothing) Window manager... gcc, KDE, servers and all the goodies *nix has to offer... plus XCode is great - sure beats the heck out of VI and gcc'ing it through a terminal... It's right up there with Visual Studio (I don't wanna hear it... it's easy to user and it works)... ~john |

Someone mentioned "appget" I >think (I may have the name wrong)... I find it amusing that we're having a linux disscusion on a cooking newsgroup. It doesn't surprise me. Lots of geeks seem to like cooking. apt-get is what you are talking about and it runs on debian. I ran various incarnations of redhat and marmaduke for the last 6 years and finally switched to debian and there is _NO_ going back. Just 'apt-get install packagen' and it will pull all the unistalled depedencies and upgrade any packages for the new app. ObCooking: Made some killer hummus the other day. two cups of dried beans (about 4 cups cooked) plus 2/3 of jar of tahini. :) Luckilly it's moslty unsaturated fat, so it's good for me...or at least that's what I tell myself. ~Deepak -- Deepak Saxena - dsaxena at plexity dot net - http://www.plexity.net/ "Unlike me, many of you have accepted the situation of your imprisonment and will die here like rotten cabbages." - Number 6 |

Does it *only* run on Debian or will it install on SuSE 8.2? ~john |

Apt is a part of the Debian distribution, but will run on other systems. The problem you have to contend with is that all package managers use their *own* databases for managing dependancies and you really *can't* mix them together. If your system's using RPM then you really should not use dpkg (Debian package manager; apt-* are just tools to do the retrieval of the .deb files, et. al.) to install other packages. |

I remember how impressed I was by the first MacIntosh. It was my first exposure to a mouse. I was amazed when he set the keyboard aside and spent the next hour showing me around the Mac and never touching the keyboard. Now, after all these years making a living at a computer, I think the mouse is a PIA. It's indispensable for graphics, but little else. IMO, there needs to be more "quick keys" so I have to use the rat key less often. nb |

I like vi because I have all the power of regexes and more without moving my fingers from the home row (I touchtype 60-90 wpm depending on what I am typing). The mouse is useful to navigate, but once I get where I am going, I do not want to use it at all. The only exception is a web browser or game. -- John Gaughan http://www.johngaughan.net/ |

What's not to like? Which OS X version are you using? I just got a Mac G5 for work with a 23" cinema display with an iSight video webcam, and it is beyond astounding. I came into work today just to try watching one of my DVD movies on this new Mac. The movie just ended! Wow! While I was watching the movie, I recovered all my old files from backup tape that I had created on my old Mac. My old Mac died on me after several years of near 24x7 use. I also have an Apple Powerbook, which is a year old. Its also a great computer. Both my G5, my Powerbook, and my old G4 Cube run OS X 10.3.3 and it is the best OS I have ever used, and I have used a hell of a lot of different operating systems over the years. |

It has menues, a scrollbar, and other mousey things, but vi users will feel at home. http://home.snafu.de/%7Eramo/en/ Ben |

I like minimalist applications done in this style. Another example is putty. Ben |
