I'm not the windows guru I used to be. Converted my household to Ubuntu Linux and have been pretty happy since. The kids miss some flash games, I don't miss the virus issue.
www.cygwin.com is one possible windows avenue that might work. When I was hanging on to windows because I had to support it, I used cygwin religiously. I found a lot about cygwin to be frustrating, but it was better than being w/out unix/linux all-together. Unless you absolutely positively must remain a Windows/Microsoft supporter, I recommend grabbing an old decommissioned box and slap Linux on it. It's gotten a lot easier with the latest distributions. I use Ubuntu for most, but Cent-os might be just what you need, and I've heard good things about Mint, but haven't gone there. If you can live without the Xwindows/GUI almost *any* machine will work and perform just fine. W/Google and apt-get command line, you should be able to get a box up and running inside of a couple of hours. I can imagine Linux is frightening, but it doesn't need to be. For me it's like a big box of toys, you might have to do a fair amount of reading, but there's a lot of good documentation and Google can be your friend. I prefer googling linux issues over Microsoft Technet issues. Tech-net can be such a royal PITA. Ctrl-R for reverse command line search was a godsend to me, why Microsoft has never implemented something, so useful, is beyond me. F5-F6, I forget which key brings up the annoying scroll box for command history... What were they thinking? Argh, soo far off topic, my apologies. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
