Bob at Weber said he would look into setting up a wiki at a remote service they use to serve downloads. I asked about what sort of editorial policy they might put in place. The answer was that they would participate to see that answers to questions were accurate but would do not sanitizing of comments. They really would like a place where their newer customers can share experience. I seem to remember installing the Synergy demo on Mandrake about the time that RedHat switched from their traditional 5 and 6 series to Fedora. (way older than dirt!) I've been using parts of the Synergy Ubuntu alpha and beta for some time and find it to be quite good. I've not seen it fail at all. I recommend that you leave it installed in /usr/weber, the default when you unpack it. We know that is not the ordinary Ubunut/Linux way these days but it is the Unix way that Synergy grew up with. There are also ways around loosing some preferences when you unpack a new version. Certain files in several of the weber directories are untouched when the new files are installed but those files are read last for config and script customization stuff. HTH Rayh BTW -- Nancy at Weber is an interested member of this list. They have an EMC2 install in their office and test their work against that install. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
