I tried the same thing about a year or so ago and had the same battles. I found out RDP isn't routable. I decided to try tight VNC and that did work but the performance was terrible. On May 20, 2013 7:20 PM, "Scott Grizzard" <scott@scottgrizzard.com> wrote: > Dear Slugge... 1 1

Sure. Just use the os.system() method: import os os.system("./a.out"); You will need to be careful about giving the path to the binary that you want to execute. If you want your python script to write data into the stdin of your running binary, or to capture the output f... 0 0

Heh, just gave away an AMD Athlon64x2 3600 with three SATA drives and Ubuntu64 (don't worry, it went to one of our gang). Point is, we should post up free computers, and make sure they are loaded with linux and ready to go first. We could build up give-aways at some of the meetings, an... 1 8

Abilene. I have been there. The best thing about that area, is that you can take vacation in the summer to the Rocky Mountains, and get away from the heat for a while. My guess is that it will be hotter than here. There will be less rain. And you will get 4 seasons. Good luck in... 1 1

I motion that we include the meeting in the regular announcement lineup at this point. We'll discuss it at the tampa meeting, but I'm fairly confident in Joe Brandt not losing interest any time soon. Bill, Sam, Bryan, William -- what do you say? On Wed, May 1, 2013 at 10:20 PM, Pete Thei... 1 12

A lot depends upon what machines are being used, and how they are being used. KDE is a good desktop choice as it does resemble Windows.

Mageia 2 has been a really solid distro that meets those requirements. It's the community for off of Mandriva (formerly Mandrake) after they stopped production on it. On Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 12:46 PM, Chuck Hast <wchast@gmail.com> wrote: > Folks, > I am looking at fielding... 0 0
