Community Training
by mlong＠datalong.com
Hi All,
I have floated the following idea at my church and it has been well received. Seek donations of older computers, have the youth group refurbish them, sell them at a low price with user training and support to seniors. The money raised will go to the youth group. The systems would be optimized for email and web surfing. Naturally Linux would be the OS.
Is this a crazy idea? Has anyone done something similar? Are there resources available to help with this sort of thing?
Thanks,
Mike

Problem Sparc ULTRA 1 not seeing SBus Fast Ethernet
by Ken Jones
I have a Sparc Ultra 1 which has been running flawlessly since 2003 running Ansel 2.4.20-2.3sparc.
Last week after a nine day power outage the system no longer activates eth0, the TPE ethernet interface.
I installed a -->
Sun 501-5443 x1049A quad 4-port SBus Fast Ethernet card
The operating system does not recognize this new hardware.
This system has been running so flawlessly for at least four years that I have forgotten much of what I had learned about Aurora.(I am an elderly man by high tech standards).
The little green input light corresponding to the port to which I have attached the fast ethernet cable does illuminate.
Where do I start?

A second Aurora - SPARC question....
by Ken Jones
Oops!
I just looked inside my ULTRA SPARC ONE. The ethernet I/O appears to be embedded in the big mother board. That is not good if I am correct.
Any suggestions??

Subject: Aurora - SPARC question....
Folks,
I've not been WLUG active for a year or more. Back then the half of my 111 gig PC disc which was dual booted with FEDORA developed a permanent error. The other half's XP installation has been OKAY. I have learned to us WINDOWS.
Meanwhile my SUN ULTRA running as an Aurora SPARC SAMBA file server since 1993 has been chugging along just fine.
I live in Fitchburg. We have been without power for nine days. 110 volts came up yesterday evening. Much to my chegrin my SUN was unhappy. I used a rescueCD to boot. All came back except my ethernet card. It would not start. The little light at the far end on the IP cord does not glow...
---------
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
says, "Bringing up interface eth0: Determining IP information for eth0 ... failed.
[FAILED]"
The card is claimed to be a 'sunlance' card.
Any ideas? Is the card fried do you think?
I have a second SPARC machine. It's ethernet was working last time it was powered. Must I swap?

Driver for SUN SBUS ethernet card.
by Ken Jones
My SUN ULTRA 1 has lost its eth0 card circuit.
I have purchased a
Sun 501-5443 X1049A Quad 4-Port SBus
Fast Ethernet Card for my SUN ULTRA 1 running Aurora.
The original fast ethernet circuitry is part of the SystemCard. I do not wish to replace the system card. Will I have a problem finding a driver?

I have successfully configured GNUCash to pull down my data from
discover card. Additionally, I download my data from my bank in M$
format (OFX) and it imports perfectly.

Convert Quickbooks to GnuCash
by Michael Long
Hi,
Has anyone had a experience migrating from quickbooks to gnucash? I have
been google'ing for the past couple of hours looking for solutions but
have not really found one that works for me. The only one I have found
requires Excel (xl2qif Excel Macro).
