That's the goal. but things have been moving quite, quite slowly. You can still try it out though. All it involves is installing yourself a Debian Sarge system then adding simplygnustep.com as a package repository. Eventually (2018?), there will be an install disc with a real GNUstep installer. Until then, you can do the above. Sorry things move so slowly. I'm a full time college student , full time U.S. soldier, and father. Dang kids make for slow software development!

Hi to everyone. I recently was able to test a "Live" cd that was using GNUStep. I really, really liked it. What I am looking for is a complete "distribution" based on GNUStep. That appears to be the goal of this project. Is that correct? |

Yes, the setup is still a bit on the manual side, unfortunately. After you apt-get your sgstep packages, make sure you apt-get wmaker. Next step depends on if you want to use the kdm or gdm x11 display managers. If you do use a display manager, there should be an option to start a window maker session If you do not, the installation of the wmaker package should have configured a file called /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager to make sure wmaker is started. Once you're able to start X11 with wmaker, you need to open up a shell to start GNUstep apps. The command "openapp GWorkspace" should work. If it complains about not finding the program openapp, then you need to first type (in the shell) "source /System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh" you can then use the openapp command to start GNUstep apps. It seems there is a little bug in Debian which can cause the occurrence of the above problem. So, sourcing the above file may or may not be necessary for you. Hope this helps, any more questions?

Hi, I've installed the sgstep packages, but can't seem to get it running properly. First of all, when I start X11 I get a GNOME desktop instead of GNUstep. And if I start X manually, followed by starting wmaker I get the normal Debian menu without the sgstep applications. What am I doing wrong? Ronald |

I've added all the new, very nice stuff from the ImageApps Collection. the sgstep-meta-user package has been bumped up to version 0.0.4 as well. New Stuff: ImageKits :Frameworks used by all the ImageApp's applications Preview :A general purpose viewer ViewPDF :A specialized PDF viewer, it can also navigate PDFs Camera: :Downloads images from your digital camera ImagesManager :Use it to manage your image collection Just do a: apt-get update followed by apt-get dist-upgrade (a regular apt-get upgrade will not retrieve the new packages) Chad |

> A "Software Update" type app, which should be a simple wrapper around > apt. A framework may be in order here too. Apt is written in c++, so I guess integrating it directly is out of he question. the command line tools can still be used "behind-the-scenes" though. Another thing that is needed: GNUstep configuration of debian packages. Right now debian packages can be configured text-based (using Dialog) as well as using GNOME. Allowing GNUstep configurations would be needed eventually.

What's new: Both the sgstep.com/org/net and simplygnustep.com/org/net servers seems to working as expected! ------------------------------- The simplygnustep software repositories have been moved to simplygnustep.com/org/net. They are no longer hosted by sourceforge. So to keep up with release, change "/etc/apt/sources.list" to: deb ftp://simplygnustep.com/simplygnustep/ binary-i386/ deb-src ftp://simplygnustep.com/simplygnustep/ source/ and you're all set make sure you do a: apt-get update and apt-get upgrade after changing "/etc/apt/sources.list" --------------------------------- Yes, the project is still alive! :-) I've been experimenting with making debian install cd's and have been sucessful in making some. An important first step. There are still some issues which need to be addressed: A new (and working) X11 window manager to replace WindowMaker A XFree86 configurator written in GNUstep A "Software Update" type app, which should be a simple wrapper around apt. A framework may be in order here too. There are other things as well, but I can;t think of them right now. If you want to write the above apps, they do NOT need to be solely for SimplyGNUstep. Just create your apps for the whole GNUstep community and I will package them for SimplyGNUstep. --------------------------------- Anybody else want sgstep email accounts? There were quite a few people who signed up for some, but my research indicated they don't really use them. I've turned sgstep into a completely free service, with optional donations. check out http://www.sgstep.com LAters, Chad |

There are some webdav clients, such as cadaver though. Using a client is pretty clumsy though, it's much better to be able to mount such things. If anyone is looking for a good linux project, this would be it. Read on. Right now you can use ftp to see your directory. There is also some experimental support for mounting ftp servers in linux, I need to check into how well that works out. You can info on it here: http://ftpfs.sourceforge.net/ This may also be a good starting space for anyone wanting to write code for mounting webdav filesystems. Also, in the next day or twi the www.sgstep.com portal will be open and you'll be able to check your email, browse your home directory, upload/download files to your home directory, and do some calendaring stuff, all via the web. This is all thanks to the openwebmail project. very nice project. It's gonna be sutomized to look steppish, including having GNUMail icons. > > >>> How many people can your server easily handle? >> I really don't know.

Yes, I can boost it up to a maximum upload speed of about 1.5Mbs. That of course, costs more, so I won't do that till it's evident that it is needed.

IMAP is mail.sgstep.com, must use SSL POP is mail.sgstep.com (need SSL, could someone try both for me and see if it working correctly?) SMTP is smtp.sgstep.com, also needs SSL, without authentication (I'm fixing that, SMTP really should have authentication) If smtp.sgstep.com does not work for you, then the DNS record for that hasn't reached you yet, just use mail.sgstep.com Also, try and do a ftp and see that works for you, if you would please. SFTP is coming soon.... WebMail is coming soon too.... Enjoy! Chad |

Michael, I agree! However, there are quite a bit of people out there still relying on yahoo and hotmail type accounts. I'm glad you brought up PHP in home pages..this is exactly the kind of feedback I'm looking for. Now I wonder how I could do that and keep the machine secure...I'm gonna look into that one! Any pointers? thanks!

I'd like to explain exactly what I'm doing here: First of all, I have realized I don't really have the time to work on SimplyGNUstep at the speed which I would like. I think you all would agree that progress has been slow. the reason is that I'm a very busy person! I'm currently in Army, working more than full-time and going to college full time as well. My wife also works and goes to school full time. To add to that, we have two small children ( a boy and a girl) :-). you can imagine.... HOWEVER, I will be graduating in about 1 yr. In addition, I will be leaving the Army in about 15 months. So there is a really big opportunity for all this to change for the better. What I would like is to be able to work on SimplyGNUstep FULL time at that point in time This includes improving GNUstep itself by writing new applications and frameworks. However, there is no way I will be able to do this and support my family without some type of revenue to pay the rent, eat food, all that nice stuff. So I have come up with a plan to (hopefully) allow me to do this. What is that plan? To provide online services similar to Apple's .Mac, but for a much lower price (about $25 a year). The goal is to not only provide the raw internet services but to make it in such a way so that it totally complements and integrates with SimplyGNUstep. I think such a service is a pretty good deal at $25 a year, maybe I'm wrong.... Now, if I can maintain about 2000 paying users at one time that would equate to about $4000 in revenue a month. More than enough to be able to work on simplyGNUstep full tie and produce something really cool for everyone to enjoy. Note that I currently make quite a bit more than $4000 a month right now, so I'm not doing this for the money. If all I cared about was the money then I would stay in my nice, cushy, well paying army job. But before this can happen I need to get the server running with users so I can configure it and see how well it handles loads. I need to see if my inet service is up to the challenge too (I have business class broadband going in my house). As of right now the mail server seems to working (SMTP, POP, IMAP, with optional SSL), I got DNS working too. Right now I'm boning down on PHP and MySQL, which is a vital part of all this. Ok, So I'm asking for as many people as possible to start using the server. I'm not asking for any money or anything, just users. So it would be awesome if you would ask for an account. tell you friends, mom, brothers, sisters etc about it too. The more the merrier. :-). I'm also not going to be charging for SimplyGNUstep, it will always be a free system, so this service will support its development. I may, in some point in the future, sell nice, pretty, packaged SimplyGNUstep boxes, but that will be optional. The same CD will be available for download, unlike most of the other linux distro's out there. Thanks! Chad P.S. Note that the server is not just some cheap PC. For example, it has a 3ware 4 port RAID card, the *real* stuff, don't want to lose people's data! :-) On Dec 19, 2003, at 9:23 PM, Chad Hardin wrote: > I put out a few days back that anyone who asks can get themselves an > email account on my new server www.sgstep.com/org/net > > I was surprised that only one person responded, nobody else is > interested? > > You will also get 100MB of online storage using ftp. > > In the works are: > > personal webpages at yourname.sgstep.com > > online web mail > > online managemnt of passwords, etc. > > plus more stuff.... > > Yes, this is kinda like a simple .Mac service > > > I would like to have as many people using the server as possible so I > can get lot's of experience setting in up. > > > Is there any more among you who would like to try it out? > > (sniff) > > Chad |

I put out a few days back that anyone who asks can get themselves an email account on my new server www.sgstep.com/org/net I was surprised that only one person responded, nobody else is interested? You will also get 100MB of online storage using ftp. In the works are: personal webpages at yourname.sgstep.com online web mail online managemnt of passwords, etc. plus more stuff.... Yes, this is kinda like a simple .Mac service I would like to have as many people using the server as possible so I can get lot's of experience setting in up. Is there any more among you who would like to try it out? (sniff) Chad |

Hi Chad, Long time, but I'm still here, and still interested to here progress. I'm sorry but I'm so overloaded that I'm unable to contribute right now. Regular 12-14 hour days don't leave much time for anything else. I'm certainly interested in in having an sgstep email address! May I have one please? I hope that administering the service won't become a burden on you... Pete.

I'm in the process of setting up sgstep.com (the inet services part of SimplyGNUstep, kinda like .Mac) The mail and ftp (not anonymous) servers are working. I'm gonna make email accounts available for anyone who asks, you can use POP or IMAP (SSL too). i'd like to get as many people to use and load it as possible to test it out, so give it a shot, okay! :-) You email address will be XX...@sg.../org/net Just reply to me personally and it's all yours. So far it's blazingling fast and there is no limit on how much email you can store. In the future there will probably a MAX 100MB limit for each account, can't beat that for free. Chad |
