Thread: message dupes anyone ?
Hi folks, is it just me or are there a lot of dupes of mails coming from this list? Obviously noone else is complaining so it might be on my side though I can't think of a source. I've got simply Mozilla-Mail 1.7.11 colecting the stuff off my provider's pop server along with some other lists. Mozilla sorts them into message-folders and thats it. I took a little survey and found pg-general and pg-sql not affected but pg-novice has the dupes, too. The funny thing is that not every single mail gets cloned but quite a lot. Any hint ? Andreas
i'm wanting to set up my own pgsql linux server on my LAN at home. i'm pretty new to linux (as in, brand spankin'!). i'm thinking of using an older computer - i think it is a pii 300, or something like that. i'm thinking i want to run vectorlinux 4.3. can pgsql 8.0x run fine on such an old computer? if so, is vectorlinux a good choice? are there any other distros that allow for easy installation of the latest version of postgres? the reason i chose vectorlinux is because the installation instructions were understandable - i'm pretty decent when it comes to following cogent and thorough instructions. cogent, thorough instructions are HUGE, *HUGE* plus. tia... ps - i suppose redhat (fedora) would be a great choice (shameless plug for Tom's company!) since business is so familiar with it, however, i don't think the latest versions will run very well on my old box). do correct me if i'm wrong, though! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

It will definitely run on older hardware, but it may not be able to run fast enough depending on what you are trying to do. If you just want to learn how to get it running, play with some toy sized databases and maybe develop some simple web applications using postgres as the DB you should be able to do that. I am not familiar with vectorlinux. I don't remember anyone making any packages for it for postgres. If you want to build from source there shouldn't be a problem, but if you want the equivalent of RPMs you might have problems. Also, since it sounds like you are using this system to play, I would recommend playing with the 8.1 beta releases. There are some nice new features and if you end up deploying a real system later based on postgres your time will be better spent learning 8.1 than 8.0.
