Working on a Linux computer again
December 18th, 2007 by aklibrarian1I am working on a Toshiba laptop that I have put Ubuntu on. I thought it would be easier to get Koha working on it. This has been a year of cleaning and organizing the library though and not working on the computer. Going into Christmas break, though, I plan on taking the computers and learning more about the Linux system.
Koha 3.0 should be released this week or next. I am excited about the changes that may be coming. I am hoping to be able to use MySQL to organize the Marc records better. MarcEdit is great, but I need to put the records together by ISBN number and I am hoping that I can sort and merge them using MySQL
I have learned how to shell into another computer from a Macintosh. The word a Mac uses is ‘terminal’ With that I was able to put the Linux machine under my desk and just work on one machine.

Hi, Darla–
In looking at your blog, I can see what’s been keeping you really busy. I admire your documentation of your process of making Koha the kind of utility you want it to be for your school district. I’m wonder how you and your aides are doing. A number of people have asked about you, and I sent you an email last week and didn’t hear back. Hope your health is good and that other Koha folks are benefiting from your efforts here!
