Thread: Windows Programs on Ubuntu Server
hi,
have been administering novell netware servers years small law office, not "tech" type, country lawyer. however, found novell servers relatively easy administer without technical expertise.
now, find out novell has discontinued netware, , choice continuing novell on linux server, or other choices. have several of home computers running ubuntu, thought give ubuntu server first crack.
have several old dos programs operate off server, i.e., wordstar 7.0 lan , borland sprint. guess move them on workstations, , store data files on server.
did answer own question? interested in knowing whether programs stored on linux server run on windows machines, or programs need stored locally? otherwise, use of server remote storage medium?
know files, in whatever format, can stored on linux machines , accessed windows. on right track here?
concerned storing windows data files , accessing them on server. example, heavily use several databases use ms foxpro. data files reside on server,and accessed several users. operate same or there more difficulty (like needing use wine on server??). have had little success running foxpro under wine, less in multi-user environment. feel more comfortable accessing forms , date (like under ms word example) stored on linux server.
thanks,
alan
the server remote storage. programs store on server accessible if on disk drive. if windows programs runable on windows machines or, of wine, on linux, too.
samba service need @ first.
