When you install the rebol.deb file, it autamtically install xfonts 
packages, then you need to reboot the PC

You'll find an incon in the "Applications/Development" panel

Just reboot? Ok, I was trying with a CD-Live so I have never restarted 
after installing the rebol.deb file.  I'll try it tomorow with a 
installed Kubuntu 11.04 and I'll post any new. Thank you for your 
help.

You can probably just restart the X server.

(also, I think there is a way to flush the X server font cache.)

Tested with reboot after installing rebol-2.7.8.4.3-4.i386.deb and 
it works perfect. Thank you Max

I have tested with a CD-Live too, and after installing rebol-2.7.8.4.3-4.i386.deb, 
I log out the session, then restart the X Server from the login screen 
( a hidden option at shutdown icon ), and log in again with ubuntu 
and blank password. And it works perfect. Thank you Gabriele.

A *nix command line question (I think). Using the following command:

	echo '.show' | sqlite3 -separator '\t'

yields

	...
	separator: "\\t"
	...

How do I "escape" the backslash so only one is inserted?

I'm not sure what you mean - I think sqlite is just escaping it in 
the output. ie. same thing as in rebol:

>> as-string #{5E49}
== "^^I"

I'm running REBOL v2.7.8 on an xubuntu box. I want to run the cheyenne 
web server. Anyone know how to dissable automatic startup of Apache2 
server on a Debian-based distro?

Try removing the symbolic link named S80httpd from /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/.

On my Ubuntu 10.04, the symlink seems to be more like /etc/rc3.d/S91apache2, 
so I am not sure for Xubuntu.

I want to put core on a wireless router. Anybody out there doing 
that?

Never done that, but you'll probably need to build a new custom linux 
firmware image for your router.

You can start with OpenWrt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenWrt

I put dd-wrt on a router once, and I heard of fedora on a router, 
and various linux based router os's. I suspect there is three options; 
1. use an x86 pc as a router, 2. use an x86 router, 3. use an arm 
type router with an arm rebol ($$$).

Latest ARM REBOL binaries are v2.5.0, which should be ~9 years old.

Well that is a start.

ew, no async back then. I think there is a work around, but its not 
pretty.

I'm producing a Linux server OS including REBOL, that could be used 
if the router is x86

If the router is ARM, REBOL is a problem, but the Boron or Red languages 
could be used, depending on your needs

@DocKimbel: Thanks! There is a README file in the /etc/rc3.d/ directory 
that indicates to rename the file to a Knnapache2. I'll do it and 
see what blows up. :))

Ryan, I think Luis was doing some rebol on routers back in the day 
but I could be mistaken.

@Gabriele: - Thank you!! Very good resource ....

Thanks James. I heard someone had done it before. I have pretty much 
decided to scrap the idea for the time being. I seem to be stuck 
on the x86 platform for the time being, and x86 routers are expensive.

Jaime Vargas had a commercial wireless router with embedded Rebol

That was really heavy duty outdoors stuff

Ryan, as long as you're on x86, you could consider Syllable Server:

http://web.syllable.org/pages/about.html#Server

What price range are you aiming for, Ryan? In my experience, x86 
router-like devices are certainly more expensive than the concurring 
architectures, but not prohibitively so.

I.e. EUR 100/USD 130 for a reasonable x86 router box is certainly 
doable.

(Thinking about Alix/Soekris/Orbit Micro-style devices here.)

Under $200 for the router and server (or just router).  Syllable 
sounds tempting.  Can I run stunnel or something else for SSL support?

Does syllable run cheyenne? Can it do something like festival text 
to speech?

Syllable Server includes Cheyenne preconfigured. We're running a 
number of sites on it

SSL can be added to Cheyenne by putting NginX or indeed STunnel in 
front of it, but I haven't done that yet

I am running NginX in front of Cheyenne now without SSL, but it's 
not integrated in a Syllable release yet. I plan to do that in a 
new Syllable Server release in a few months

Before that, single packages can be added or upgraded within Syllable 
Server

Compiling Festival should be possible, too, but it has a few dependencies, 
so those would have to be compiled, as well

Other TTS packages such as FLite or eSpeak could also be used

Is following aproach safe to my server? :-) I use Zentyal, which 
is an add-on upon Ubuntu. My SDK REBOL/Command is screaming it can't 
find libstdc++.so.5

http://re-bol.com/rebol_ubuntu1004.txt

Hmm, does not work, so ....

install the ia32-libs thru your package manager, that should be enough

(apt-get install ia32-libs; no idea about zentyal, though)

hmm, following worked for my "Ubuntu":


wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-3.3/libstdc++5_3.3.6-18_i386.deb

sudo dpkg -i libstdc++5_3.3.6-18_i386.deb

Where should I put my rebol executable ideally?

/usr/local/bin

or /opt/rebol-<version>/bin
