Does anybody know of Linux software for managing a recipe
collection etc? Something like Now youre cooking or
Mealmaster and the others.

Thank you

I found this. It's not free:

A text editor works just fine for me.

I found your post at a Linux forum today from Google, the
guy who posted there had excellent advice.

I found the following between Google, Freshmeat, and
SourceForge:

I know there is a GNU program that does this, but I cannot
find it by searching and I do not have it installed.

When I find some time I intend on writing a GPL'd recipe
program using C++, Qt and SQLite. I just have too much [censored]
on my plate right now.

Which distro are you using? I switched from SuSE 8.1 over to
OS X... though not Linux the new Max OS X is built off of
FreeBSD Unix... I just couldn't get over the dependencies
problem with Linux... Anyone know of a better way of
installing RPM's without having to track down a bazillion
other lib's and dependent junk?

I never thought I would hear myself say this... but I'm
REALLY starting to like this new iBook...

You get KDevelop installed on my Linux box then I'll
reconsider... I don't have time to track down the bazillion
dependencies it requires just to install...

Anyway leaving an old Dinosaur like the x86 is nothing to
get upset about... <g>

My Linux box installed with KDevelop (Mandrake 9.2).

Well Mandrake was my first choice but the damn thing
wouldn't recognize my USB mouse and keyboard so I couldn't
get past the first installation screen! lol... I ended up
installing SuSE 8.2 and loved it - that is until I tried to
install more software than what was offered by YaST... Once
I started downloading packages I would get all sorts of "you
need this lib to continue - you need this <insert missing
item here> to continue"...

Do you know of any download managers that will check
dependencies and automatically download them if need
be? Someone mentioned "appget" I think (I may have the
name wrong)...

If you haven't tried OSX you I strongly suggest you give it
a spin... I have everything I had on Linux running on a
STABLE (as when I try to launch an application I don't get
that mysterious nothing) Window manager... gcc, KDE, servers
and all the goodies *nix has to offer... plus XCode is great
- sure beats the heck out of VI and gcc'ing it through a
terminal... It's right up there with Visual Studio (I don't
wanna hear it... it's easy to user and it works)...

I find it amusing that we're having a linux disscusion on a
cooking newsgroup. It doesn't surprise me. Lots of geeks
seem to like cooking.

apt-get is what you are talking about and it runs on debian.
I ran various incarnations of redhat and marmaduke for the
last 6 years and finally switched to debian and there is
_NO_ going back.

Just 'apt-get install packagen' and it will pull all
the unistalled depedencies and upgrade any packages for
the new app.

ObCooking: Made some killer hummus the other day. two cups
of dried beans (about 4 cups cooked) plus 2/3 of jar of
tahini. 🙂 Luckilly it's moslty unsaturated fat, so it's
good for me...or at least that's what I tell myself.

Does it *only* run on Debian or will it install on SuSE 8.2?

Apt is a part of the Debian distribution, but will run on
other systems. The problem you have to contend with is
that all package managers use their *own* databases for
managing dependancies and you really *can't* mix them
together. If your system's using RPM then you really
should not use dpkg (Debian package manager; apt-* are
just tools to do the retrieval of the .deb files, et. al.)
to install other packages.

Old Dinosaur? PC's can outcompete Mac's in both performance
and price.

And vi is superior to emacs.

That's like comparing Mustangs to BMWs... Sure it has more
"muscle" and cost less... but it's not as elegant nor
sophisticated...

Intel is no longer going to market CPU speed as a selling
point for their processors... something Apple's been doing
for quite some time...

Why memorize a bazillion quick keys when a friggin' mouse
can be used?

So you don't have to keep reaching for the freakin' mouse.

I remember how impressed I was by the first MacIntosh. It
was my first exposure to a mouse. I was amazed when he set
the keyboard aside and spent the next hour showing me around
the Mac and never touching the keyboard. Now, after all
these years making a living at a computer, I think the mouse
is a PIA. It's indispensable for graphics, but little else.
IMO, there needs to be more "quick keys" so I have to use
the rat key less often.

Amen. I like vi because I have all the power of regexes and
more without moving my fingers from the home row (I
touchtype 60-90 wpm depending on what I am typing). The
mouse is useful to navigate, but once I get where I am
going, I do not want to use it at all. The only exception is
a web browser or game.

I wasn't impress by the mouse on the first Mac as my Apple
IIc had one...but the B/W graphics blew me away.

Ayuh, vi is lots faster than Word. But not many ppl bother
to learn the keyboard shortcuts for Word. If they did that,
it'd be just as fast as
vi. On Windows I use a quick text editor called UltraEdit.
Works great and understands coding rules for things like
C, C++, PHP, etc.
