So I try to install Zend Studio 5.5.0 with Zend Platform on Ubuntu 7.10 - Gusty Gibbon. But after the IDE install was finished this error popped up:
The Zend Platform installation requires root privileges.
Please login as root, and run:
/home/name/ZendStudio-5.5.0/scripts/splatform_install.sh
Press ENTER to continue...
Ok, that’s an easy thing to do:
~$ sudo sh /home/name/ZendStudio-5.5.0/scripts/splatform_install.sh
sh: Can't open /home/name/ZendStudio-5.5.0/scripts/splatform_install.sh
What the fuck! Looks like they misspelled the freaking script name. Cd’ed into the dir and found out the real name was platform_install.sh . Here goes nothing:

Today I signed up for two pharmacy affiliate programs: Rx Partners and Stimul Cash (former known as Stimul Media). As you know, signing up for these two is quite hard these days and you are required to have invitation code plus webmaster approval to start making money with them. Here is a conversation with the approval guy (Mark from Rx-Partners):

You want to rename your Drupal tables by adding a prefix to them? There are about 57 tables in my MySQL database . Here’s the SQL code that will save you a couple of minutes. To add your own prefix just open up a text editor and use Find and Replace from drupal_ to your_prefix_. Because of additional modules, more tables may exist in your drupal database, just add those manually.

After the mirroring process is finished, I strongly advise you to download Ubuntu 7.10 from the mirrors close to your location, because the ubuntu.com servers will be under heavy stress today. But right now you can download Ubuntu 7.10 CD and Ubuntu 7.10 DVD from the main Ubuntu server. Find out how to Download Ubuntu 7.10 Gusty Gibbon torrent in your browser
Installation
Because I didn’t have any blank media to write on, I chose to install OpenSUSE from the ISO image stored on my laptop’s harddisk. To install OpenSUSE from the harddisk I first had to copy linux and initrd from the 10.3 repository to the /boot folder, and then point to them with GRUB by appending the following lines to /boot/grub/menu.lst:
title Install OpenSUSE 10.3 from the local HDD
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/linux
initrd /boot/initrd

- Video Memory 64 MB
- Core Clock 297 MHz
- Memory Clock 230 MHz

I’ve been a Linux admirer for quite some time now and flirted with many distros in my life. But I never completely switched to Linux as my main Operating System. Why?
Right now all your base are belong to Windows XP:
- Opera passwords/mail/bookmarks/cookies
- Perfect ACPI compatibility with my Laptop
- Yahoo Instant Messaging file transfer (all your messages are belong to Yahoo Messenger too
)
- Direct Connect P2P file sharing with StrongDC++ (and many many other good DC clients)
- Small, pretty, out of the box fonts and comfortable interface
- Game compatibility
Anyway, tomorrow OpenSuSE 10.3 comes out and I was thinking this makes a great time to change. We’ll see…
