How to use ORCA on linux server ( using procalator)

Below are step by step guide to use orca on linux servers, please bear in mind that this is for my personal reference only, please use it at your own risk. I written this guide since i haven't find it anywhere on google/internet.

What you need to have (read the procalator README for details) :

1. procalator (included in your source distribution of orca (mine is 0.27): contrib/procalator)

2. a running orca server (not covered here).

3. perl 5 installed on all target servers

installation:

Client site..

You can use procalator without compiling the source distribution, provided that you have a running orca server as no. 2 above.

1. unpack the source distribution;

# tar xvfz orca-0.27.tar.gz

2. go to orca-0.27/contrib/procalator

# cd orca-0.27/contrib/

Finally i'am surfing the net via streamy at home, pergh.. what a long wait.. but then it worth it. Unlimited use, free modem and installation, and 512kpbs for only RM45 per month, i guess that is the best choice you can get around here..

i've done a bandwith test just now, got only 394.24kbps as expected, TM already told me that my house is quite far from their exchange, 6km, you need at least below 5km to get a good connection. so far 394.24kpbs is still acceptable to me.

below is the screenshot output from the test:

Now i know why microsoft should be worry about google... it's because it trying to make the web as the new platform for any applications .. all you need is a web browser, it doesn't matter in what platform/os you are running.. SUN is right with it vision of "The Network is the Computer " check out all these new/beta application.. ( this is the way of the future.. )

most of these application are using AJAX,

can you imagine a few years ahead, you are reading your webmail as if using your fav. mail client such as outlook, that you simply can drag/drop you messages to another folder.. , viewing mail properties, and a lot more similar features, just using your web browser...

here's a few screen shots..

Just can believe it !!, that my fav. handheld is using Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0, what happen to Palm OS??? i used to own Palm M505, with Palm OS 4.0, unfurtunely the batery dies a year ago.. , never had the time to fix it..

but it's really surprising that now Palm (treo) is using microsoft.. dammed...!!!, probably this is the results of Palm separating it hardware and software (Palm OS) unit.
