I just upgraded to SuSE 9.0 from my 1999-vintage Caldera eDesktop, and most of
the transition has been very smooth. The exception is running Quattro Pro.
Seems that Corel set everything up to run with glibc 2.0 or 2.1, and SuSE 9.0
is using 2.3. I installed the font server from the RPMs and my package manager
says all is well with them. I suspect that the Fonttastic font server doesn't
work with the newest flavor glibc. The error message says that it is unable
to add Fonttastic font server to the font path. The font server is not
installed.
I still have the glibc 2.1 RPMs that came with the Caldera distro. Could I go
ahead and install the older glibc 2.1 to run in parallel? I remember
something about doing this with qt so I could run both KDE 1 and 2.2 on the
same box.
Yes, Corel's WINE implementation sometimes runs slow, but I've been using
Quattro Pro since the 80s, and all my financial records are in it.
