Full Discussion: Will installing LINUX mean reinstalling my 3rd party apps?
Operating Systems Linux Will installing LINUX mean reinstalling my 3rd party apps? Post 302381250 by Corona688 on Thursday 17th of December 2009 03:12:33 PM
Old 12-17-2009
I'm surprised to tell this to a long time UNIX admin, but Linux is not windows and never will be. Windows programs are not, have never been, and will never be directly supported. Installing the WINE libraries lets you run some of them but this is often tricky.

You'll need to find new ways to do a lot of things. But that's pretty much the point. If it was the same as windows, did everything the same way as windows, ran the same programs the same way in the same interface, what would be the point? It'd have all the same problems too.

What are these 3rd party apps you need so badly? Are they really irreplaceable?

mono-asp-apps(1)						   User Commands						  mono-asp-apps(1)

NAME

       mono-asp-apps - utility to manage ASP.NET 2.0 applications installed from RPMs

SYNOPSIS

       mono-asp-apps command [options]

DESCRIPTION

       The  'mono-asp-apps'  command is useful on systems which install applications from RPM packages and when the RPM packages have been created
       according to the Mono RPM packaging guidelines for ASP.NET applications.

       The utility allows one to initialize, enable, disable and start installed applications.	Note that you do not use this  utility	to  manage
       applications hosted and managed by the Apache (or other) web server, only by xsp.

       Note  that  this  utility is useful only on systems where at least one application packaged according to the Mono ASP.NET 2.0 RPM packaging
       guidelines has been installed.

COMMANDS

       The commands which take an application name, require the it to be one of the registered names. See the `list` command below.

       init APPLICATION_NAME
	      Initializes the application named APPLICATION_NAME, if it hasn't been done already.  Initialization actions performed  are  applica-
	      tion specific, but may include creating databases and populating them, creating directories, downloading files etc.

       enable APPLICATION_NAME
	      Enables APPLICATION_NAME for automatic start when XSP is started as part of the system bootup process.

       disable APPLICATION_NAME
	      Disables APPLICATION_NAME, so that it is not started automatically when XSP is started as part of the system bootup process.

       start APPLICATION_NAME [server_options]
	      Manually	starts	the  xsp2  process passing the configuration of APPLICATION_NAME to the xsp2 process. Applications may ship with a
	      bundled start script which will be used instead of xsp2 if present. server_options are passed verbatim to the server process.

       list   Lists all the applications known to the utility.
