<div>===Installing Gramps on the ASUS Eee PC 4G===<br />
<br />
First follow the suggestions in http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:beginners_guide<br />
*get connected<br />
*back-up simpleui.rc<br />
*install SublimePorte's ''Launcher Tools''<br />
*download Derred's ''pimpmyeee.sh'' - remember where you saved it<br />
**run it - sh ''path to file''/pimpmyee.sh<br />
**chose 4 to enable extra software repositories and create a preferences file reducing the liklihood of updating files from the wrong repository.<br />
<br />
Then, in a terminal window, ''sudo apt-get install gramps'' to install the Gramps 2.2.3-1 package. This is not the latest version but it will install the all necessary support software along with Gramps. I did it from a terminal because I couldn't access the OK button in Synaptic's pop-up window.<br />
<br />
Use SublimePorte's ''Launch Tools'' to add a Gramps lanucher to the simple interface tab of your choice. The path to the executable is: /usr/bin/gramps. <br />
<br />
If you would like to run the latest stable Gramps download ''gramps_2.2.10-1_all.deb'' package from http://packages.debian.org/lenny/gramps. Navigate to the downloaded file, right click it and chose ''Install DEB file''. This will update the version that you previously installed. This WILL NOT substitute for apt-get's package installation.<br />
<br />
I've uploaded some screenshots from Gramps running on the Eee PC to http://www.flickr.com/photos/davestuff/<br />

<div>This page will try to illustrate some of the features of genealogy database programs other than '''Gramps'''. It will serve to allow '''Gramps''' users who do not have access to these programs to understand comments regarding them.<br />
<br />
Lets start off with '''Personal Ancestral File 5.2''' (www.familysearch.org) and '''Ancestral Quest 11''' (www.ancquest.com). '''AQ''' has been updated within the last 6 months to '''AQ''' 12 but there seems to be little difference in appearance. If the two programs seem to be very similar that is because (as I understand it) the LDS Church bought the source and developmental rights to '''AQ 3''' a long time ago. '''PAF 5.2''' has been around for many years and is used by thousands of people around the world. It is available for free download from the '''LDS''' site. These programs have only Windoze versions although they run reasonably well on Wine.<br />
<br />
Originally '''Family Tree Maker''' screens were going to be displayed but the version available is 9 years old and no longer representative. '''FTM''' screen shots are available at ''www.familytreemaker.com/About/Screenshots.apx''.<br />
<br />
'''''The Family View:'''''<br />
<br />
[[Image:AQFamily.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:PAFFamily.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*Note the upper-right-hand corner of some individual display blocks - that indicates that there is further information available, either sources, notes ...<br />
*Note the filled and unfilled arrows associated with the name blocks in PAF - open indicates a dead end while filled arrows point to further family information regarding that person. In AQ either the arrow is there or missing - same reasoning. Obviously, pressing the arrow moves the display to another family view.<br />
*To change focus between parents: in AQ double click the other parent, in PAF click the double headed arrow.<br />
*An edit screen is available for each individual and the marriage either as a menu choice or by double clicking.<br />
*Multiple spouses are indicated:<br />
**in PAF by a action bar above the base person's block- click to select the spouse from a list<br />
**in AQ in text above the spouse's block choose the spouse with an arrow to the right<br />
*Ordering of children is done through an edit menu.<br />
*The arrow left of the focus parent acts as a ''back'' button.<br />
*The PAF screen has a clean uncluttered appearance while displaying a maximum of information.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''''The Pegigree View:'''''<br />
<br />
[[Image:AQPedigree.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:PAFPedigree.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
*The two different expanded information blocks are features of both programs. Hovering the cursor over a name gets the block shown in the PAF display while a click gets the block shown in the AQ view.<br />
*Note the number of generations displayed (original display was about 800 pixels wide)<br />
*The URH corner and filled and unfilled arrows have a similar meaning as above<br />
<br />
<br />
'''''The Individual or Name List View:'''''<br />
<br />
[[Image:AQIndividual.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:PAFIndividual.png]]<br />
<br />
*Click a category in the heading to sort, click again to reverse the sort.<br />
*Heading categories may be added, removed, resized and reordered.<br />
<br />
'''''Add/Edit Individual Screens'''''<br />
<br />
[[Image:AQAddIndi1.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:PAFAddIndividual.png]]<br />
<br />
*The basic business end of any program - where the data are entered. The same screen serves to add and edit information although with other titles.<br />
*The other two screens of AQ allow a bit more data to be added.<br />
*Custom events/categories can be added and grouped into another template.<br />
*Clicking the '''S''' to the right opens a screen for source data entry. AQ allows entry of a category for a source and uses it to filter the source display.<br />
*A menu choice in AQ's Tools and PAF's Options displays the font's full Unicode character map - select and click to insert the character. Another choice here pops-up the date calculator.<br />
*AQ's "To Do" and "Research Manager" are useful and generally underutilized features.<br />
*Date entry is pretty simple, corresponding to the "Text comment" of '''Gramps'''.<br />
*Place entry is similarly uncomplicated allowing a less complex sort or display.<br />
<br />
----<br />
FWIW '''Gramps''' export to GEDCOM choice of a PAF target works pretty well for both of these programs, except for address information.<br />

<div>This page will try to illustrate some of the features of genealogy database programs other than '''Gramps'''. It will serve to allow '''Gramps''' users who do not have access to these programs to understand those programs.<br />
<br />
Lets start off with '''Personal Ancestral File 5.2''' (www.familysearch.org) and '''Ancestral Quest 11''' (www.ancquest.com). '''AQ''' has been updated within the last 6 months to '''AQ''' 12 but there seems to be little difference in appearance. If the two programs seem to be very similar that is because (as I understand it) the LDS Church bought the source and developmental rights to '''AQ 3''' a long time ago. '''PAF 5.2''' has been around for many years. Originally '''Family Tree Maker''' screens were going to be displayed but the version available is 9 years old and no longer representatiove. '''FTM''' screen shots are available at ''www.familytreemaker.com/About/Screenshots.apx''. These programs have only Windoze versions although they run reasonably well on Wine.<br />
<br />
These are the Family View:<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
*Note the upper-right-hand corner of some individual display blocks - that indicates that there is further information available, either sources, notes ...<br />
*Note the filled and unfilled arrows associated with the name blocks - open indicates a dead end while filled arrows point to further family information regarding that person. Obviously, pressing the arrow moves the display to another family view.<br />
*An edit screen is available for each individual and the marriage either as a menu choice or by double clicking.<br />
*Multiple spouses are indicated:<br />
**in PAF by a action bar above the base person's block- click to select the spouse from a list<br />
**in AQ in text above the spouse's block choose the spouse with an arrow to the right<br />
*Ordering of children is done through an edit menu.<br />
<br />
<br />
These are the Pegigree View<br />

<br />
**The two different expanded information blocks are features of both programs. Hovering the cursor over a name gets the block shown in the PAF display while a click gets the block shown in the AQ view.<br />
**Note the number of generations displayed (original display was about 800 pixels wide)<br />
**The URH corner and filled and unfilled arrows have a similar meaning as above<br />

**The two different expanded information blocks are features of both programs. Hovering the cursor over a name gets the block shown in the PAF display while a click gets the block shown in the AQ view.<br />
**Note the number of generations displayed (original display was about 800 pixels wide)<br />

<div>This page will try to illustrate some of the features of genealogy database programs other than '''Gramps'''. It will serve to allow '''Gramps''' users who do not have access to these programs to understand those programs.<br />
<br />
Lets start off with '''PAF 5.2''' (www.familysearch.org) and '''Ancestral Quest 11''' (www.ancquest.com). '''AQ''' has been updated within the last 6 months to '''AQ''' 12 but there seems to be little difference in appearance. If the two programs seem to be very similar that is because (as I understand it) the LDS Church bought the source and developmental rights to '''AQ 3''' a long time ago. '''PAF 5.2''' has been around for many years. These programs have only Windoze versions although they run reasonably well on Wine.<br />

*Note the upper-right-hand corner of some individual display blocks - that indicates that there is further information available, either sources, notes ...<br />
*Note the filled and unfilled arrows associated with the name blocks - open indicates a dead end while filled arrows point to further family information regarding that person. Obviously, pressing the arrow moves the display to another family view.<br />
*An edit screen is available for each individual and the marriage either as a menu choice or by double clicking.<br />
