sigh but it was in my book from last year sniff sniff god damn technology.

What book was that? GRUB was deprecated around 2008.

I think this thread must have picked up a few buzzwords along the way. Buzz word. Buzzword. Buzzy fuzzy word...

It seems to me like the new iproute2 tools are more powerful, at least according to some articles I've seen... and they have been around since 1999 according to Wikipedia, lol.

Wow if i look back the day when i first met the CentOS. Thanks to @scottalanmiller and @Minion-Queen because of you guys I learned about them and yeah I will keep going in learning 🙂

This is the Unreal engine. So tons of games will be based on that.

Grabbed all ten to add to my library, thanks for sharing!

Anyone remember Stormix Linux?

@ajin.c you bet. We are here to help 🙂

I think that they remain pretty tough for developers still too. Although a more traditional Linux desktop will be great for that. Mint, OpenSuse or Fedora make awesome development workstations.

And then we need to configure the drives via the SmartArray BIOS.

@scottalanmiller Yeah just saw that when I clicked on it.

I told @mike-ralston that downloading any Linux isos via mirrors is not a good idea. Torrents for those are infinitely faster and more reliable.

I'm actually looking forward to this LTS as a possible every day desktop for myself. I've never been fully on board with taking the plunge, but the increasing irrelevance of the underlying OS is making using a stable and secure platform that much more attractive to me.

Find it odd you have GNOME at the bottom. Again though, I haven't given them enough or really any time as of late, to have an opinion. GNOME at least was my favorite but they could have ruined it in recent years.

I tried moving us to a TS environment about 4 years ago - I couldn't get past the thin clients 'flashing' on websites that used Adobe Flash. When moving between screens on our EMR of the time the whole window would flash white before going to the next screen. I posted about it on SW... someone posted a reason why (can't recall now). Never had the problem when using a Windows machine as a terminal into the TS.

In the end it worked out since our current EMR strictly forbids TS.

@scottalanmiller oops...

It is on www.scottalanmiller.com/linux

Don't have the exact link where I am at the moment.

There's a TON of good content in there.

Thanks!

I'm also setting this up inside an ESXi VM.. do I need to install VM tools?

Yes

It's been a long time for this thread. But since it was originally posted I have been working on SAM's Guide to Linux Administration.
