I do both linux and win devel. Win in vm is a pita so you run win bare metal and use linux in vm. Then you grown bored of setting up samba for sharing between vm and host, fire the vm on 1 screen and have another os in the other screen and so on. Now I just fire wsl from win menu and I go. It is simply more seamless to me. When you say you develop on both, you develop the same things on both, or different things on both? I share between systems via GIT. No I've customers asking for linux stuff and other customers asking for win stuff. What causes the need for the Samba shares between them, then? Seems like you'd just keep them disconnected. While all end in a git service (bitbucket) having code sparse in 2 machines and duplicated tools is not something I like. So I prefer to keep eveything in 1 place use 1 editor and share sources/compiled code to run it. With wsl this is smooth and fast. Not having to devel for win would be a big win. That's what I do, I just don't do Windows

Free, but not sure about open source... LibreOffice Draw works well. Inkscape is worth checking out; typically a vector graphics tool, but also has some PDF editing capabilities. I've used Foxit PhantomPDF across a few clients, and have had some issues with the driver just randomly experiencing issues when trying to print to PDF or to a printer. So, just a heads up. But their price is very attractive. As @JaredBusch also pointed out, PDf Element is a good alternative at a slightly lower cost than Foxit PhantomPDF (roughly $30).

@coliver said in GNU AGPLv3 vs MIT licensing: @olivier said in GNU AGPLv3 vs MIT licensing: aGPLv3 if you think some "hosters" can use it without contributing (ie not actually run the code on your machine = no need to share your modification with GPLv2 for example). Guess which license made AWS adding stuff to Xen without sharing it? So, even if I'm selling software, I'm convinced aGPLv3 is more fair toward the community. /my2cents Xen is MIT licensed isn't it? Nope GPL2. Duh should have trusted the dev. Xen probably predates the MIT license!

@olivier said in Zimbra 8.8 Has Released: Again, thanks for posting this, it helps me to remember I need to update my Zimbra from time to time (oh and thanks for the direct link too) Good!

@pravin said in Ma be repeated, I'm looking for Cost effective and open source solution with overall linux environment!!!: @scottalanmiller Thanks for your support, and I saw video and I think it's immeasurable topic for me More videos coming from MangoCon, as well.

@scottalanmiller said in Odoo vs ERPNext and Which linux more suitable (Ubuntu/CentOS) ?: Fedora is better for active IT departments that maintain their systems. CentOS is better for companies that deploy and never maintain their systems and just hope for the best I just wonder your statement here on CentOS, while I have seen you always praise CentOS than Ubuntu. Is that praise just about CentOS vs Ubuntu ? So your whole interest on Fedora is because it have Latest things and faster development ?

@stacksofplates said in Why Free Open Source Software Is Cheaper Than You Think: @dashrender said in Why Free Open Source Software Is Cheaper Than You Think: Well I have downloaded Inkscape but haven't had occasion to use it much. If you have other graphics programs to recommend I'm all ears. Personally I really like the Corel products, they seem much more straight forward to use than PS. So I'm definitely not stuck on the PS side of things. I'm definitely a causal user I prefer Inkscape if I can do it. Vector is so much easier to work with than raster. Inkscape is awesome. Loads of professional work is done in that.

Hope they will keep the pace

Loving the Marvin Gaye reference in the title.

Assuming you got hosted SharePoint only I think it's $4/u/m... Tiny capacity, though. 1 TB per user? That's ODfB. The Sharepoint storage proper is like 100MB. OMG, that's near useless! It's only for documents. Goes a long way when used as intended. Used as intended? That's a joke, right? Storing large PDFs should be a part of the intention. DWG files can be huge.

@DustinB3403 looks interesting, but not something I have had to look into before.

@scottalanmiller Done

@coliver said in Azure AD Open Source Alternative: @StrongBad said in Azure AD Open Source Alternative: Samba 4 does what AD does, for free. But I'm not aware of anything that does what Azure AD does using open source software that you can host yourself. Does anyone know if something exists? I guess what are you looking for? Azure AD is basically hosted AD with some limitations as to client management. It's a totally different technology. Azure AD is a competitor with hosted AD. It's not AD in any way. Very different technologies. One is a LAN design and one is LANless as well.

The one thing I still haven't been able to figure out just yet is how to create task dependancies so that setting one task's start time is dependant on its predecessor. This would let me properly display the Gantt chart with timelines aligned with expected completion. I know I've seen something once about how to set it up but I couldn't get it figured out and haven't had much time to get back to it.

That's disappointing..

@jmoore said in Open Source LAMP Web Hosting Panels: It does not seem easier to me. Could just be me though. It's often not just more steps, but more complex too!

Screenly OSE really seems like what we need. The fact that we don't have to spend a ton of money on hardware is a plus in my opinion. https://www.screenly.io/ose/ Youtube Video

@COOGOR said in GNU Health Open Source EMR: @scottalanmiller Well, not as many experts as for SAP, but you find some Tryton is a fork of openERP (nowadays called odoo) and runs for itself as ERP in many companies around the world. Their website is a PITA, agree. A Web-Frontend is available as well. @stacksofplates Lots has happened since 2012.... Oh, good info. That makes it make a lot more sense. Thanks.
