@StorageNinja said in Why I Feel KVM Is the Easiest HyperVisor to Learn the Basics On: @Dashrender said in Why I Feel KVM Is the Easiest HyperVisor to Learn the Basics On: The question is - why is the quality so bad? Isn't the process supposed to catch bad quality? Their process is consider the windows insider group (extreme power users) to be a good enough replacement for proper QE teams, and writing automated build tests. Right, the new process isn't to catch bad things, it's actually to see bad things as "not all that bad." Presumably because a shift from viewing their products as being for business to being for entertainment. Remember when Windows 95 was a key tool for businesses, but by Windows 98 they had made sure to put a "for entertainment purposes only" label on the product to make sure no one confused it with something that was intended for business use? I feel like that's where they are now. At least internally, no one is really thinking of this as a business tool.

I know Canonical is a big supporter of LXD. Who is the big supporter for LXC? LXD is just an interface for LXC. So Canonical supports LXC through LXD. The biggest contributors to LXC are Virtuozzo, IBM and Google. So LXD makes it easier to manage LXC? Yes

Still working well, still none of the issues that were seen before with Korora.

talking about number of packages, this has always been my reference: http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/ if a distro has it packaged it is quite sure they have anything both debian and suse have it.

Good to see. Probably adds a little performance boost as well, newer compilers normally do.

@mlnews said in openSuse Leap 15 to Follow Leap 42.3: http://news.softpedia.com/news/opensuse-leap-s-new-versioning-scheme-finally-syncs-with-suse-linux-enterprise-515158.shtml That's good news.

So I stopped using the text install and went to full graphical and... it started working. WTF

/proc/version usually has pertinent information across most systems. Edit: I looked closer. It's just the OS name (RHEL/Ubuntu) and kernel version. Never mind.

@ntozier said in HPE Sells OpenStack and Cloud Foundry Business to Suse: HP seems to be selling off a lot of stuff recently... Definitely trimming the fat if nothing else.

@NerdyDad said in Suse Enterprise Linux for the Raspberry Pi: I'm seeing it as a good entry level device to finally learn Linux Server administration at an affordable device. Granted the hardware isn't something that you're normally going to normally see in an enterprise environment, it would give me nearly identical experience managing a linux server in an enterprise environment. The hardware doesn't matter at all. Like SAM suggested, go for a VM. There's no difference. There are actually pitfalls in using a Pi, for example there isn't any RTC (realtime clock and battery). This can give you very weird results during reboots because next to no application expects a filetime to go backwards, which can happen without a working clock (depends on timing, network availability during reboot, working fake-hwclock package etc).

@dafyre said in OpenSuse Leap 42.2 Hits Beta: I played with the first OpenSuse Leap release. It was pretty cool. My only OpenSuse server at the moment is a web server and it runs Tumbleweed. Yup, I worked with it too, it's a great product.

@KOOLER "do guy" = "do gui" LOL

@momurda said in Building a Basic DRBD Cluster on OpenSuse 12.2: What is the purpose of 'zypper -remove patterns-openSUSE-minimal_base' I know what it does, but is it necessary? Does this minimal_base package prevent you from installing certain packages at a later date? Or you just making things nice n neat? It's been quite some time, but if I remember correctly it interfered with some packages that we needed as the "minimal" blocked adding a bunch of stuff.

@DustinB3403 said in Linux: Checking Filesystem Usage with df: Will there be a topic on "managing inode in linux" Yes, but it is going to go into an "Advanced Topics" section. Just as LVM and MD will have high level "normal" admin sections and eventually delve much deeper in advanced sections. I want to cover everything in a "normal admin" capacity like you would learn from the RHCE up front. Then go back and cover the nitty gritty details that other admin books don't. So it will basically take two passes but the hope is that the first pass will take you from "starting point" to "competent Linux Admin" then the second part will go where normal admin guides don't tread.

It doesn't update as "new" when I just update the list. Only if I comment on the thread.
