@scottalanmiller Ubuntu is a surprising choice for you 😉

Runs ScreenConnect.

So does Fedora.

Always fail when I do it, there is some trick to it. Happen to know what's needed so that it doesn't just put hashes on the screen for forever?

I've always used WiFi Analyizer on a phone/tablet if I needed to survey a location. That said, a thread on linuxquestions.com led me to: https://alternativeto.net/software/inssider/?platform=linux#. Looks like some options at least, don't really know if they're decent.

I have a Monster OTG that I want to upgrade by moving to a SBC (rPiZ).. could be fun to try out.

That is surprisingly disappointing. Server 2016 is supposedly the best thing ever. . .

Of course it is, if you get paid to support it!

Seems like a good move

https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/02/ubuntu-18-04-minimal-install-option

I thought they had it already, I have been using the net install for a long time in Debian and Ubuntu
https://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads

Minimal Install != Net Install

Net Install is more "Minimal Download" rather than "Minimal Install"

Correct. A NetInstall is a small initial download because it installs whichever version from direct net downloads after selection.
I always use the NetInstall download for Fedora/CentOS because that is the only way to get a solid "Minimal Install".

But I also installed my full desktop from a NetInstall image.

@black3dynamite said in Meltdown Shows Why to Avoid LTS Releases:

What makes Red Hat and SUSE exempt compare to CentOS and OpenSUSE leap? Because we are paying for the support?

Nothing makes them exempt, they ARE CentOS and Leap, just paid for instead of free. They suffer just the same.

@black3dynamite said in Do we dislike Ubuntu:

@nadnerb ElementaryOS is nice but you might not like the idea of not able to save items to your Desktop. Deepin is pretty good too.

Just not on by default. You can enable it...

The same works on Debian 9 as well

@tim_g I thought about it but have never used one so I was hesitant to purchase even though they are "cheap".

I would love to do daily driver stuff on Linux but every time I read on ML, I want to try a different OS. Seems as if there is a new favorite flavor every week....like Korora was for a while.

Korora is nice but there distro releases is slow. You will always be one version behind Fedora. That's my biggest reason to stick with Fedora instead.

Yeah, that killed it for a lot of us.

All fixed. Did a full update, then had to modify the /root/.profile file from this line...

mesg n || true

To this line...

tty -s && mesg n || true

You can do some CM in terraform also. You can do remote exec after it finishes like this:

provisioner "file" { source = "file.config" destination = "/etc/configs/file.confg" }

'You can ouput info for Ansible (or others) from Terraform after it finishes. For example:

provisioner "local-exec" { command = "echo ${aws_instance.example.public_dns} >> inventory" } ouput "name" { value = "${aws_instance.example.public_dns}" }

@scottalanmiller
Are you running KVM and LXD on the same machine?

I am, yes.

Wouldn't this be the expectation? in many if not most cases?

If you know my particular case, yes it would be an expectation. In a more common scenario, no, not so much.

Wouldn't you typically have LXD on a hypervisor?

LXD is a Type-C hypervisor, so while having it on top of a Type 1 is common, having it on bare metal is also common.

@stacksofplates That's what i loked about it while reading on it.

But "respecting it" means nothing.

In WIndows, pressing a key for a function only does that function, or nothing.

I am taking about, for example, in top where

m

and

M

do two totally different things.

Right, an in WIndows it always does two different things. If you keep using it in places where both do nothing, you can make ANYTHING into "not sensitive". But that logic, nearly every letter on the keyboard does the same thing - nothing. So you just told me that WIndows isn't "key sensitive". See why that makes no sense?

So I just came off of using Plasma 5 for a few months. It's not bad. It's not as in your face about everything as 4 was. However, dual monitor support seemed a little flaky.

@Dashrender said in Introducing NHSBuntu, UK's Ubuntu for Healthcare:

I agree, though I also agree with the others I don't think it will matter for them in the slightest.
They will simply abandon doing updates on these as well.

Very likely.

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.
