@scottalanmiller how would you update and install packages without dnf, I use Ubuntu and would be weird if they removed apt...
Is there a separate command for kernel and repos updates?

@scottalanmiller that will be a good feature..

@dafyre Another thing I detest is this windows as a service crap.... All I need is Security updates...
Not for your default pdf reader or browser to be reset when windows feature updates have been installed, and yes you can ignore, but it will soon keep telling you to install it. Lets not forget they are moving everything about and changing the OS in stages (control panel) for example, some bits here some bits there.....It's just a mess at the minute I think....

Microsoft are doing so well with their 365/Azure platform, but I believe they have got windows 10 so wrong.... I just don't see this getting better at all.

Anyway, hoped you all enjoy my love for windows 10

@dafyre Starting to feel the same way, when I do fully move over, I will probably go over to Deepin, quite like where that distro is going. I feel it's just a shame about Windows 10, they had everything so right in Windows 7. Don't get me wrong, there are some nice features to windows 10, like the improved task manager and the right click start menu shortcuts to device manager etc..but that's about it......

Why do Microsoft feel the need to tell us what browser to use? didn't they get in trouble with this years ago regarding browser monopolisation. I just don't think there is any need for it..

Name put aside, it's just what I've known it as, I also use ISPconfig on another VPS, I think both web panels just work and have no issues with either.. I've used cpanel/whm many times in the past and quite like cpanel but just chosen to use what I use, obviously if you don't want to worry about updating your VPS and don't want the hastle then just use regular web hosting.. I'm just stating what I use in the thread and by no means giving advice to use what I use.

I use a vps installed with centos web panel, been running my sites like this for a long time now.

@jaredbusch I had an olivetti 486dx2 66, it was grey and I'm sure it had a turbo button on it, defiantly didn't have that much ram in it though.

@obsolesce I know most machines have over 4gb of ram these days, but still nice to see a lower footprint..

Nice lower memory usage, love watching the progress with this distro.

@scottalanmiller I love old buildings and ruins, what year was that built?

I thought Google Drive sounded fine, better then Google One....

Google Drive changing:

Yep get this all the time....

@scottalanmiller said in Practical jokes on fellow IT colleagues:

So one time at "the bank" someone put an entry in the /etc/hosts table that was something like this...

192.168.1.5       192.168.1.9

And you can imagine the problems that ensued as people could not ever ping the right box.

Had something that wasn't intentional happen when a printer company changed a printer, and put the IP address of the gateway as the new IP of the printer, didn't notice straight away why the internet access was a bit flaky...that was a funny one..

@scottalanmiller haha I like that one

@stuartjordan said in Windows NT Release History:

@dustinb3403 They should of branched off another version called "Windows Idiotfied Edition" and left it how it was for businesses and people that actually use their machine for practical work.

That's the branch they have now.

Very true!

Have you ever played practical computer jokes on your fellow IT colleagues?

A favourite of mine was to screenshot the background and set this as the background picture and then remove all icons on desktop, watching them getting frustrated with their constant double clicking of icons was quite amusing.

Another one was putting the shutdown command on their browser icon....

Of course these jokes were only for fellow IT colleagues and not users obviously.....

I prefer the start menu in windows 7 as well, the start menu in windows 10 is just horrid. Just things in windows 10 seems like a longer process, like changing network adaptor settings... more clicks involved...
