Don't look now @JaredBusch

I'm just a few rows behind you:

Just spent an hour or so looking for a file in Linux to find the details to set up a piece of software... only problem.. the file didn't exist.

I'm not really strong on digging through Linux using the CLI,.. was a lot of trial and error. Lots of trail and error....

Thanks @art_of_shred and @scottalanmiller

Why is there a difference in getting your IP from say IPChicken or What's My IP and using TraceRT?

IPChicken.com

17x.xxx.210.1

What's My IP

Tracert

@MattSpeller
Ever launched a D motor out of a 10 foot copper pipe with no nose cone, fins or anything else?

Okay - I'm still looking but I would like some opinions here.

As I sit here at the hospital looking for a new laptop. I've had Dell, Acer, and ASUS and have had decent luck with all of them. The last system I had was an ACER 2 n 1 that I took a risk on buy at Best Buy. Just twenty-four months ago.

I won't bother taking it back to them to see if they can repair it since the last laptop I bought there they managed to lose for about six weeks.... not going back to them again.

I am not a gamer, programmer, or 'light' user. I don't want a chrome book, I am considering a SSD. Would like to have between 6 and 8GB of mem, as I would like to run Linux, and a Windows vm.

I"m going to continue to look at options,.. but would like to see what suggestions I can get. From what you may be using to what you have seen as wokring good. I don't need a 2 n 1, or transformer type. I didn't use it really, and I already have an iPad.

As for cost,..I'd like to keep it under about $600 or so.

Oh - also,.. Ison now has a PCA - Patient Controlled Anesthesia pump, and you can tell the difference in his condition. He's used full sentences.

Are black olives being oppressed in Greece?

Maybe the long standing practice of getting stomped on?

Only method I can think of would be a toner.. one line at a time.

It's never their fault..

Use your Raspberry Pi 2 as x2go server

There are currently no X2Go server packages for the Raspberry Pi 2. So I build and uploaded them for you

To install the X2Go server, you need to add deb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/dodger-tools/x2go-raspi2 ./

$ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list 

to the /etc/apt/sources.list of you Raspberry Pi 2.( same location on rPi3)

Then update the package information by apt-get update and install the X2Go server via apt-get install x2goserver .

to locate your rPi IP address

$ ip addr

@guyinpv said in What's good for a workstation these days?:

I'm sure this question comes and goes regularly.

I need to replace some workstations, just wondering if there is anything interesting in the market today. Innovations with form factor, power use, administrative features, etc. Anything cool happening I should be aware of? Features I should be sure to get?

Or do I just go grab some Dell towers off their home page as usual?

First question -

What is the end use? If you are talking about AutoCADD different ball game.

But if you are talking about general usage just about any form factor should be fine.

If you want ultra small take a look at these:
