Maybe I mis-read something, but why was gnome running on a server?
Anyway, I feel the dude's pain. In the other direction, I'm one of those who hasn't used Windows on his home workstation in about 10 years. There are a few Windows-only apps at a new gig of mine that I am required to use, and I rage almost daily to this guy's level about the unusable, unstable garbage I must tolerate to earn a few bucks. I'm so fed up with maintaining the VM for this purpose, that I'm seriously contemplating renting a remote vnc/rdc-accessible Windows desktop just to purge my workstation of the monstrosity.
Lesson learned from this guy's rant? Different strokes for different folks. You couldn't pay me enough to be a dedicated Windows admin. If I can't do the job with an xterm, ssh, and vi, then it isn't worth the hassle for me.
- kermitthehermit 15y agoThe first sign that something was amiss for me was the word GNOME in a paragraph which was talking about a SERVER. I think the quality of any kind of work a person who runs *NIX servers with desktop environments is minimal and I tend to tag such persons as incompetent. He also sounds like a guy who just gave Linux a shot for 1-2 years and was too incompetent to maintain a server properly.
