The Debian install wizard is quite long and technical. I can see how Ubuntu (no more than a handful of questions) appeals.

No, nothing like a single party system. Or are you saying a nation only fighting for itself is like a single party system? Control = power x influence. The argument was that more control can be had through having a local currency. I think,

Yes, but at the same time nobody exists in a vacuum, especially not small countries like Denmark in highly globalised economies. Collaboration on something like the Euro makes small countries more powerful and effective, and thus more sover

Hear hear! Thank you Debian contributors! I wish the CentOS forkers would see this in particular: it's just been amazing to see them continue to want to build on such shifting sands you fundamentally don't control. There _is_ a co

I'd think that both distros work with upstream as much as possible when bugs are found. I'm too lazy to do it, but you could check both distro's bugtrackers for activity to know if one really generates more checking than the

Practically universal. Even if there's a Linux distro going out of it's way not to set them, many tools, including big ones, support it anyway (also on non-Linux Unices). In practice I've never encountered users with a distro

I'll never forget that time my SNCF train was about one and a half hour late, which was extra annoying because it was planned to arrive just before midnight, and it was a long ride to I had been looking forward to bed. They have a tier

Maybe. I still see way too much enthusiasm for all these new CentOS replacements in these circles. Those projects are all phenomenally bad ideas and everyone should understand that. People who're convinced in board rooms are getting RH

It's coil whine. It makes much more sense when you realise that the 16kHz or so frequency is well out of range for anyone over 40. Many things related to noise make sense once you realise all older people are near deaf, compared to the

Every train needs their own battery, all trains can use the same overhead lines. Plus, in Europe, most rolling stock is electrified anyway, and diesel units are only kept around for a handful of peripheral lines. Germans are famous for not

If by Europe you mean Germany, or by rebuilt mean maintenance, then, yes. The level of rail maintenance in America (barely any) is illegal in the rest of the western world. Tenders for maintenance specify certain speed and safety limits tha

I really hate it when a drink is served with a paper straw. They release 95% of the pfas in the drink. There's no better way of introducing the stuff to my body. Why is nobody thinking of this? Perfectly good bamboo straws exist!
