   I say taxes aren't necessary. Just hold companies accountable for every step in their manufacturing chain. They need to audit and ensure factories address meeting or standards for the workers. I don't mean wages, I mean safety, ov

   Afew years ago, I ran all my family photos through a script that renamed them based on the year, month, and date. I may have retained the old name in the metadata. I'm looking for the script I used. I also have some tools that compare

   I know, I work in RH. I hate being stuck with ancient packages. It's over conservative and causes all sorts of other issues with audits. Just trust us, we backported that...

   Same with OpenSuse LEAP, Ubuntu, or Debian.

   Any Linux will do that, or BSD. If you don't want support or patches, don't install them and silo your machine properly.

   The OpenSuse community has a pretty good model. They work with Suse, but set their own priorities.

   They've largely left the licensing for Virtual Box alone, but I also find it difficult to trust Oracle.

    Yup, the only valid complaint I've seen about OpenSuse is the lower support window, "at least 36 months" for any major release. I think most of the complainers don't realize how easy it is to upgrade OpenSuse compared to

    You'd have to convert to SLES and buy extended support.

    Supported for "at least" 36 months. You can get extended support and it's usually quiet a bit more.

    OpenSuse, and Suse give you more control over minor release version changes. You have to manually change your repos with some scripts before you patch. The RH way of just rolling you from minor release to minor release invisibly has always

    Zypper is awesome. The newest version of LEAP is identical to Suse Enterprise, you can convert with a simple script if you decide you want extended support. The root filesystem uses btrfs, so it's easy to roll back update problems. The

    Your forgetting Suse, I'll bet they take a big chunk of the customer base. OpenSuse LEAP is now identical to SLES and it can be converted easily if you want support.

    We used SLES like that on our HPC. SLES and RH will run just fine without subscriptions if you don't plan to update them. The license for RH precludes you from running unlicensed RH, if you have any licensed RH. I don't believe Su

    Opensuse with kde had worked ok for me on an old surface pro. Strangely it has an on-screen keyboard to login, but not once you login. It's pretty easy to add one.

    Try Mobaxterm on windows, it give you vim, grep, awk, xwindows and Linux Land tools in a nice single installation. Current versions of windows can do scp, ssh, rsync out of the box in the windows console, but I believe that is less then a y

    I got into Linux from a networking background. Windows just didn't have the same network tools available, and they were all expensive. At the time I was mostly doing non-profit sysadmin work. It took me about 5 years to transition from

    Things change, new stuff always takes awhile to stabilize. ZFS went into Solaris n 2001, Btrfs went into the Linux kernel in 2013. I've been using it for at least 5 years with no issues.

    I can run other services on top of backups, for example, I run a calibre server.
