In reply to: Martyn Eggleton posted an update in the group Gnu/Linux: May be a silly point but Stallman is suggesting we move to saying GNU + Linux, it being easier to say and a bit more precise.

Nagios is a monitoring tool, I mentioned it because it’s got a web interface that makes running it on a remote server a doddle. -

Gnu/Linux: 1 year, 8 months agoHas anyone got any stories to share of a weird and wonderful places you’ve managed to cram linux?
My favourite project to date was converting a HP t5700 thin client into a game testing box. After trying a couple of different cheap thin clients I chanced upon this model. I upgraded the RAM to 512mb whipped out the ROM chip so it would look for…[Read more]

Gnu/Linux: 1 year, 10 months ago ago · updated 1 year, 8 months ago agoIf anyone is looking to revive and old machine I’ve been using a couple of flavours recently that’ll do nicely.

Gnu/Linux: 1 year, 11 months ago ago · updated 1 year, 9 months ago agoHi, who uses what flavour?
I’ve had a little experience with a lot of flavours but I mostly use CentOS.-
Ubuntu here.
Got it on my Dell Mini10v Netbook (thanks again Ian) and it’s now running as my development environment in a VM on my Windows PCs.
-
I use an Ubuntu derivative (Crunchbang) on my Atom based net browsing machine at home.

Ubuntu on my net book and VM on my mac

I’ve tried Ubuntu but have always been a Fedora user. I’ve installed every Fedora version since 2 and set up Fedora 13 over the weekend. It’s a dual-boot laptop with Windows Vista.
-
I use Fedora on my lappy (Dell XPS M1330). It’s nice. I have a bit of a glitch running sound in Wine that I haven’t got sorted out yet but the eye candy is sweet and it runs fast and stable for everything else so far.

In my last job, I used Ubuntu 8.04. Only stopped using it as I have a Mac in my new job. I can honestly say, even as a self-confessed Mac fanatic, that Ubuntu and the Mac are peerless OSs for working with LAMP.
The only thing that I would find lacking about Ubuntu in my current job would be the lack of first-party support for Adobe Photoshop – I…[Read more]

debian debian debian, for everything from the one by my bed (especialy since ubuntu went all facebook)
to the 100-line asterisk servers I work with-
I run a CentOS based Trixbox server. We only have a few lines but it covers all our helplines nicely.
The only Debian install I’ve worked with was a Sarge based cut down install for a Psion Netbook so I haven’t had much of a play with Debian.

Stock Ubuntu 10.04 on my netbook and studio desktop, and 9.04 on my laptop.
Been with Ubuntu since 5.10, tried other distros and derivatives, but I think I’m Ubuntu-for-life.

Gnu/Linux: 1 year, 10 months agoIs there anyone out there with Linux on USB knowledge?
I’ve been experimenting for a while with various flavours on an assortment of USB flash drives and I have some nice light persistent installs going but what I’d like to do is buy a larger flash drive and pt multiple installs on that with a Grub menu to choose between them. All the processes…[Read more] -
