I Just Want Something to Happen When I Click

,----[ Quote ]
| While I enjoy mocking Microsoft's Jabba-ware, 
| Linux is an offender as well. Too many Linux 
| devs are all jazzed about GUIs and flashy 
| junk, and ignoring or even trying to do away 
| with the CLI. Dear ones, when your GUIs are as 
| fast and efficient as the CLI, then I will 
| quit crabbing at you. Where ever did you get 
| the idea that I want to waste my life wading 
| through poorly-organized menus, and waiting 
| for lardy slow-ware to actually do something 
| when I click, when I can accomplish the same 
| task in one second on the command line?
| 
| So there is my computing wish for the new 
| decade: I want something to happen when I 
| click.

Mandriva 2010.0 on HP mini 110

,----[ Quote ]
| No problem to install Mandriva 2010.0 on this 
| new (for me !) HP mini 110. However, at reboot 
| time, blocked on udev.
| 
| I found a similar bug report for another 
| system that gave me the hint: Add 
| ssb.blacklist=1 at boot prompt. And indeed it 
| did the trick ;-)

Managing Linux, the Windows way

,----[ Quote ]
| Why would Microsoft be so interested in a company
| that provides management tools for Linux? Consider
| the ramifications.
|
| By encouraging a policy in which all identity
| management and account provisioning happens via
| Active Directory, Quest's products effectively
| make Linux servers subservient to the Windows
| infrastructure. They also effectively elevate
| the Windows admins to become the gatekeepers of
| those Linux resources. In other words, they keep
| Linux right were Microsoft wants it: at the back
| of the server room, out of sight.
