Linux Heads

Where the penguins at?
What distro are you currently using?

Been losing sleep over Red Hat cramming with Centos 6.5 and maintaining a Debian media server.

Soon to be RHCSA. >
(if I can get the shit done before Dec 19th that is, otherwise it's off to Centos 7)

I used to run Suse and RH back in the day. Now I jsut have a few cd boot distros for havoc/profit. Backtrack/Flak

[SignalRecon]

edit: I have an Ubuntu laptop I rigged up from an old dual core think pad also. (runs better then my windows 8 quad core laptop tbf...)

Backtrack, Kali, Mint, Fedora, OSSIM, Puppy and CentOS at home.

SUSE at work, although we are migrating to Oracle Enterprise Linux on our servers.

Pretty much live at the command line everyday.

I've got a Raspberry Pi on Raspbian Wheezy running a little development environment for my lady's Drupal site, but it basically just sits there and works.

Always meant to dig further into Linux than I have, but never get around to it.

set up a dual-boot configuration on a laptop years ago with Ubuntu/Red Hat & Windows
just never got around to loading apps nor making the effort to use Linux so wiped the partition after a year
still regret it.

I've used a little bit of kali linux - I'm interested in the security side of IT but haven't really managed to set up any scenarios to learn penetration testing yet, still concentrating on basic networking stuff.

Soon™

... Fedora... at home.

Ban.

Don't really fiddle with linux much anymore but xubuntu on my thinkpad T61P and ubuntu server on dual core atom dedicated ovh server.

they made the rp smaller and its only $20 now. i just got to find out where to get one

Use various unix/linux systems at work. Mainly Redhat servers. A client uses ubuntu as its main OS across the whole company, pretty interesting stuff. A few use bespoke builds.

I get on with it - not a huge fan but defs can see the appeal on a OS level. Unix servers shit all over windows though, scripts4days

Got ubuntu 'nd mint on a partition at home just to keep up to speed with things.


Thinking of getting a rPI for a media centre at home but will probably just end up getting a micro itx and run windows so I can play games.

I've been making cron jobs for the last few days for backups on certain servers. Tar and gzip for compression. Then another cron job from the backup machine to scp the files over during the middle of the night. I've been having to generate SSH RSA keys to get it all working. It's been fun.

[Jhonny2x4]

Its good to see all the linux heads come out of their holes.

Linux is a different beast for sure. One thing that annoys me about red hat-based distros is the SELinux contexts conflicting with various operations and file IO requests. It feels like every 10th file operation in lab scenarios I have to 'restorecon' something.

Ran into a recent rsa key mismatch scare with virtual machines. First time seeing the THIS KEY IS NOT THE SAME warning while attempting scp's. I think it had to do something with me dicking around with NFS scripts.

pretty thread imo

Fedora is a pretty good distro tbh. It is usually bleeding edge in regards to software. Usually too bleeding edge to be a stable enterprise server but things get tested out on this platform. It is sponsored by Red Hat and if there are technologies that work well and are stable, they may get integrated into RHEL. Then if RHEL gets it, Centos does some time after.

If you are working with virtual machines, just take a snapshot before you do any configuration changes and revert back if anything happens.

SO guys whats the peng distro right now for a secure yet still usable net laptop?

[finji]

so long story short I tried to dual boot Linux / windows and ended up fucking it up, so I'm stuck with Linux for now. Still getting used to the terminal lol. Is there any DAWs I can use in Linux?

[mks]

Yeah, that sucks. In the future unless you really have a need to dual boot into Linux, you should just use a virtual machine. Virtualbox is free and you can also get the VMware Player which will allow you to boot one virtual machine.

What kind of errors are you getting when you try to boot into the Windows partition?

I think Bitwig can be used with Linux but I have never tried to use a DAW in Linux.
