the problem is that bc should totally be one of those utility unix things that is included in every linux by default like awk

I also have a beef with ubuntu not including rsync but I guess you could argue that it's not "classic" enough idk

We can't include every app out of the box. That's what a good app installation experience is for.

if you are worried about a system having the right things installed when you log into it, you have already made at least two mistakes

1. you don't have configuration management set up correctly to guarantee those packages are installed

2. holy poo poo why are you logging into a system interactively? it's 2014, centralize your logging and configuration management

like, i gotta type in my username and pass to log in. That's what interactive means to me. What other way is there?

Why do you think we spent so much time on it?

For reference, the previous "app installation experience" was debating over what photo manager to install by default, since if you didn't like it, users had to hunt through a sea of cardboard box icons trying to figure out what the gently caress "libvalagee-gir-data-1.2" is and why it showed up when you searched for "photoshop"

i know how this game works, no matter how much log traffic i've seen in the wild, you have another definition of "large"

but

i have seen centralized logging done with 80 gpbs of log traffic alone across four continents.

whatever loving network you have, it's 2014, not 1994. we're not stuck with syslog on 10 mbps networks anymore. centralized, indexed, searchable logging is feasible at any scale.

use configuration management + automated deployment to put servers up and down. use your centralized log database to examine application problems.

the only time you should ever need an interactive shell is when one of these things is broken.

that's not our business. we're not going to invest the kind of money to make this a reality when things are just fine how they are. there is centralized logging from one angle but not full system logs because why? you can just get them from the system in questino.

you are a greybeard from the 80s. welcome to the modern world. labor is expensive. computers are cheap. anything that minimizes labor pays for itself in months, not years.

lol at "investing the kind of money" in logging. a setup to centralize logging for 99% of businesses on earth would cost less than a single sysadmin salary

centralizing logging saves you shitloads of labor because developers can examine problems and trends directly instead of leaning on personal connections to systems administrators or filing paperwork with service bureaus

furthermore, avoiding interactive shells on servers is critical not just because automation is faster, but because every interactive shell is an opportunity for human error

it costs a hundred times as much to fix your dumbfuck mistakes as to just not loving break it

Fedora because it uses GNOME 3 by default and doesn't try to "fix" it in stupid ways

imho GNOME 3 is far and away the prettiest looking desktop out there at the moment and that's including OSX

perhaps not the most functional (although it Suits My Needs) but definitely the prettiest
