Suspicious Dish posted:remembers when mandrake was a lovely red hat clone and didnt even bother to remove the red hat logos from the cd The funny part is, Mandriva was a lovely Mandrake clone and still felt like a lovely RHEL clone. No loss. I despise RHEL but I'm pretty sure that when someone wants to use a distro with RHEL ancestry, they will just use RHEL. Even dumbass IT departments can use RHEL with their paid tech support. Just imagine their loving phonecalls. "Yeah, I see the dollar bill sign, now what" poo poo.

Not really sure where I fall in under that hierarchy. I'll be working on the subscriptions systems, "the engineering wing of the IT branch" is sort of how it was described. I'm sure I'll know on Monday. I spent a long time talking to the PM/Team about what they do but it was well over a month ago now so I don't really remember. I really liked the team, so I think that bodes well. It's a contract for hire/external recruiter deal, which probably explains why I only have a vague idea of what I'll be doing.

that was pretty much it, like it wasn't exclusive to the Mandriva distributions, we also gave support to companies that used like SUSE Linux and oh, there were some cloud services that I was supposed to help with eventually. but I was too busy with all the OEM stuff and the company broke so I can't claim that I used to sell cloud and cloud based accessories MALE SHOEGAZE posted:this is what i thought, but lo and behold i start at red hat on monday.

Ok, so this isn't really desktop linux (although everyone's desktop probably has a ready icon to the terminal anyway) but yum is officially deprecated in the latest fedora. Hopefully the next major item on the list is renaming fedora to rhel beta or something.

This is about 10 years too late. And dnf is still poo poo compared to that. I'm at least glad the core logic is in C so I can use it from an app without having to fork out to god-awful slow, lock-heavy Python. Yes, I do know communicating through vaguely-defined commands and scraping English text is the UNIX way.

Upgraded my gaming machine to Fedora 22. Needs suiting. GNOME still pretty; still not going near my work machine. I am amazed that the Fedora upgrade process does not have a GUI, or any built-in mechanism, though. With Debian, you just dist-upgrade, with Fedora, I had to run some specialised tool with weird flags.

at least you can upgrade, doesn't mint require a flatten and reinstall for every new version?

Yeah, and it doesn't even default to giving your home directory a separate partition. I like it anyway.

I found it amazing that upgrading Fedora was essentially the same process as upgrading OpenBSD, only more confusing and more poorly documented.

I agree you should shorten it to Mint. It definitely needs a new slogan. Elegance has a lot of negative connotations, and frankly, I don't think Mint is all that elegant. I love Mint, but not for it's "elegance". I love it for it's simplicity. It's stability. It's ease of use. It's simple and appealing default look. It's familiarity of layout by default seeming like Windows. It's "Clean". It's "Fresh". Mint is a great name for it. The slogan is pretty meh compared to how great Mint itself is. Simple. Clean. Fresh. Easy. Stable. Solid. Linux Mint Because my mom can't figure out Windows. Linux Mint It just can't get easier. Linux Mint Your computer always works now. Mint Solid. Easy. Free. Mint What your computer should have been 10 years ago. Mint It just works. Mint No viruses. No crashes. No fees. Mint Your car won't run forever, but now your computer can. Feel free to riff off my ideas, combine the concepts, reword them... But definitely Mint needs a new Image. I think just making it Mint would be a good first step.
