I changed 58 workstations to Linux Mint!

posted about 21 hours ago on reddit

I changed 58 workstations to Linux Mint! I work for a building automation company and our main customers are large Banks. Ironically when I came to work here we had no security other than antivirus software. The boss supported a Wild West approach and it has been a disaster, illegal software, nonstop virus/malware outbreaks. I worked day and night trying to support this mess, including software that I did not even know was installed. I tried to get the owner to switch us to an AD environment and ban BYOD. IT’s budget out of our 7 million a year gross was and still near $0, and everyone wanted something for nothing. The owner is all about surfing porn from his office and he doesn’t deny it. No matter what I did I was not able to keep up on the number of infections on just his computer. One week he went on vacation so I installed Linux Mint on a spare computer I built out of recycled junk from around the office. To my amazement he loved it. Everything in the office is now opensource. The firewalls at both of our CoLo’s and at our office are pFsense, our web servers are Ubuntu and our SAS software is all built on apache, postgres, etc. Our office runs OpenERP, Samba, LDAP, Zimbra, MediaWiKi, RT, Asterisk, and Mercurial. The workstations are now Linux Mint, I removed Thunderbird because I want employees to use our emails web client. I removed transmission because we have no need for bit torrent in the office. I updated all the workstations to LibreOffice 4.x, Chrome, PDFsam, Microsoft Fonts, Skype, Kaza, and OpenVPN, GatherPlace on all the laptops, freeCAD for the engineers workstations, InkScape, Scribus, and Blender for Marketing. I started weekly training classes to help with the new software. I manage support using x11VNC via ssh and Bash scripts. Security has never been better, there are no outbreaks, no rouge emails to customers, office traffic is lowest it have ever been. pFsense has been great also, I broke the office in VLANs, I broke VPNs into groups and change key every year or every time we lose an employ, I employed VPN between the office and CoLo’s in addition to the road warror setup. submitted by up2oneghz [link] [5 comments]

Ubuntu 12.10 user here. Why can't you people get good games into the repository/port them to linux and what is up with the mesa drivers?

posted about 23 hours ago on reddit

The excuse that developers are not aware of fucking gamers on linux is an old fucking excuse! Linux Ubuntu has been around since 2004 and has a fair amount of success in the Desktop PC market. It clearly is being used by people who are not geeks too and why would you make assumptions that geeks don't want to blow off some steam by playing games? I browsed through the games in the ubuntu software center and I want to cry myself to sleep. Seriously? What kind of games are these? The only thing worth my while was Battle for Wesnoth and even that gets pretty old too! Nothing adrenaline pumping and fun! I am not an extremist fan of 3D graphics either. As a matter of fact I cannot even play 3D games because the mesa drivers are next to shit! and some other libraries are missing or needs updating or some shit when i ran the games with the terminal.I cannot even play Second Life, something I could HAVE DONE ON A PENTIUM 4 COMPUTER BACK IN THE DAY with the same distro without a graphics card! I am using an Acer Aspire 5742 running Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit with 4 GB of RAM, an Intel® Core™ i3 CPU M 370 @ 2.40GHz × 4 and some unknown ironlake mobile series integrated graphics card from intel. The integrated graphics card series is unknown as I tried looking hard to find the specs and I could not find it both in Windows and in Ubuntu.. Previously on Windows 7 64-bit before I installed Ubuntu, I could play Secondlife, render creations in Blender good and play 3D games without these kind of stupid problems. I hope Canonical is aware of these problems as this is something that can drive a fair amount of people away from the Distro and I am not installing Wine either. Telling me to use Wine is detrimental to the progress of linux ubuntu itself. Why should I go back to using something windows-like? Why can you just make linux versions of the fucking games or make open source games that do not fucking suck so much? It has been 8 years People! 8 Fucking years! Think about it! submitted by clownprincejutsu [link] [comment]

Why do you guys dislike closed source software?

posted 1 day ago on reddit

First of all, this is something I’ve been wondering ever since i switched to Linux, and i dont have anything against open or closed source. But it seems that there is a lot of hate towards closed source software (or am i wrong?). I can see from a developer’s side of view that releasing something closed source would be better for them rather than giving out for free all of your work. But in your honest opinion, why do you prefer open source? submitted by Anguiish [link] [4 comments]

Is it possible to port package management tools to different distributions - for example, using apt-get and .deb packages with OpenSUSE or Fedora?

posted 1 day ago on reddit

If it is possible, would it then be possible to roll a distro that can install any package that's out there in any format? Or is there something inherent about linux flavors that allow them to only use a certain package format on the system? (I know that it's possible to convert packages to different formats, but that's not what I'm asking. I say this because I Googled the question and all I found were people recommending conversion tools). submitted by AnticitizenPrime [link] [comment]
