Rolling out several more Linux machines here today and hopefully will be building out some demo environments of what a 100% Linux environment would look like.

Thanks, Ill have a look. I wonder if they are features I would be concerned over.

Just an FYI... These instructions also still work on Mint 18 as well.

@Pete-S said in Installing Snipe-IT on CentOS 7 and MariaDB:

<rant>NodeBB works like crap on all threads that are longer than a page or two. You can't just grab the scroll bar and find all posts. You have to release it and grab it again for the page to realize there are more posts to show. Also you can just use pgup/pgdn either. It will get a couple of posts then stop unless you work really slow. At least on Firefox.

And it's so many round trips to the server just to get a few posts. I which it would get at least a hundred posts or so in one go. Bandwidth needs are minimal. Posts on ML is mostly just a few lines of text. </rant>

I can't stand NodeBB on mobile. It's absolute shit in that aspect. On desktop it's great though. But I'd be on way more of it worked half decently on mobile.

Updates are good, but in the reality of SMB, you cannot find any way to update shit code.

That's only an artifact of SMBs on Windows. I've worked with tons of SMBs on Linux and never see update issues outside of old consultants trying to screw them by creating artificial migration needs. It takes effort to have these problems in the Linux world. Just being lazy, you are pretty likely to stay patched.

Yeah, which isn't very helpful for the issue I've seen (others on the internet have commented on it as well).

So you're thinking one of the dependencies is the issue?

Notice that there is a $500 coupon. So it is $1,100, not $1,600.

The $500 coupon cost $475

Exactly. It is $1624 to buy it, or $25 off a $500 coupon / credit.

It's true, I'm a huge ARM fan.

I thought that about you...

Did you order anything yet?

Not as of yet. Still waiting for a real need....

Looks like SPICE could do it, found this comment on Wikipedia:

Xspice
The X.Org Server driver for the QXL framebuffer device includes a wrapper script[11] which makes it possible to launch an Xorg server whose display is exported via the SPICE protocol. This enables use of SPICE in a remote desktop environment, without requiring QEMU/KVM virtualization.

Some KDE Plasma application shots...

what resolution is your laptop? The last time I run VBox on my 3200 x 1800 resulted in a pretty much useless situation with it.

1600x900

Maybe the more meaningful question is.... which games can't be run on it?

Minecraft. It isn't powerful enough to run Minecraft.

That guy, while valuable, is just a nutter.

We have already downloaded Fedora 23 and started testing it in the lab. openSuse Leap is high on the list of things that will be in heavy use in the NTG Lab. Can't wait for our new cluster to be up. Leap will likely be the first thing that we get installed.
