I'm sure most people would use the grub rescue shell and not stick a USB live image in or just take the hard drive.
I mean you can even change the root password on a Red Hat system if you have physical access, and it's built in as a function...
I tried this on my Linux Mint 17.2 (desktop) and no dice). Guess I'll try it on a server edition and see what happens.
It's been patched by the main distros already. These articles just annoy me haha.

About to install Linux Mint as my primary OS on company laptop!
-
Well, I was going to install Mint... left my laptop at home today. Oh well, I'll do it tonight.
-
Playing with an SQL query to see how efficient I can make it. The query right now is taking 5-6 minutes to run and I'm hoping to tighten that up a bit. I'm not sure I can though since part of the query is doing a like search on a field that contains free-form text. Yet another puzzle for the day.

Morning meeting with @Minion-Queen and @art_of_shred

@brianlittlejohn I've been running Mint at work on my primary desktop and laptop for about a year now. I'm also running it on my desktop at home (not sure how long). I haven't looked back since!

Same... I'm hoping SteamOS will start forcing developers to Linux in the future but not holding my breath right now.

@anthonyh I would switch my Desktop at work, but I need the RSAT tools on it to manage my windows servers.

Enable remote desktop on one of your servers... and then install it there.

That's what dual-booting is for!
Fortunately (or unfortunately depending how you look at it) I'm not a big gamer, so I have no need for Windows at home. My wife's computer is running Win7 though (I've tried to convince her to give Mint a try, but she just won't budge!) so if I really needed it for something it's there. I also have a MacBook Pro running OS X as well. At work I do have a Windows box for those Windows only things (like XenCenter) too. I've considered just running a VM on my Mint box, but I do like that I can bounce between the two if I'm doing OS updates or whatnot.

Why not put that in a little VM. VirtualBox is perfect for this.

Sweet!

I may do this. I think I will start with my laptop and go from there.

Whole IT team is unwell, I put a sign on my door that reads:
Beware all who enter this plague ridden den: today would be a good day to submit your tickets from a distance.

I wish I could hide behind a sign like that all year long...
