Compare ClearOS with Zentyal

I will say however, that I think it's faster to initially build a VM with the GUI (like Virt-Manager). It's arguably easier to copy the VM through the GUI vs copying the XML file. I can script copying the XML, not script the GUI portion.

And so many things feel so arbitrary.

The other day I think I was using the find command or something, and found out that there is an alias "simplified" version of the command that overwrites the "real" one. So it goes, if you want the ability to use all the command options, you have to specifically reference the executable location like /usr/bin/find because this gives full options and the useless simplified secret alias version doesn't have all the options.

I hate little "gotchas" like this. So arbitrary, so useless and "undocumented".

It sounds like you're assuming that you can't use options other than what are in the alias, but you can still use all command line options when something has an alias, doesn't matter.

Wikipedia Alias Page Aliases were meant to simplify usage.

What overwrites find? What OS were you on? I've never seen that. It does not appear to be happening on my systems.

I was reading a how-to for doing some advanced file-finding. It was either the find command or some other one. It said that their was a simplified alias version (built in to Bash?) that didn't have the advanced switches I needed, so they said to always reference the usr/bin version directly when using it.

Wish I could find it for you.

If you do find it, be sure to throw it away, uck.
