[PLUG] GalliumOS on Toshiba Chromebook 2 (2015)
Not to put anyone off of Joey's dell, but this seems like an opportune moment to mention my recent experience with turning a Toshiba Chromebook 2 (the 2015 gandof, rather than the 2014 version) into a "real linux" machine with GalliumOS. I needed to do a BIOS update, but I can dual-boot to ChromeOS if I want (mostly I don't). It has 16g of SSD, but it has a nicer display (1920x1080) than most Chromebooks (except the Pixel), and 4MB of RAM, which is nicer than many as well. Like most Chromebooks, it has an SD card slot, USB3, HDMI, 802.11ac radio. It is about $300 on Amazon. The case is a little "cheap" feeling, silver plastic, but for $300 it's a decent, light-weight laptop for carrying around. The keyboard (like most Chromebooks) takes a little getting used to, and there is a common screw-loss syndrome you should be aware of. Otherwise, generally pleased. -- Russell Senior, President russ...@personaltelco.net ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
[PLUG] documented sudo?
I'm transitioning machines to a RHEL 7.x derived distro from prehistoric RHEL 5.x. I am encountering selinux, firewalld, systemd, and other command-line configured tools, which produce many little disconnected XML files, rather than the /etc configuration files I am used to. I put lots of comments with observations, intent, hints, helpful webpages, and other useful information in my config files, and use those comments to get up to speed years later, when I repair or upgrade those files. This is difficult to do with the *d command-line tools. I would expect there would be something like a "dodo" command, pronounced "dew-dew" (*) and is short for "documented do". This gives the user an opportunity to add documentation to every sudo, timed and in context with every other dodo, per subsystem and in sequence. Syntax errors would be treated separately, corrections aided. This seems like an obvious help tool for sysadmin using the new config-file-free tools, so it probably exists. What is it called? If it does not, would someone please earn fame and fortune by writing it? Keith (*) dodo pronounced "dew-dew" indicates cognoscenti who've got their s**t together. Pronounced "doe-doe", like the extinct flightless bird, indicates a clueless newbie. I hope this is an additional incentive to snarky tool writers to write this for me. -- Keith Lofstrom kei...@keithl.com ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
