That depends on your use case. I have been using it for cloud instances and as the base in Docker containers. No issues, yet.

I'm thinking it's time to put a fresh drive in the box, load 16.04, make sure Classic or Flashback or whatever they call good old Gnome these days, and then copy all my stuff from 14.04.

Re: [PLUG] Any Ubuntu 16 users?
I use Ubuntu Mate with Compiz, works great, only niggle is that the wireless will forget that there are connections and I have to restart that part, but the rest is great. I use it in two languages, can not complain at all.

[PLUG] executing a shell script from postfix?
A few weeks ago, I asked for ideas about an email robot script to automagically authenticate psu wifi, so that I enter the robot's address into the PSU guest wifi request page and let the robot access the URL. Almost there! I would like to figure out how to redirect the email to the script below. Pretend the following is (for example) a line in /etc/postfix/aliases.db that actually executes: psu: "| /bin/grep https | /bin/sed 'sX.*\(https://sentinel.net.pdx.edu/activate/email/[0-9a-f]*\).*X/usr/bin/curl -s \1X' | /bin/sh > /dev/null" Where should I actually put this one line script to make it execute when postfix gets an email to p...@keithl.com ? What more should I do to secure it against malformed emails and minimize the script's privileges to the bare minimum? Keith P.S.: how it works: it uses grep to find the line in the email (from PSU's authentication bot) with the https link, then feeds that line into sed to extract the weblink, which ends with a random hexidecimal number. I substitute the match "\1" into the string /usr/bin/curl -s [matched characters here] then pipe the string as a command into /bin/sh which executes curl. Results from curl go into /dev/null . The -s means curl runs silently, without displaying download progress. P.P.S.: Note to evildoers: I will use a different email address than "p...@keithl.com". It is true I am lazy, but I don't want to create extra hassles for PSU if some twit starts hammering my mail server. -- Keith Lofstrom kei...@keithl.com - Don't waste your vote in 2016!
