So, after the heated debate at UDS, I turned byobu on for a couple of my own personal servers (1 Karmic , 2 CentOS).
I have turned it off on one of those machines since, but rather enjoy it for the other two. The main reason is that I ssh into that box 2 or 3 times a day from different places, and I don't necessarily want to see what I saw. I just want a shell prompt to run something on. byobu gets in the way of that. I think this is a case of what kind of car should Ubuntu Server be? Are we trying to produce the feature rich ultra comfortable 7 series luxury sedan, or the spartan, agile, powerful M3 sport coupe? People can always add speakers and a nav computer to the M3, but you can't rip all the stuff out of the 7 series. So I actually think we should strive for a lean, powerful machine, and leave byobu just the way it is. -1 -- Byobu should be enabled by default for initial login to Ubuntu Server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/586546 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is a direct subscriber. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
