We have already downloaded Fedora 23 and started testing it in the lab. openSuse Leap is high on the list of things that will be in heavy use in the NTG Lab. Can't wait for our new cluster to be up. Leap will likely be the first thing that we get installed.

Here is the CentOS / Red Hat documentation talking about hot swapping with MD.

Very nice, thanks!

Yes and probably install rootkit hunter as well! http://www.tecmint.com/install-linux-rkhunter-rootkit-hunter-in-rhel-centos-and-fedora/

You mean you don't have wobbly windows and all of the fading turned on?

Wibbly wobbly timey wimey?

@Dashrender You move from 7 to 8 for features, not for security. This is a fully patched and fully managed version of 7, so actually staying on it for security, not in spite of it.

Also, remember this is OpenJDK not Oracle JRE so fully open source, visible to the community, audited and no history of security problems.

We moved to a different Linux choice and Fedora 24 released. So closing this out as unneeded.

Good info, thanks!

Hope no one gets this! 🙂

Everyone has been wondering what will happen to Suse and MS now.

I'm resurrecting this topic for suggestion to discussion for the DFW Mango Meetup.

Oh nice.

Once the Installation GUI comes up, I'm going to customize my installation. Desktops are nice to look at from time to time.

It's completely unneeded, but whatever. I want it.

So customize your installation and select "Server with GUI" else select "File and Print Server" for basic file share functionality in a CLI.

Select Done.

Select your partitioning, the basics are fine. Click into and then click done.

Lastly click "Begin Installation"

Set your Root password and follow the onscreen guides. Create additional users if you need them. (Which you should. No one should use the root account for everything)

Fedora Server now gets a new feature called "cloudtoserver" that enables a cloud image to be pulled back into a server.

Yes, I think that RSAT might actually care as if it does the wrong thing it won't see the files.

Right now all my production Linux hosts are on VMs so I have snapshots of the backend infrastructure along with application-level backups of data as needed. Mostly these are EC2 instances running WordPress where I have a base AMI ready to go with offsite BackupBuddy backups. It's served me well in the few times I've had to use it - I can go from a launching an instance to all data recovered in about 15 minutes or less.

With that said, I'm really looking forward to seeing how Veeam's Linux backup works once it's released!

I like the sound of it as well. Hopefully it will be recorded too.

Does it run a flavor of linux that allows it to run all linux apps, most importantly GUI based linux apps?

That's what a full OS is. That was the point that it's not a phone OS but a full desktop.

So I figured it out. Just like most every other problem I've had, it was something stupid I did. I initially started with a user "john" and set up permissions but decided later to use "jhooks". I had accessed the shares with the "john" username first and that's why some worked. I never added the jhooks username to samba (must have forgot since some shares were working) and that's why I couldn't log into the other shares with that username.

That will teach me to try to do this stuff on Friday night when I'm tired.

Well worse things have happened, it could've been a client outage 🙂
