@black3dynamite cool... If not official docs what else? Strange...

It is the official docs. I'm just being stubborn about some screenshots that doesn't go with the current release.

While I found where OSX stores the user printer preferences, but copying a "working version of preferences" to the user workstation and directory doesn't set the preferences.

Still investigating. May require a restart when doing this remotely. . .

Full system restart or just the cups service?

Just did a full system restart and no change. While the plist file is there, and the user has owner access to it, the changes don't appear to take effect.

Not sure why.

Everytime I want to do something, I would make it a powershell script and save it.

With remote powershell enabled on all workstations, it should be fairly effortless to maintain.

Some individual tasks might take more time than it seems worth at first to figure out how to script it, but int he long run it will be the best solution.

So you're saying I should keep the workstations as they are, but administer them as a group by using remote powershell?

Yes. For example, somewhere on here, I have a Poweshell script posted that let's you install printers.

Edit: Here is that post

I ask - does saying Linux really matter though? Isn't it much more important to actually list the distro? At least the OP asked specifically Linux Distro.

Which is why I listed the specific distribution and desktop. imo, it should always be linux as it is a generic term. Kind of like Windows, which one?

I read your statement like this "it should always be linux as it is a generic term.

HUH? so which side are you on?

Personally - I think the term linux should be dropped by everyone (well at least by 99.9%) because it's nearly meaningless.

Asking if something runs on linux is meaningless. Asking if something runs on Fedora or Ubuntu has meaning - because you know the actual OS you'll be running them on.

the generic nature of 'linux' is one of the most confounding confusers for laypeople. We should just drop it. it doesn't matter. We never talk about the Windows Kernel, or the Mac OS Kernel - We talk about Windows 10 (OK, we're starting to run into a problem here too because there are 7 versions of Windows 10 - and the same can be said for Mac OS). But if we drop the word linux, people can start talking about Fedora or Ubuntu, etc and suddenly the world becomes a smaller, much more manageable place.

Actually Linux should mean the same as Windows or MacOS anymore as you pointed out.

What specific build is what matters. W10R1510, W10R1809, Fedora, MacOS wtf ever those are called.

No - I disagree - Linux isn't like Windows or MacOS at all - Linux is not an OS - Windows/MacOS are OSes.

If you say, runs on Windows, you can be pretty damned sure it's going to run on Windows 10. if you say it runs on Linux, you have no clue if that's Fedora, Ubuntu, etc. And while we might be able to get it to work, the layperson would never even try with the requires to get onto a linux Distro it's not designed for.

Actually if it says runs on linux, it will run on pretty much all of them.

The developer may only provide binaries or packages for certain specific distros. But if it builds on one, it will build on pretty much all of them.

I gave you that out already - but I also said - normals will never do that. Which is the whole purpose of my comments... it's about normals, laypeople. Not IT pros.

people like me !
Well worse than me I guess.

Just upgraded a SuiteCRM instance in Vultr.

The reboot step was fast as fuck. ❤ Vultr.

@matteo-nunziati said in Purchasing new workstations with monitors:

here in Italy there is no real difference in price buying from dell of any online shop (any brand). so I usually buy monitors with pcs.

Yeah nuc are nice, but if you assembly one you also had to add the windows tax (considering standard office workflow, linux is not cosidered here) and it doesn't worth anymore.

I'm currently working with a microsoft oem. then they deploy nucs internally and it really worths it!

So you do the Intel NUCS and like them? I dont know if there is a Dell or HP equivalent system.

Dell Mini are very unlikely candidates for this, NUCs are awesome and we use it with Volume License for their OS.

I just face palmed reading that first paragraph:
New features
LVM RAID support
One of the biggest features of blivet-gui 2.0 is support of LVM RAID. When adding a new LV, you can now choose RAID level for it. LVM supports the same RAID types mdraid does but you can choose different level for every logical volume so it's more flexible than using LVM on top of an mdraid.

LVM still uses md raid, just like you would normally.

That said, people like their gui for all the things, why not have yet another tool to manage everything.
