  1. Re: "Intel Will Not Support Ubuntu's XMir" What will be the consequences?

    And eventually making their own kernel.

    Seriously, the sooner - the better.
  2. Re: "Intel Will Not Support Ubuntu's XMir" What will be the consequences?

    What? Canonical isn't even on the list of kernel contributors: http://go.linuxfoundation.org/who-writes-linux-2012. (Unlike Intel which is indeed one of the top contributors.)

  4. Re: Multiple expression if statement - Shell script

    If it works, it's correct but if you're going to use it in an actual script, using variable names like $a is a bad idea. And constructs like c[${#c }] are simply unreadable.

    There's an old joke...
  5. Re: "Intel Will Not Support Ubuntu's XMir" What will be the consequences?

    The best possible consequence for the Linux community would be Canonical finally admitting Mir and Unity fiasco and discontinuing both. Sadly it's not going to happen.

    [lubuntu] Re: Need a bit of help with my iptables rules

    It doesn't look like you're building an enterprise firewall so what's the point of filtering output? Malware protection? If so, I'd say don't bother as long as you allow port 80.

    Actually you can make a Winodws PE CD under Linux: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Windows_PE

  8. Re: Multiple expression if statement - Shell script

    Also you need to use parentheses to combine expressions, not square brackets:

    ([ "$s4" -eq Y ] && [ "$s5" -eq "$s4" ] &&...
  9. [xubuntu] Re: Connecting a network storage device via a router.

    [ubuntu] Re: OpenVPN

    TAP and TUN "adapters" are virtual devices that are automatically created for certain types of connections. I guess you only need to disconnect and re-connect.

    while [ 1 -eq 1 ] is a bit ugly. Use while true instead.

    One possible option is to use a bash script to establish connection. Then you could set...
