Q: Possibility of making an OEM install of every Linux distribution

Maybe this question is too broad, but for some Linux distributions I have seen the possibility to create a OEM install to deliver a "out of the box" experience. After some research, I found out that Linux Mint and Ubuntu already have this possibility.I found this in the following articles: htt...

@Seth In their defense, in theory the information that a trained physician can get from webMD and the way they can put that information into context based on their existing knowledge is far more than what a layperson would.

Regarding the apache2.4 tag, is the verdict to delete the tag? or is it to create a synonym? I wouldn't mind retagging all questions if that's what should be done but I don't want to take any action yet as I'm not sure which action to take.

Zanna

maybe I should have refrained from answering in the comments there

Dan

Zanna

I should definitely always refrain from doing that haha

since I am always hammering on about it to the point of being a PITA, I shouldn't also be a total hypocrite

anyway, I'm pretty sure only mods can create that synonym as nobody has enough points to vote on a synonym proposal

passes the buck shamelessly yet again

it seems like people think it should be a synonym

judging by the votes

terdon

@Zanna is there any benefit in deleting it?

Zanna

1:26 PM

Well, I don't think the tag will be misused, so there's no harm in having it, I guess? I suppose people could see that tag and be like, I'll create a tag for every possible version of every program, but maybe that would not be an issue even if it happened. One benefit of deleting a tag is that all the questions with that tag get some editorial attention. That's the attraction for me!

Q: Adding tags to mp3s for use in music players

I'm hoping this is the correct place to ask. Basically, I'm using cmus and have a little bash script to automate downloading, renaming and moving a mp3. However, cmus just lists the song name as its full path in the library (ex: /home/user/music/genre/song.mp3) I'd like to change this by adding ...

bash ubuntu music-player

It's very rare to have a new version of apache, there were a total of 4 in the last 21 years. So I wouldn't worry about having multiple tags for multiple versions (unless someone creates a tag for a minor version of apache, like 2.4.39).

If we retag all questions btw, can't someone else reuse the apache2.4 tag on a new question and we'll end up with the same problem again? Or will the system check for the "create tag privilege" again?

Zanna

@Dan unused tags disappear after a short time, like 24 hours

oh okay

Recently there was a question about installing Ubuntu on the second HDD/SSD, while Windows is installed in the first. This question has been answered before, and was marked as a duplicate. I found the answer to the original question a bit dated and decided to add my updated answer to this question. Could you guys please take a look and tell me if this answer makes sense? Thanks!!!!

Oh, good. I was wrong to prefer the dupe closure to the OT closure in that case. I'm glad it got 3 close votes for OT and got that close reason.

hey @NathanOsman do you know of any web development frameworks that get anywhere near being as complete as Android's UI stuff?

Videonauth

@TheWanderer react maybe?

TheWanderer

4:17 PM

React is frustrating to say the least

Videonauth

oh, OK, well I'm more into python meanwhile so I know not much about Java at all

TheWanderer

it's not so much that Android uses Java

it's the system of defining a layout hierarchy with XML and being able to easily interact with the elements

React is sort of similar, but not as straightforward

Videonauth

Good to know

@TheWanderer next first i have to dig out your email with your paypal :) many things have changed lately and for the better
