Indeed, that was a bit of a stretch, even for me :)

is there massive difference between Fedora and Red Hat?

jesse_b

@Jacqueline depends on your definition of massive, but by my definition no

I guess it also depends on if you mean red hat or red hat enterprise linux

Jacqueline

just red hat, not the enterprise one.. I wanted to try fedora but ended up installing red hat for some reason I dont remember in the past.. I was tired of Ubuntu ^^'

jesse_b

well they stopped making/supporting red hat in 2003 so I wouldn't recommend using it

Jacqueline

ah I see, thanks for the tip

Any folks here know Windows?

Q: Can I boot Windows 10 from a recovery USB?

I am preparing to wipe out Windows 10 from an Asus laptop and install Linux Mint. I don't expect to need to start up Windows again on this computer, but I would like to have the option, e.g. for any one-time runs of software that only works on Windows. I believe what I need is a Windows recovery...

Not really the subject of this site, but since I'm semi-regular here I figured I'd check anyway....

And for another fun comment....

I was just reading "Jack and the Beanstalk" to my son, out of a book of fairy tales from 1901.
Who else knew that long before Jack got the magic beans, when he was three months old, the giant killed his (wealthy) father, stole everything he had in the world, burned down his house, and promised to kill Jack's mother if she ever told him who his father was?
And here I thought Jack was just a thieving knave. o_O

Hi everyone, I need to open Chrome with proxy settings. I used the command google-chrome --proxy-server="http://127.0.0.1:8080" But chrome doesn't use the proxy

I tried one other method, mentioned in a website google-chrome --proxy-server="http=127.0.0.1:8080" but that too doesn't work. Chrome is directly connecting to internet without using the proxy.

os is parrotsec. I need Chrome to use burpsuite proxy

Hi, @SagarV. Please post that as a question on the site where more users will be able to see it and help you (and where it will help other users too).

Sagar V

Ok sure.

Also, I don't know the answer, I'm not just being difficult :)

I googled a lot but none of the commands works. Hope somebody will be able to answer it.

@SagarV I don't have any experience with this, but the man page suggests that you are doing everything right. And if the same proxy works with another browser, then it sounds like a bug in chrome.

@SagarV in the question, please don't say "I googled a lot but none worked". Instead, write down what you tried and what the results were. Thanks!

@JeffSchaller They already have:

Q: Google chrome connect directly to Internet even when opened with proxy

I'm using ParrotSec (Debian based) and installed Google Chrome recently. Unlike Firefox, Google Chrome doesn't have an option to set a proxy in the UI instead it uses system proxy. In my case, I wanted it to work with Burp Suite and need Chrome traffic to go through the proxy http://127.0.0.1:808...
