Mar 17, 2015 12:23
thats so inflamatory

A: How to get Source code for Ubuntu?

lazyPowerYou have been correctly informed that Ubuntu is indeed an Open Source Project. While its completely possible to compile each package - and spend the hour(s) it will take to undertake such a task - it's not really recommended for first time users. Judging by the varying levels of questions here -...

Q: Can I run Android Apps on Ubuntu Phone?

amonWhen I use the new Ubuntu phone, I hear that I wont be able to use apps for Android.

o/ @Oli really enjoyed reading thepcspy.com/read/making-ssh-secure - wish more people cared enough to post about this stuff with the slew of new linux admins we have popping up.
Nov 7, 2014 16:56

Nov 7, 2014 16:54
@hbdgaf any known CERTS on tomahawk?
Nov 7, 2014 16:53
@OliverSchöning personally i'd put it in its own list file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

I'd be even happier with a web-based admin system I can hand out to a few of the tennants
Nov 7, 2014 16:51
I recently took it down due to DDOS's against the server. It'll be going back online this weekend - and its updated to deploy 1.8, so i'm basically happy.
