  • I wouldn't be worried about buying AMD in terms of thermals, their laptop CPUs are fine. Usually, it's the WiFi card that poses the biggest problem in terms of driver availability, in which case you can purchase an Intel WiFi card from Amazon for $15-$20. Battery and "optimizations" depend on your config and distro. Most plug-and-play distros should be fine OOTB, if you're setting up Arch from scratch I assume you don't have a problem in looking for drivers/compiling code.

    Edit: I personally do not suggest that anyone buys a new laptop unless they do not have a choice (horrible used market or the like). There is a heavy mark-up on new devices and the used market in the West (especially in the US) is excellent if you're OK with fiddling with some parts of your laptop (or not - sometimes you don't even need to do that). But being in c/linux that's about granted, eh?

  • Hello, from next time please try and include commentary on a feature/aspect/application on Linux that forms the basis for your post. I won't delete/lock it but since this is a linux community, I would like to see posts a little more biased towards *nix instead of being perfectly agnostic.

    I tend to be fairly laid back in my management of communities but I'm sure we agree that we'd like to see posts mention *nix-specific paradigms if possible on a linux community page.

    Thanks

  • This is the kind of product I want to see. Inexpensive NAS hardware and chassis which lets the user install their own OS. I wouldn't be complaining this much if we could do that with Synology's entry-level DS line but we can't and it's annoying because they and QNAP are some of the few who price the entry-level well (in my opinion, that is). It's really hard to build an entry-level NAS under $200 unless you're going used and have a chassis handy.

    Good luck and let us know how it goes. I should bookmark these guys

  • Is there a problem though? Yes they does should be concentrating on the language they need to speak when in said country, but it a very good idea to have some grasp of English when you go abroad, just in case you cannot grasp communication from the other party. You don't want to be stuck in Germany speaking just Vietnamese

  • That was a bit sarcastic, but my Linux servers are indeed disconnected. I'd create my personal mirror (preferably on BSD and update from there). Now that the cat is out of the bag though, I feel stupid. Really, for CUPS??? Are you kidding me???

  • Wtf???? "All GNU/Linux"???? This guy made me think Linus personally had to descend to Kernel-land and fix perhaps the most horrendous memory bug in existence. But no, surely CUPS IS ON EVERY MACHINE, RIGHT??????????

    Fuck you to whoever blew this out of proportion.
