^Wuhuu, kind of knew it though. There is always talk about docker in their forums. It is bit of a niche distro, but it does so extremely well.
TBX, routers, Pi's and now docker, just shows how strong that distro is. And the packagemanager is quite descent. Me thinks I will fire one up again, and hope I will succeed this time.

^ yup, it's nice to see some sane people still appreciate minimalist approach. I too will soon try alpine again, when i don't feel too lazy packaging and patching things.... :)

[bones]

I'd say that's another endorsement for alpine.

[simgin]

^Oh yes Bones.
Btw, good to have you here again :D

htop update coming soon:

coreutils 8.25 changes the way "ls" handles filenames with spaces and special characters.

Probably no one here noticed, because who uses filenames with spaces or special characters?

Old way:

Code: Select all

gadget: ~ $ ls
normal-filename stupid filename with a single ' quote stupid filename with spaces

New way:

Code: Select all

gadget: ~ $ ls
normal-filename 'stupid filename with a single '\'' quote' 'stupid filename with spaces'

To get the old behavior back, use "ls -N" or add -N to your ls alias.

Thanks for this one. Rarely I use space in filenames, but I didn't know about -N.

I think they need to walk before they run. (or fly in this case :)

[machinebacon]

^ they is a he. Smells as rotten as Snow Linux (take other people's work, rebrand it, change the wallpaper, steal their infrastructure, etc)

[simgin]

^ Ahh yeah, completely forgot about Snow Linux, and for the better. :S
