Get Debian

If you're trying to build a home server like I was, consider installing Debian in your machine.

The current release is Jessie 8.7. I linked the image above to the download page. This linux distribution supports the widest range of processor architecture out there. Since most servers I know use older hardware, this distro is very much in the list for me. I highly recommend it in the server. I hesitate to recommend it in desktops because of its free (libre) software policy. This and package versions could become quite dated. But for system administrators its stability and slow paced development lends itself to a server.

Appindicator In Natty Ubuntu 11.04

Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray.  What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list.                Before...  After.

Evolution Mail on GNOME 3.26

There's a slight change in the user interface. A To Do column now appears to the rightmost after the GNOME 3.26 update. Also there's a noticeable stability increase, what with goa-daemon stopping its RAM usage creep. I don't have to kill it every couple of hours.
