Woo, after getting comfortable with linux ways through ubuntu, I manned up and installed arch/awsome.
It's awesome!
Btw, whats the name of the porgram/script you guys use to make thoes fancy system info printouts?
[QUOTE=awh;38311519]Oh, it wasn't an inoperability problem, just that it's open and nice and full of rainbows. Linux guys like us like that, right? You can go and hack on the code if you want and put up a custom build to use.[/QUOTE]
That's not really special to OpenVPN, that's what I meant.
[QUOTE=nikomo;38319797]If they even have a package, they usually have a dependency on some obscure old package that no longer exists.
I tried compiling a couple of them myself, but all the ones I tried suffer from the same dependency problem, it would appear they're just old as shit and forgotten.[/QUOTE]
I'm not sure what dependencies that are so old. Just install GCC and xcb-dev, then compile awesome. Done.

Awesome requires X, I have less than good experiences with X11 forwarding over networks, the latency is a nightmare.

Oh, I misread what you wrote. Try tmux maybe? I'm not sure if it does what you need, but that really must be all I've got :(
I never got used to tmux...
I'll give it another try.
Screen maybe?
hey guys im doing something on solaris 10, in terminal in bash, i need to create a script to check if anonymous ftp is allowed and print "exception:yes" if it is allowed, or print "exception:no" if it is not allowed.
what i know is i have full root access and i know that "guestserver" is not in /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess which means anonymous ftp is allowed. I know using awk and if else statement can work but im kinda stuck.
[code]
#!/bin/bash
awk -F: '/guestserver/ {print "exception:no"; else print "exception:yes"; } ' /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess
[/code]
Any help?
[code]grep -q "^guestserver$" /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess && echo "exception:no" || echo "exception:yes"[/code]
That's how I would do it with grep

I did it like this
[code]
#!/bin/bash
grep -q "^guestserver$" /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess && echo "Exception: No, Anon FTP is disabled" || echo "Exception: Yes, Anon FTP is enabled"
[/code]
But when executing, the terminal returned
[code]
grep: illegal option -- q
usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file...
[/code]
Yet it manages to print out "Exception: Yes, Anon FTP is enabled"
for both situations when guestserver is in /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess and when it is not.

It's supposed to be the quiet flag, maybe it's different on solaris.

man grep also states that -q is for quiet, hmmm
Oh my god how did I not know this before, vim is the most amazing thing ever made. It's soooo freaking powerful and way faster to navigate with just the keyboard.

To clarify I was using sublimetext 2 when I had ubuntu. But now I'm on a terminal high, and kinda wish there was a terminal based web browser :V

so are they any screenshots of Steam for Linux now that it's in beta? It's an invite only beta though

It has been solved, i modified your line a little. Thanks!
I have another question, i need to write a bash script also in solaris 10 that checks if "all passwords are shadowed".
If they are shadowed, print "Exception: NO", if they aren't, print "exception:Yes".
The problem here is how do i go about checking that all my passwords are shadowed?
Do you guys know any good free OpenVPN servers that can be used? I want to use Steam in school to chat with people and work on my tf2 replays for class but I can't do it without connectivity.
E17 Alpha release!

You mean that there's open implementations of L2TP/IPsec? I haven't seen any, but I'm sure there are.
Point is you wouldn't use that instead of the built in (closed) OS support.

ST2 > vim imo. Some things can't be done in a terminal without hacky plugins (code completion comes to mind mainly).

Yes, there's [url=http://ultravpn.fr]UltraVPN[/url] (but their site is a little fucked right now), and [url=http://proxpn.com]proXPN[/url] too.
But you'd need admin perms to install the TAP adapter for OpenVPN on the client box anyway.

I wonder if they're still using the terrible default theme they've had for the last 3 years or so..I'd hope they'd use detourious as default or something but eh.
Random drive-by dumbing?
can someone please tell me how to boot into ubuntu since after installing it alongside windows 8(using that option instead of custom partitioning because i'm a lazy asshole) my computer still just boots straight to windows.
What's a good DE with a file bar/title bar like Unity, but with a functional launcher like Windows 7's/Cinnamon's?

What do you mean file bar/title bar?
[QUOTE=Lyoko774;38335011]What do you mean file bar/title bar?[/QUOTE]
Say a window is maximized. The title bar is in the top, moving the cursor there would fade the title, revealing window controls and a file bar with File, Edit, etc. Like with Ubuntu.

I think that's pretty much unique to Unity. GNOME 3 has something sorta like it, I think.
Yay funtoo!
EDIT: Meh, back to arch. AUR is just too useful.
I'll have to make my own KDE packages without akonadi/nepomuk.
