From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My current issue is i see you guys constantly having issues, editing files etc.

Is it not stable?

Can you not set it up and then not have ongoing issues?

Maybe you are seeing issues as the people who don't have issues rarely post.

What's your setup? I can tell you if there are things you might have issues with.

It's very old, i would have to take a look later on, but due to the age of the hardware i sas planning a new build.

I did consider the "survival bias" probably not thenright term. But thats whyi was asking here obviously squeaky wheels get the oil.
