Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Linux: Terminal hacking, downloading shell scripts from github

    Installing OS today:

    Linux: click a couple of buttons, enter username and password

    They are probably like me, thinking that the year 2000 was 10 years ago.

    thinking that the year 2000 was 10 years ago.

    This is patently absurd, 10 years ago was 1994.

    Hi everyone, I'm not even a year old!

    And I don’t think GitHub existed in 2000. Probably even git.

    Yeah, it was SourceForge and SVN.

    Around that time I moved from a company that was using perforce to one using cvs.

    Git was released in ‘05, GitHub ‘08.
