if you already know another programming language, sure.

isn't managing Ruby installs already a huge pita

doesn't that mean the cm has to do some kind of bootstrapping to get Ruby working

also what's wrong with ansible, I haven't used any of these but lacking Ruby sounds like a good feature to have

SERVER TALK

Let's talk about backups!

When will Open Source write something as good as Time Machine?

Who still uses Amanda? Has anyone actually ever used deja dup?

rsnapshot predates Time Machine I think and creates the same resultant file structure. So what is missing as usual is the UI.

I used Amanda with AFS, surprisingly not terrible. I like Unicode too much though so dumped AFS for the usual SMB/NFS combo.

all dependencies, including ruby itself, are bundled into the chef/puppet packages. you almost never need to touch the chef ruby. it's a bad sign if you think you do

for obvious reasons it would be kinda dangerous to have your cfg management running on the system ruby

i do not like the agentless model

it wants to do everything over ssh

instead of ruby or the puppet dsl, it has its own declarative language based on yaml

i just really do not like it

if you hate ruby, puppet is for you

to reiterate, the puppet dsl is a real dsl. it is not some kind of heinous ruby bullshit. it is a parsed, declarative language that is considerably saner than ruby

if you don't know ruby you probably want to use puppet instead of chef. puppet is just as good, and in some ways better. most notably: you do not have to learn ruby

i use chef locally all the time, so i knew how to do it off the top of my head. i can't remember how to do it with puppet. never used puppet except for work, where it's all enterprisey and server-based

I tried to learn Python in high school and couldn't wrap my head around writing code in it, if that tells you anything.

if you want to be completely certain, lenovo has a "certified for linux" program. the x250 isn't on their matrix yet, but the x1 carbon is

i assume the x250 will get added once an rhel or ubuntu release includes the needed graphics drivers rather than getting them from git or something

thanks nbsd. i'm looking to install centos 7 so it's really helpful that they say which laptops are rhel 7 certified.

kde 5 is the first one not to look like trash since kde 2. and kde 2 still looks better than every slavish apple osx/ios ripoff out there today.

on an irssi vm i might understand not bothering, seeing as there is nothing to configure, no services running, and nothing to maintain. set it to patch itself and you're done, right?

atomicthumbs wants to run a bigass cms thing on his vm. it's gonna be a configuration and maintenance hairball. that's what's gonna happen. cfg mgmt exists to help you unfuck yourself.
