[20:01:06]<Snork>Hey andygraybeal ... it sounds like the farmos installs might be a little more complicated than I had hoped.
[20:01:14]<Snork>Did you get yours working?
[20:01:48]<andygraybeal>yea.. but in ubuntu 14.04 not yet in 12.04 ... but i give up on 12.04 and i'm thinking about migrating.. i just have to move a bunch of websites and data and shit...
[20:02:28]<andygraybeal>it shouldn't matter what OS ... i don't think as long as apache, php and drupal are proper.. which i think they are...
[20:02:31]<Snork>Heh... sounds like my dreams of doing it on Windows are probably going to stay dreams eh? :-)
[20:02:47]<andygraybeal>i don't know anything about windows. why not use ubuntu?
[20:03:03]<Snork>I hate sudo.
[20:03:09]<andygraybeal>what is wrong with sudo?
[20:03:26]<Snork>Oh, that's an argume... I mean discussion for another day. LAWL!
[20:03:41]<andygraybeal>it's just here to keep you from making mistakes.
[20:03:54]<andygraybeal>it's easy enough to be in the habit of using
[20:04:13]<andygraybeal>makes you thikn a bit before you do things.. it's a bad habit to always run as root
[20:04:28]<andygraybeal>i used to do it in the late 90s and early 2000s
[20:04:29]<Snork>I know that with sudo, people fall in to one of three categories: (1) like it (2) hate it and (3) indifferent/don't know - and it is pretty rare that anyone switches from any group to any other.
[20:04:52]<andygraybeal>i didn't know people could hate sudo
[20:05:14]<andygraybeal>you can choose to not use it and use root
[20:05:21]<andygraybeal>it's just not recommended
[20:05:47]<Snork>I have run so many OS's as admin users for so many years and never once have I ever thought "Boy, if I had been logged in as a non-privilaged account I wouldn't have fucked that up". There are some things that also simply don't work as root. eg: try installing VLC as root.
[20:06:23]<andygraybeal>i think your discussion is a bit pointless honestly
[20:06:39]<Snork>I know a lot of people get pretty bent about it... actually use Debian when I use Linux since it allows me to use root as a regular login.
[20:07:01]<andygraybeal>well.. then.. why not debian? why windows?
[20:07:48]<andygraybeal>i didn't mean ubuntu specifically.. i wish i hadn't said it now.. i meant why not use linux? why are you using windows?
[20:08:01]<Snork>Oh don't get me wrong, I think Linux is the better server platform, but there is no reasonable mail server solution for that platform so I have to run a Windows server whether I want to or not. :-(
[20:08:23]<andygraybeal>yes, see i see nothing wrong with postfix and i like the modularity
[20:09:40]<Snork>Hmmm... like what modularity specifically? You mean the ability to include or not include things like amavis or spamassassin or webmail or whatever?
[20:10:08]<andygraybeal>well last we spoke about it you wanted a monolithic type mail server.. and postfix is the opposite of that
[20:11:25]<Snork>I can't really say that hMailServer is monolithic... it does use MySQL (or other databases) and I use SpamAssassin separately though it has it's own [limited] spam detection.
[20:30:09]<andygraybeal>i'm happy i learned of vagrant today
[20:30:17]<andygraybeal>that is cool stuff
