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!

    That one hasn't been around for a long time, since the Linux kernel started using a SCSI abstraction layer above many of the other storage protocols. Really cool stuff: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/The_Linux_Storage_Stack_Diagram.svg/1161px-The_Linux_Storage_Stack_Diagram.svg.png

    I always thought my drive names changed from hdx to sdx because I started using an SSD, and yet...

    You always learn something new

    I once had to do GRUB related stuff with CentOS 5 (or was it 3?).
    Stuff started with 0 in it and I was kept wondering what I was selecting, because the naming convention in GRUB was different from that in the OS.
