For those dug in minimalists among us, there is also app-admin/cdist.

If you know the shadow mask/dot pitch [1] or the real pixel per inch of

I'm getting strange results from xdpyinfo. I always get 96x96 DPI and
the screen size changes along with the resolution. When I run 'xrandr
--dpi 200x200' and check xdpyinfo, it reports correctly. But if I log
out and back in to xfce4 without doing anything else, it gives me

I have a network of very nearly identical Dell XPS 13 laptops that I
manage with a script. The master pushes the contents of its
filesystem to the others so I only have to manage one system. It's
worked really well over several years. I just got a new Dell XPS 13

This isn't a language issue with Ruby, it's a culture/package-management
one. For a long time, it's been easy to

I would add gitolite to the recommendation list, as it is a small but
powerful system: the administration interface is a git repository as
well, so each repository/user can be individually configured without
accessing system files:

Hi,
I fear I have a severe case of too many trees in the way to see the forest.
I have a git server, it only runs git.
All the sysadmins have full access using ssh://, their keys are in git's
authorized_keys, the repos are owned git:git, MODE 770, etc etc, and it
works like it should.
