Fundamentally, xrdp-sesman runs a command with some arguments. It has a

Use a Docker container for now. You may need to map /tmp as a volume
(to get the X11 socket) if it's an X application.
It might be easier to start from a Debian or Alpine container when
building the Dockerfile.

IRQbalance keeps all of the IRQ requests from backing up on a single
CPU. It tries to balance this out in an intelligent way accross all the
CPUs and, when possible, puts the IRQ processing as close to the process

On multiple CentOS systems installed from the same CD using the same

The default nofile ulimit is 1024 soft, 4096 hard.
As you know, the soft limit is *the* limit. A hard limit specifies how
high a process may increase the ulimit; many processes don't attempt
this. Apache on CentOS 6, for example, will easily run over the 1024
soft limit after just 55 server side

As a matter of course, can libpam-tmpdir be used throughout the 14.10

libpam-tmpdir sets $TMP and $TMPDIR to /tmp/user/$(id -u)/ and ensures

Yes that would indicate that there's a key stored somewhere that doesn't
need a known secret, unless pam is storing a key and re-crypting it when you
change passwords (unlikely).

Gents,
Do you think in the future Ubuntu would benefit from an LVM with thin
provisioning default whole-disk layout? At the moment thin
provisioning is not considered stable, and so it would be
inappropriate.
I believe that once LVM thin provisioning is stable, it would be
worthwhile for Ubuntu

Put your mouse pointer in the middle of the screen.
Put your mouse somewhere you can grab it.
Now reach out and grab the mouse.
Where does the pointer end up?
If it winds up in the top right of your screen, it seems you're right
handed. Your arm just goes that way, and your wrist straightens t
I've become disdained with Linux's pet filesystems as of late. This
is for a few very simple reasons:
- ext4 is attempting to be XFS
- btrfs is trying to be ZFS
Let's shoot down btrfs first, because it'll be easier.
btrfs is an enterprise-scale management system similar to LLVM +

The simple way to create a restore point system ...
... is to mount / as an overlay FS, which you periodically merge (to
remove prior restore points), condense into a squashfs (to take a
point backup), or wipe (to restore to backup). This of course means
/home should be its own partition.
