Hey! That Ain't Right!

No Slackware?

I'm sad.

re: ain't right

OMG! How could I have forgotten Slackware? It was a decision to skip Debian, but I didn't consider slackware. ...and me a supposed fan.

But what I did this time was to basically use the top 10 from Distrowatch.com's Page Hit Ranking, but replacing Debian with Other so I could keep my choice list down to 10.

well there's the problem

you based your choices on the work of an over rated fanboy site.

Your original work far exceeds theirs Susan, make them follow you, not the other way around.

oops

oops

re: ain't right

What? No Debian?

I'm still sad. Wink

P.S. srlinuxx... it's great to be here. I've been meaning to sign on an account here for ages, just keeps slipping my swiss cheese brain. I'm in now, though. I think I'll feature your site on my blog today, actually. Regards, ~Eric, the Nocturnal Slacker

re: ain't right

I'm sad too about Debian and Slackware.

I've voted for Arch as it is my favorite one, but my second fav. is Slackware and my third is Debian. All the rest start to share places below this point.

But my second and third option not here?. Anyway doing this kind of polls will always make someone sad, it is almost impossible to put all the list, and a poll with 50 options.. Well might not look too good either.

Great site Susan, and I like yours too, Nocturnal Slacker.

Thank you, Guillermo! Your

Thank you, Guillermo! Your Linux Operating System blog has been a favorite of mine for quite a while. Smile

Yay ArchLinux!

Also lol @ fake PCLOS votes.

Edit:. I take that back. There is always a chance all PCLOS users on earth actually voted here.

Hits on DW don't matter. When

Hits on DW don't matter. When it comes to the best Linux OS, it's PCLOS!

re: big P cheat

Yaw be stuffing the ballot box!

In fairness, everybody run to your favorite's forum and tell them to come vote too.

So

I should head on over to Debian forum and tell them to come here and vote for other?

I don't see that going over to well.

Might make a bigger fuss than it's worth. heh heh.

re: So

Yes, I feel bad I left Debian out. Shan't happen again.

I'm just givin you a hard time

I'm just givin you a hard time. I don't get wound up about these things anymore. I just keep using my top tried and true and let popularity polls come and go.

but, just in case I wasn't obvious enough the first time, I voted other because my top preferred is (1)Debian. then comes (2)CentOS and (3)opensuse and yes, PCLOS still lands in at a solid number 4 for me.

Isn't that how lots of these

Hey - re: big P cheat

Isn't that how lots of these things get passed on by using Forums and other social media.

If that is what happened in this case I would say that the people on that forum care about their distro and show pride in it by voting for it.

BTW, I voted for another distro (1 of 3 votes at present Sad

Stuffing!

Hmm...

Don't know whether or not I should be surprised that Debian didn't make it onto this list.

Surprised!

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
