Because of in-fighting.
And have multiple copies in at least two locations of anything truly important to guard against disaster (such as a fire or regionally appropriate natural disaster). I got a spare drive to copy all the music that I’ve made and sent it to my father in a different part of the country. I could lose everything and be pretty bummed, but not that (without severe depression). I also endorse use of a safe deposit box at a bank if you don’t have someone who can hold data in a different city.
This is great. Just to let you know, whatever decision you make is wrong. Cheers!
Your sister has good taste.
I guess Microsoft is stepping up their campaign against OSS.
/s I know it’s a bad joke. MS contributes a lot to OSS. It would have worked better in the Ballmer era.
I think you’re looking for stone tablets.
That’s the way to do it. Just keep bringing data forward even for media that sits in a drawer.
I’m sure they considered anyone telling them they needed to spend money to be a pain in the ass the same way companies don’t follow the recommendations of their IT departments.
Quick, print them all out now before they’re gone!
Sounds like definitely Intel. Macs have EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) rather than BIOS. Attach the install media and hold Option when powering up. This will take you to the EFI boot loader, where you should see icons for each potential startup disk. Select the Linux installer and hit Return or click the button to advance.
I don’t know which distros have the best support for different generations of Apple hardware. You should be able to get some sense of whether the distro is a good candidate from observing whether the mouse and kbd are functional before you commit to the install.
That’s what I’d always thought. Thanks for correcting the bad info from the image. I’d hate to carry that bad info forward.
Copy a live cd iso using dd.
No one ever looks at /var? Isn’t that where my Apache dir lives? Sorry, I’ve been off Linux for a while. I think I put Git in there as well.
I never understood the title for /usr. Now I do. Thanks!
It’s had a good run. Let the little guy have a rest. Whatever you replace it with will consume less electricity.
This is interesting analysis that I hadn’t considered. Thanks for clarifying.
We are not the same.
