Cool, always nice to see vendors releasing the products.

The acronym SOS (Secure Open Source) really isn't the best one is it?

Save Our Souls.... many people who haven't the slightest clue might immediately think that open source is dangerous and that auditing is required because of "how insecure it must be".

I'm totally for it but I'm curious as to why they couldn't come up with a better name / acronym.

Ouch.....

Yeah I know. It was a "lot" of memory for early 2012. Today it is terribly anaemic.

Wait... wasn't the tractor thing a metaphor?

To me the tractor is about anything huge in a business.

A great example would be an EHR - it's massive and hugely painful to move from one system to another. Assuming you don't go with cloud solution, instead go with a hosted or self hosted solution, you could find yourselves in a position to have have programmers make changes for you. The same goes for anything really though.

This is true. Tractors aren't a metaphor though, they are a key example.

Such a good word to use though, ha ha.

@travisdh1 I agree, not very impressed that Mint included this but did not test it or respond to people with issues. Better to not have it in there.

Do you have the Cinnamon or Mate Desktop? It would make sense that you couldn't run a Gnome application without running in a Gnome environment. Although I could be mistaken.

Just because you run a different GUI doesn't mean you can't run apps meant for a different one. KDE and GNOME apps normally run just fine in the other type of desktop assuming all dependencies are met.

Cinnamon is Gnome 3, though.

Hrm, just gets worse and worse.

Yeah, I'd expect @StrongBad to have good luck here. I see the same thing, doesn't run.

There's only one true professional open source NLE and that's lightworks. However it's not open source yet. They still haven't released the source code..

Could it be going into the nonfree repository and getting a separate license agreement to accept? Canonical made Ubuntu a household name by including other things like this. Anyone else remember having to mess with codecs?

Do they support booting from UEFI yet?

Mine is Kiki's Delivery Service, I just really like the setting and characters.

WTF?

The needs of the many over the needs of the few - holy shit! bad day for open source everywhere.

That is a lot of updates!

Yeah, the GNU/Linux people seem to have died off long ago. It was one of those big trends once upon a time.

Richard Stallman died off? .... (joke)

I swear, in EVERY conversation I've heard him engage, he spins the conversation into the naming (GNU/Linux... NOT Linux). I think in the flick Revolution OS he talked about it no less than 60 times.

That movie also hinted at what a total psycho Eric S Raymond also is with his bizarre explosive behaviour. He's also pretty... pretty extremely sexist and actually not even really that technical, he's more like Stallman. What I do like is him complaining about Stallman, sometimes it's pretty funny what he writes and calls him out on.

I don't remember him being explosive in that movie. Got any examples to refresh my memory?

Well when the interviewer brings up that some people compare open source to communism, something that actually almost never happens in real life, his face turns bright red, he flips out and gives a very 1950s ice America view of life under Marxism. As someone from such a country, it was really strange. It did seem like he was trying to restrain himself.

Haha I forgot about some of those lines. Thanks for the refresh. Been a while since I've watched that flick.

As a matter of correctness... Do you have EPEL /REMI or any other repos installed in your CentOS 7 image?

The script is connecting the Gitlab RPM, that is all. The base image he uses for all of these is CentOS 7 minimal, release 1511 unless he has changed the base template on his scale cluster.

Right. I'm just curious if he has added the epel-release or any other repos to it.

Definitely no EPEL. I often use it, but avoid it in the base image.

I have to look up SSL certification on CentOS 7 now. I've only ever done it on our Barracuda SSL VPN which was just an upload. Here we go

I think you need to look up SSL for Apache if you are trying to encrypt ownCloud. I think someone has a guide on here somewhere about it.

I think @JaredBusch has it in his 8.2 guide. I think he did self signed though. I'm unsure of how to do this on linux with digicert or something similar

It was a self signed for the example. but I use letsencrypt myself. Some clients using ownCloud have StartSSL certs.
