Comment Re:min install (Score 5, Informative) 221

Ubuntu already divides the server from the Desktop. It is split in two, and he didn't need to open his mouth, just do a Google search and he would have found it.

Of course, the distro doesn't have the exact minimal install he needs, but no distro will because everyone has a different set of needed packages. Unless he builds it himself. If only there were a way to do that......I'm pretty sure Gentoo "emerge nginx" will do exactly what he's asking, too.

Also, who on earth is Paul Venezia? He calls himself someone "who builds and maintain large-scale Linux infrastructures." Can that possibly be true?

Comment This is how it should be (Score 2) 182

I work in a WONDERFUL environment. They aren't clock punchers, its about getting the job done. We're not micromanaged and have freedom to try new things.

That isn't a 'wonderful environment,' that's how it should be. If a company weren't like that, I would quit because I know I can do better.

A WONDERFUL company pays for lunches and has free drinks and a nap room. At a minimum.

Also, don't be afraid of layoffs. They are coming, even in the public sector (have you seen the size of the debts?) In this industry, job security comes from being able to find a job quickly, not from staying at a company a long time.

Fine, the reactive document is a manifesto describing a set of architectural principles that supposedly has benefits in the current world.

Agreed.

The agile document is a manifesto describing a set of project management principles that supposedly has benefit in the current world

"project management principles" sounds a lot like "organizing work" to me, which is what the ggp said.

Comment Re:What I hear: Yelp isn't trustworthy (Score 3, Insightful) 249

And to be honest, I haven't ever had much luck with yelp as a review website, either. If a restaurant has 1 star, it's probably accurate, but anything else it could be you really like the place, even though other people gave it three stars.

The people I know who use Yelp successfully use it as a restaurant-finder, not a rater.

Comment Re: The review ecosystem is good and truly broken. (Score 5, Informative) 249

Michelin Guide slants towards a certain style of restaurant (chefs who try to make something 'original' or 'interesting'). If you aren't interested in that kind of food, or you want something good for lunch, then there might not be anything in Michelin guide for you.
