Sometimes you have multiple reboots before it recognizes that you installed the desired update.
It must be nice to know that no matter how sh*tty your product gets, your users will continue to use it. -

It feels like #WinXP before SP2 and the adoption of Patch Tuesday.
Today: Update and reboot.
Two days later: Update and reboot.
Two or three days after that: Update and reboot. -

It's been a long time since I've seen the "Teletubbies Hill" initial screen (so called because the #Teletubbies have a similar hillscape during their intro theme).In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

Which would be very good if we went to VDI, but stinks if you have people connecting from numerous different physical and network environments and something that sounds great in HQ hinders productivity in the field.
I spent a couple of hours last night trying to talk someone through connecting, but her computer could not be connected.

Businesses were using NT while home users were on 9x. #WinXP was when NT came to home users. In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

I came from #Win95 to #SuSE, then #Red_Hat (this was before the #RHEL / #Fedora split), #Caldera OpenLinux, Fedora, #WinXP, #LinuxMint and others. Over the years, whenever I use a #GNOME based system, I'm soon dissatisfied, but #KDE mostly looks and works the way I expect.
