I thought 17 already has been for a while. https://www.oracle.com/news/announcement/oracle-releases-java-17-2021-09-14/ Easy to learn is kind of subjective :D

To me, vi and emacs qualify. I can just about everything I can do in Word. Even some things Word can't do.

If performance matters, then compiled byte code will always beat interpreted run time languages. Not sure Bash qualifies as "high level" :) I use it more than anything else. It is handy for a lot of things. But you can't do things like make system calls directly. Most of the time you're...

A directory isn't really a filesystem. You would need to do this with fdisk or LVM or some way to make a real filesystem partition, not just a directory on a filesystem. Then you make the partition the size you want the image to be. Around 700 MB for a CD, about 4.6GB for a DVD, maybe bigger...

CIDR is simply just another notation style. For example... 255.255.255.0 = /24 in CIDR 255.255.255.128 = /25 In VirtualBox, if you want your network to be the same subnet as your host system changed the 'NAT' network setting to 'Bridged'.

Is this a systemd distro? Try this as root systemctl set-default graphical.target I have to admit, I find it a little ironic,you are trying to run X in a distro called "anti"X! :)

That is a good point. I admit I am spoiled here. But it is a consideration as to why someone might choose a specific distro over another one. I do have a question however... When you download the "all in one" (everything on the DVD/iso image) distro. Isn't it just as big? In fact it seems...

Someone created a thread here a while back, about the state of the Linux desktop. They say it lacks development compared to Windows. I suppose that could be true, I don't know. But I do have to admit... that from a Desktop Environment, Window Mngr perspective... but other than wayland (which...

I always thought everyone knew this, but apparently it's new to some. Most of the newer releases of Redhat are based on an older version of Fedora. (Since Redhat 4 anyway) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux Now obviously, this goes for alll the Redhat Clones as well. (...

If you do a netinstall instead of a WorkStation install. You can pick the specific packages during install. To each his own. I find MATE more functional.

I think you could do all of this in NetworkManager. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/networking_guide/sec-configure_802_1q_vlan_tagging_using_the_command_line_tool_nmcli

That just tells what's going to be updated. You get the same info with a.. dnf update But dnf does cache of a timer. So if you want to force a rescan of new packages, you can do a dnf clean all

Changes daily. Just pick one and go with it. They are all pretty similar. https://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-Slim-Desktop-Tower-Celeron-4GB-1TB-Desktop-Tower/353685973?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=101115894

Looks like a GSM modem. Are you trying to connect to a cell tower? Do you have a SIM card with credentials?

What, no fortran? :)
