when installing ubuntu using the 'expert' mode, it asks what kernel to install. Whats the difference between say a server kernel vs generic vs virtual vs signed-image etc?
virtual is stripped down and has no extraneous stuff
generic has everything, desktop has higher timer resolution (At least, it did, i haven't looked in years)
oh, according to ubuntu docs, there's no difference between desktop and server since 12.04
And signed-image likely has a UEFI secure-boot signature, probably
since pkg_delete is gone, anyone have a sane way of uninstalling all packages with pkg?
i suppose i could just script some loop but would like a cleaner way
ie built in fbsd
 neish pkg delete -a
-a  Deletes all installed packages from the system and empties the database.
neish: what os removed pkg_delete ?
FreeBSD
When FreeBSD went 100% pkgng
all the pkg_ tools are gone, replaced by pkg(8)
(And it's soooo fast <3)
brycec: thanks bro ill give it a try
statd is running as pid 666.
of course it is
yeah, pkg is pretty sweet
i likes it
