Microsoft have just made PowerShell (a programming language developed by Jeffrey Snover and available in Windows 7, 8, 10 and other Windows operating systems) open source, and available to Linux and MacOS.

 

Wow !

I use PowerShell at work to do many things, fixing problems and checking for particular settings, it's a really great programming language and anyone with a Windows computer (or now Linux or MacOS) can try it out.

 

It will be made available on GiThub (production version shipped in nano-server), one codebase that runs on Windows and Linux with all the benefits of open source.

From the very beginning PowerShell was very community focused which has driven it to this day. To learn more about this incredible news, watch this video on Channel 9.

Gabe Aul announced that there's a new insider preview available on the fast ring, and here’s what’s new in Build 14316

 

Run native Bash on Ubuntu on Windows: In this build, you can natively run Bash in Windows as announced last week at Build 2016. To do this, you first need to turn on Developer Mode via Settings > Update & security > For developers. Then search for “Windows Features” and choose “Turn Windows features on or off” and enable Windows Subsystem for Linux (Beta). To get Bash installed, open Command Prompt and type “bash”. For more details, see this blog post.

Microsoft has just released System Center 2016 Technical Preview 2

 

and amongst the features it includes are native SSH support, yup that's right you can SSH in to your SCCM 2016 box !

 

<a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_06_2015/post-1-0-64707500-1434148772.png" data-fileid="1408">[img]<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_06_2015/post-1-0-64707500-1434148772_thumb.png[/img]</a>

 

I'll test it shortly and report back, but this really is cool, cool to see Microsoft embracing other operating systems 'methods' of accessing systems and management, it would be like Linux starting to offer PowerShell in the kernel !

Hello,

 

I am new to Linux images (pxe, livecd). I would like to add files to a linux image, like something under etc or var, and have the files be available on the client.

The server I am working on was already configured with a pxe image, and only 2 files are present under the pxe client folder: initrd and vmlinuz. So I am wondering if either of these files contain the dirs /etc, /var, etc..., and how I could add files to them.

 

To give some background, I have done the same thing in Windows. An image in Windows is typically either boot.img or install.img. You can mount either of these to a folder using the Windows SDK tool imagex.exe /mountrw <img file> 1 <mount point>. From here you can add/remove/modify any files you want. Then commit the changes with imagex.exe /unmount <mountpoint> /commit.

 

Can someone provide insight to the linux image creation process, which of the files (initrd, vmlinuz/vmlinux, etc...) contain what for the client boot, or something similar to the Windows Image editing process?

 

Thanks,

Jon

I am building a new PC, if you want to see the specs. they're here : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HQkMgs

I was wondering, would it be possible to burn ubuntu, or any other linux OS onto a disc and treat it like a windows install and boot from disc, or would I have to do something completely different?

Please point me to some good linux device drivers tutorials. I need to create a driver that will read data from I2C bus, parse it and make parsed data available for user space apps.

 

Hi!!

 


I did a tutorial somewhere which talked about using flower brackets { ... } to batch rename files. I can't find where I saw it.

 


I am trying to rename a sequence of PNG images with dates, for example:

 


pic export_00000.png


pic export_00001.png


pic export_00002.png


etc

 


to become


April_21.png


April_21.png


April_22.png


etc

 


Any help would be awesome :)

 

 

I have just installed Linux Mint 17 on a zoostorm pc but after booting up ok, the system operates for periods of half a minute to ten minutes, and then switches off and re-boots. Can anyone advise me as to how to fix this please?

 

many thanks,    G.Marriott

 

 

Hi!!

 

I just installed mintPPC on my PowerBook G4 12" (6,8) expecting it to look like the screen shots at mintPPC.org.  It looks completely different!!!

I downloaded using the mini.iso from a debian mirror site. Have a look at the screen shot of my curent desktop and please let me know what I am actually running.

 

I am brand brand new to Linux and this is my first distribution, so I would very much like to know what it is before I reinstall or try somethhing else. I kinda like the desktop I have now, but it is a bit sluggish and the sound doesn't work.

 

I am downloading a disk image of Ubuntu 14.04 and will try a LiveCD with that, but I really really would like to try MintPPC as from the research I have done, it seems PPC users are quite happy with it.

 

Thank you in advance.
