    1. You’ve got Black and White working? I’ve smashed my head against that one before but never got it going.
    2. The issue is that the copy protections check for a physical disk (with various methods) sometimes “Windows” ISO tools work better (CDEmu CloneDrive…) you would need to run them in the same wine prefix. But the easier way might be to find a nocd “patch” for your application ;)

  • Well … I first got into contact with OpenSource due to Gratis: OpenOffice, Firefox etc. Combining my knowledge of OpenSource with my tendency to break stuff (Reinstalling Boston for the nth time) led me to Linux which I first tinkered with and soon fully adapted.

    I had a short hopping phase where I went from Ubuntu (my starter) via Debian (accidentally tried stable) to Arch.

    Stuck with arch on my personal machines now run Ubuntu for my work machine and Debian for Servers.

    My favourite distro is the right tool for the job (see above) but I’m pretty happy with Arch



  • Two additional commands I regularly use as a Sysadmin are

    systemctl status without any unit to list show the general system status (lists units that are running, units that are starting and failed units right at the top) And then systemctl list-units --failed To show me just the failed units and did deeper what the problem is.

    On a properly set up system I should quickly be able to ascertain if everything is “up and running” just by systemds status
