Arch will give you a deeper view than Mint, including having to make choices for yourself, about every component you wish to use.

Happy birthday, my beautiful Arch! I've only been a devotee since October, 2010, and I don't know how I got along without it. While others are fighting with old. outdated bugs, I get to fight only the newest, shiniest bugs.
Re:Syslog woes on Monday August 22, 2011 @01:04PM (#2913145)
We do a lot of ruby apps, avoiding rails as much as possible, but Redmine is one we use often. In all of our apps we use the Runit process supervisor to launch them, with svlogd logging each individual process. It has proven more than up to the task of keeping up with the busiest of our logging needs, and has many advanced features simply configured that other loggers lack. Worth checking out as an alternative, as you don't have to replace your syslogger to use it. See http://rubyists.github.com/2011/05/02/runit-for-ruby-and-eve... for more info

My apologies, then. I've seen plenty of nmc/btc announcements here and did not think it out of place.

Spam because a user was happy with it? Happy enough to go to some new forum and proclaim it? I don't understand. Or was your sarcasm not sarcasm?
Would be nice to have audio.

Problem is the only upstart distribution we tried (with the runit-run package in ubuntu) rendered the system unbootable. This seems to be the case with everything past Karmic.

Thanks for those links, it's good to see others using runit, I'm afraid because if its lack of popularity it's been overlooked as a sysv replacement in favor of systemd, upstart, and others. Runit's maturity should be a big edge, when thinking about a replacement PID 1.
it took less than a week to 'know' the time in beats. we've use this to coordinate time on our team, spread from Texas to EU to Japan.

I'm doing Brooklyn's Best in arlington, tx or Rocco's Pizza in Fort Worth, TX, both around $8/pie.

Good points all around. We'll definitely consider a DOW prefix, for social time that really fits the usage.

That's like 10 pizzas!
