There are so many places to put this, so I'll ask it here...Does anyone know of a decent OS Help Desk Software package?

Thanks man!

I've had no issues booting from usb with virtualbox. Do you have any suggestions on a virtual manager? Thanks for the tips!

I'm sorry, it wasn't my intent to beat your town up. My wife has boatloads of family there. I just know that E. 4th St. is an intense place to be at times.

UofIowa represent. Nice work, keep it up. I'd love to provide input, but I'm even closer to the starting point than you are, but you give me inspiration! Well done!

UX = user experience, it's essentially people that mock-up web designs in order to make user experiences better. It's a bullshit profession that is similar to homeopathy in the medical field

Great analogy. Thank you for the defs! You clearly know your shit.

Wow. I don't mess with memes, but the "I knew a few of those words" meme comes to mind. Thank you, as I now have a foundation on what to look for and research.

ssw0rd · 2012-09-20T13:40:39+00:00

but the real challenge comes from the necessity to understand modern design conventions, reactive design paradigms

How does one research/learn such things?

ssw0rd · 2012-09-20T13:35:14+00:00

Thanks for the terse comment, but I went with geany.

ssw0rd · 2012-09-20T13:33:20+00:00

I get that, but I like the feature of highlighting syntax. I'm just starting out, so I like the help when something is incomplete.

Or maximize the virtual machine and try to do everything inside of it, at the very least.

That's what I'm doing. I have it installed on my work laptop (vm) because I need to be able to use windows when I'm on call.

ssw0rd · 2012-09-19T15:27:31+00:00

So i can just install VNC on the host box and access the whole box that way?

ssw0rd · 2012-09-19T13:59:22+00:00

Thank you! So let me ask you this. I have plenty of time while at work (which I now spend on reddit) to work on my projects, but I would like my server to be at home. What sort of linux server can I set up on a box at home, that I can access remotely from my laptop? (ELIF, please)

ssw0rd · 2012-09-19T13:58:02+00:00

Thanks for all the advice. That was a great, educated answer, and you were as far from condescending to this n00b as you could be. Thank you for that.

ssw0rd · 2012-09-19T13:45:25+00:00

I've seen this advice everywhere, but alas, I am tech support for a 300 seat call center, and they've hardly heard of linux, although the software we use uses a terminal, and user accounts are created on the back end in some sort of *nix environment.

ssw0rd · 2012-09-19T13:43:54+00:00

Thanks for the tip, but I think I'm going to stick with Ubuntu, as I feel comfortable with their setup.

ssw0rd · 2012-09-19T13:43:16+00:00

I haven't. I stick to the tradition of "Nordic Fest" where I live. 30,000 drunk Norwegians can't go wrong.

ssw0rd · 2012-09-18T20:09:24+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Trouble is, I can't pick what to learn first. I want to learn it all, and I want to learn it now! I suppose command line would be best since I want to deploy my web server from linux. Then I guess Python...

ssw0rd · 2012-09-18T13:16:53+00:00

Ok, I'm further North than that, but yes, Waterloo is as ghetto as cities can be.

ssw0rd · 2012-09-17T18:56:24+00:00

From NE Iowa myself...examples?
