From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Easy fleet management tools

Linux is the king of fleet management tools.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

That would be Windows.

For server config management there are lots of tools. FreeIPA and Ansible will do quite a bit, but when getting into stuff to manage Linux desktops fleets there isn’t a lot of endpoint management out there.

Fleet Commander is the main effort out there, and then Red Canary.
