Is there any way to turn my Linux machine into a docking station?

The thing is like this: I have a windows laptop I use for work, and a Linux desktop machine. I have a single screen keyboard etc. and I switch between the two using a docking station. But, I wonder if there is a way for me to “cut the middle man” and just plug/unplug my linux machine....

This is the way (as in this is what I do). Every once in a while you’ll have to hard reset the laptop because Windows.

A thread on the site which shall not be named convinced me that a majority of the books are recently published and with above average to highly scored on reviews, so I bought it.

Why the Linux Firewalls book hails from 2007 is a strange outlier.

Not sure where you got the 25kb number from.

This tool is written in go and is a 7.8 MB compiled binary.

What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

I’m working on a some materials for a class wherein I’ll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and we’re including a section we’re calling “foot guns”. Basically it’s ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers....

Force uninstalled glibc on my Gentoo, which basically broke every shell and binary on the system. Was able to repair in place because I

  1. Had already compiled busybox statically
  2. Still had a copy of the stage 3 tarball on / which I could use to ‘restore’ glibc libraries

50 minutes seems way too long - I run Gentoo on a 2nd gen i5 and my kernel compile is always under 20 minutes.

You are using make -j4 or make -j(number of CPU cores) for parallel compile, right?
