ssh tunnels are not very stable if bad connection, I recommend autossh to maintain the tunnel http://linuxaria.com/howto/permanent-ssh-tunnels-with-autossh

People are comparing this to Docker, but lmctfy seems to be much more limited -- it doesn't even try to isolate the filesystem, for instance. In fact, based on the documentation, I don't see how this is anything different from the "cgroup-bin" scripts that have shipped with Ubuntu for years: http://linuxaria.com/article/introduction-to-cgroups-the-linux-conrol-…

One area they still have a stronghold is in Office and productivity software. There was an entry on HN about this : http://linuxaria.com/article/the-biggest-failure-in-open-source-is?lan… If any of those were to be made open source, MS would effectively corner the open source office market as well. I'm not holding my breath though. I'm actually shocked at how quickly the Microsoft stack in my daily work has now gone down in use from where it was only about 5 years ago. With the exception of Office as in above and Windows for Photoshop (almost daily use) and Visual Studio (some projects still need it), the rest is entirely Open Source from OS and on. Currently I'm using Mint and Debian with OpenBSD on the side. As much as people bash MS for all sorts of (well deserved) things, the bottom line is that they do get a lot of things right. It's not just political wrangling that allow them to stay in business, obviously, since if the products are really lacking too much, they'd be hurting too. I do think the culture in the company is changing, hopefully for the better. Edit: I think, by and large Windows 8 is a mistake, but not in the way it was designed. The way it was marketed. Win 8 makes sense on mobile/touch devices and no where else. And that's all I have to say about that. Hopefully, they don't plan on keeping the trend into the next version of Windows, but we'll see. Even though joysticks are arguably a better means of control, there's a reason cars still have…

You should just about always add at least some swap.
