That’s rpm, suse Linux 1.0 was never built off the same source or installer that Redhat Linux was.

Do you have a historical example where any suse distribution used redhat based source? As opensuse as I said only used the rpm package manager, it never used any other components of a redhat derived install.

Source: I work there and can find zero redhat strings in any old source code from that era, the old greybeards took offense to the implication that suse was ever based on redhat other than using rpm which at the time was about it for packaging.

All they did was start to use rpm instead of tar for packaging.

Opensuse and fedora have no common history though? Just because it uses rpm doesn’t make it a red hat derivative.

I use arch, err nixos/nix on macOS btw. Do I win or have I made the Linux nerds angy?

Looks like that’s it you got it right. As to what it means here you go. https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=stope

Guess the op yearns for the mines.

I grew up on a farm, any programmer that thinks farming or ranching is better is gonna have a rude awakening as to why there are very few farmers anymore.

So no not every computer guy dreams of the farm, repairing 10miles of fence every April for the entire month all day every day isn’t what I would consider an improvement over programming. And that’s the easy part wait till you gotta help an animal struggling to give birth.

I get programmers have this idea that farming or ranching is more pure somehow but it is murder on your body and soul in ways you wont understand. programming and computer stuff is a cakewalk in comparison. more politics but learn to play the game of thrones and its not too bad.

Its deprecated kinda like `` should be $() https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/xrat/V4_xcu_chap02.html seach for arithmetic expansion or $[].

On ye olde hpux this would work, especially when you did rm-fr /$var and $var was unset and nobody unit tested their shell back then. That db server ran for 2 days though with open file handles before it finally died.

Is fash like that fish shell only more fetch? zsh is obviously the best, its the omega end to shell names with the z (in latin alphabets so there).

Key here is the outer [] and interaction of $[], test doesn’t have == by default in standard posix, so no this isn’t posix shell or bourne compatible. Tis but another bashism. I could probably force zsh into a more bourne mode to try it but its definitely not portable bourne shell its bash.

$ [ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && echo rm || echo ok
zsh: = not found
$ zsh --version
zsh 5.9 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

== should be -eq for this to be posix/bourne portable, you could use = but -eq is for numeric comparisons so not quite right.

Jokes on you, I use zsh, your silly bashisms have no power here.
