Re: Linux
I just need to run a container in docker. Ubuntu seemed the least faff that didn't involve buying a Windows license and is supported by the people that make the app I'm running.

I've recently installed Ubuntu and I'm impressed by how much more user friendly it is. Still not perfect, but it is miles better than it used to be.

Re: Linux
In all honestly, I'd just buy a cheapo 128GB SSD, remove the windows drive and replace it, have a mess, then swap it back if needed.
Or, even easier, use Virtualisation (Oracle Virtualbox probably the best bet). You can boot up a virtual OS in that.
Otherwise, you've gotta fuck about with the ...

Re: track day insurance
My classicline insurance has five UK trackdays included as standard so long as you let them know. 8-) I haven't looked into the policy details, but at least it's somewhat reassuring.

Re: Would you buy a Mat Armstrong car?
For example we have 30 separate actions to do when assembling a piston and rod, times 20 so 600 things that need doing correctly. If you do something repeatedly and all day long with expensive consequences you need a foolproof system.
Dave!
A mild aside:
This is particularly true when you ...
Re: Dilbert
He literally died to own the libs.
I've often thought you should respect people who are sincere in their beliefs, and by his own actions he demonstrated that he clearly believed what he spouted.

Re: Your fleet running reports
Friends' Tiguan is currently with VW to be dried out before they can start to investigate which bits that have been damaged by water ingress.
The bill so far is reassuringly large.

Re: The Watches Thread
Hi guys, I've got a Submariner with the date. I never knew I'd made such a fool of myself. Must consult you more in future.
I drive a Cayman GTS 4.0 currently. Should I torch that to save further embarrassment?

If I won the lottery that'd be straight in the garage, simply because of the supercharger stack height :lol:

Re: Your fleet running reports
Zoe booked in with the auto electrician to figure out why the HRW and heated seats aren't working.
Could be a fuse, but the HRW fuse is not accessible unless you have five joints in each finger.

Re: The ebay thread
Rear wheels look wrong on the Porsche. It looks broken rather than stanced.
Re: New Car
How can we possibly guess if we don't know whether the wheels are staggered?
