Sister communities:


Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    FS TAB - 3 syllables

    F STAB - 2 syllables

    The choice is clear.

    FSTAB (silent F) - 1 syllable

    By this logic we should just fuse the f and s for a monosyllabic word.

    Filesystem Table.

    It’s a shortening. Not a shortening of File Systemtable though.

    Thanks for the information, but I started calling it f stab, an I shall continue to do so.

    [–] trk@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

    Huh.... Been using Linux for 20 years, only just learned the origins of fstab.

    How embarrassing.

    I literally didn't put it together that it was FS-Tab until a couple years ago when I was setting up an encrypted drive manually in /etc/crypttab, something I had done many times before, when it finally clicked.

    I've used Linux heavily for about 15 years.
