There is a common misconception among GNU/Linux users that our systems never ever need to be defragmented. This stems from the success of the journalized filesystems used by most distributions including EXT2,3 and 4, JFS, ZFS, XFS, ReiserFS and BTRFS. Fragmentation though can still be an issue though, especially for users that use space limited disks that may not offer many file allocation options.

Clement Lefebvre published details about the eight maintenance version of the stable Cinnamon 2.6 open-source desktop environment for the Linux Mint 17.2 (Rafaela) operating system.

In our scenario we are not going to run hundreds of operating systems and attempt to manage them. Our goal will be much simpler than that. In fact we are going to run only two separate systems running puppet master and puppet agent. Thus through the master puppet server we will attempt to configure a remote node and install "hello" package using puppet agent. This will be done with a bare minimum configuration possible.

It seems that keeping the code we depend on maintained has come to resemble how we deal with our highways. We love to build new highways and bridges, but keeping the ones we have properly maintained and safe, not so much — it’s not sexy. Evidently this isn’t just affecting small projects.
