I love the new SSH links in the console windows. Would it be possible to have an RDP link generated for Windows machines? I don't know if there is a way to detect if RDP is enabled, but a fat client link would definitely be helpful. Especially when working on a tablet (which the SSH links make immeasurably better now)

So, Broadcom bought VMWare.

It also looks like they're sparing no time showing their cards on how this is going to play out:

My wonder is if this is going to drive companies (especially smaller shops) to re-evaluate and look to XCP or Hyper-V (I'm leaving Citrix out, because they have their own ownership woes to contend with).

Is Vates/XCP as an org ready for a (potential) influx of customers and the level of support they look for?

@stormi

It still moves it ahead of RHEL where as CentOS typically trailed (briefly). I'm not sure what to make of ANOTHER dev branch considering I thought that was the niche Fedora fit in.

Found the other thread. Disregard this post.

a plain rpd://ip-address seems to work fine in Mac OS and iOS but more information may be needed on windows clients not sure if the uris work on all systems the same.

EDIT
Looks like windows doesn't support URI to RDP but Microsoft makes it work for basically every other OS. I still think its a worthwhile feature even if it is slightly less functional because Microsoft is weird.

I've seen the instructions on how to create a cloud init template with CentOS. I am attempting to make a template for Ubuntu 18.04 and want to make sure I am doing things correctly.

The CentOS instructions say to create a single partition. Is that also the recommendation with Ubuntu or should I go with the default LVM creation?

Is the only package needed from apt cloud-init?

Thanks
