I'm the Fedora Cloud Architect at Red Hat.
I've been using Linux and Unix professionally since 1995, mostly in Linux-related sysadmin/systems architect jobs supporting academia. I generally know my stuff, but am very happy to learn something new and to be corrected when I'm wrong.

Unable to login to my server using ssh Note that a key error will generally give you permission denied from ssh, not the connection errors you are seeing. Can you run (from your ubuntu client) ssh -vv root@server_ip? The -vv will add debugging output. |

Unable to login to my server using ssh Can you be more specific about "location.x"? Was this in /etc or in root's home directory? |

Is there an ideal operating system for GNOME 3? @EmanuelBerg No. That's one aspect of Fedora (and an important, useful one) but Fedora is a complete independent and functional distribution in its own right, with its own mission and community. But this is really whole 'nuther topic. |

Need these offline installing packages Also, asking random people on the internet to send you software which you are going to run is a terrible idea. You should get it from a trusted source -- in this case, your Linux distribution, Mint. |

Red Hat Enterprise Linux desktop: constant crashing, unusable, what to do In any case, what's your graphics card? Do you use a screensaver program overnight, or just the blank screen? Are you doing anything in particular when it crashes while in use? |

Once the system has been started, is there any advantage in using systemd? There are several such tutorials; for example, linux.com/learn/tutorials/… |

How do I make Powertop's suggestion's permanent? Excitingly, some of the advice appears to be backwards. For example, it says iw dev wlan0 set power_save off, but turning it on is what changes the setting to "Good". |
