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.

comment 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.

Can you be more specific about "location.x"? Was this in /etc or in root's home directory?

comment 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.

comment 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.

comment 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?

This sounds like it might be best taken to the folks at Red Hat support.

comment 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".
