I'm just a simple IT guy, who does a bit of programming on the side.

How to register Nginx as a service, after installing Passenger? @HappyDeveloper It's too early on Monday morning to get so worked up. Server Fault has always been a site exclusively for System Administrators only, my apologies if you were misled. We have been frustrated by the site fragmentation as well, and have just as little control over it. I'll move this to Unix & Linux for you since I think there's enough details to get an answer. I believe the answer will be that you have to install nginx using your Distro's sanctioned installer ( apt-get IIRC) if you want the Distro's daemon scripts to work correctly. |

Is CTRL+C incorrect to use to return to command line? @Patrick Ctrl+D actually sends an End of File indicator to the stream. It's up to the program to respond appropriately (usually closing the file stream). |

Why is (free_space + used_space) != total_size in df? @DavidSchwartz It's still about 1,532,681 KB that's missing (~1.46 GB). That's not a trivial amount of space even if it only accounts for 0.08% of the total. |

Is there a difference between Linux and Unix? @ChrisDown SCO owns the code formerly developed at Bell Labs (AT&T) and formerly called Unix. Novel currently owns the Unix trademark. Some of the code in SCO's System V, Unixware, and Openserver products are BSD code (derived from BSD 4.3). AT&T certainly believed at one point in time that BSD 4.3 was a variation of Unix; a point settled out of court. Based on that assumption the current BSD flavors can claim Unix heritage the other unix-compatible OSes can not. In any case the point is moot, as you state in your answer people imply the collection of standards implemented in Unix, not the OS. |

Is there a Linux distro compiled with clang/llvm? I don't know of any that are. I think most Linux distros use GCC, supporting software with common licenses and one built specifically to handle GNU code. Clang is currently being embraced by the BSD community for similar reasons. (The proceeding is a huge simplification of political and technical problems) |

Where did the “wheel” group get its name? Big Wheel, Big Cheese, Big Shot (etc) were all slang for an important person in the early and mid 20th century. Some of them are still popular today, others aren't. Big Wheel was an allusion to the wheels on carriages of previous centuries, where more important people would have carriages with larger wheels. |
