Have you recently attempted to install the containerization platform known as Docker on to a first generation Raspberry Pi (including A+ and B+) or a Zero and found you couldn’t start up a container?

I noted on Twitter the other day that I had mixed feelings on getting a breakthrough on a problem that I had faced a couple of months ago by revisiting said problem with a fresh pair of eyes and a different point of view.

Despite the Linux operating system being available in various and unique flavours and spins, many of the foundations that make up the operation system have similarities between them all.

Previously we have covered what to do if you made a real mess of things in Docker and just want to purge all your containers, volumes and images from your host system.

One ongoing issue that can occur across an predominately Windows/Group Policy heavy enterprise environment is the corruption of the Registry.

Ever spent endless hours, days and nights, deep inside your Bash shell in your Linux distribution of choice and ever wonder “I know I have ran a command to solve this solution but cannot for the life of me remember it”?

It’s been a long time between drinks for certifications that I have achieved personally.

Not normally the application packaging type but some time ago it fell to me to package up some open source fonts and deploy them via System Centre Configuration Manager across the enterprise.

Many many moons ago, we had a way to trawl through DHCP scopes utilising the netsh tool to find devices on our networks that match a certain MAC address.

It has cropped up from time to time that we need to retrieve information, in this example, the MAC address from remotely located workstations.
