FAQ says I can ask questions here when I manage many desktop PCs. What if I manage 100's of laptops?

    Because professionals wouldn't split hairs like that.

    How's this; closed as subjective and argumentative by Chopper3♦ 1 hour ago It's impossible to objectively answer this question; questions of this type are too open ended and usually lead to confrontation and argument. Plus it's just an extremely stupid question.

  • @Cho That's offensive, but anyways, I simply wanted to know why exclude laptops? What's stupid about that?

    It's stupid because nobody in their right mind would differentiate the two, it just says desktop because that's the word chosen, it limits nobody.

  • @Chopper Can you reword it then, to avoid further exposure on user stupidity?

    If I did reword it I'd have to start with "I'm trying to create a needless argument over something anyone can see isn't an issue, but let's forget about using our brains for a moment...." - so best not.

Oh hrm that probably needs to be changed. But yes 100's of laptops is just fine too :)

I think the FAQ needs to be treated as a guideline, not a legalistic set of rules. The point of that bullet is about administering a large set of similar systems. I think it is probably adequate.

I believe it is would probably be obvious to most system admins that the bullet is about a large set of similar machines, but maybe I am wrong.

    It's worth noting that from what I've seen so far nobody else has had a problem with that wording and we see a fair number of questions relating to the administration of multiple laptops. Dec 12, 2010 at 21:43
