There's probably an old Usenet FAQ somewhere with it, although I haven't checked.But it got me to thinking of when the idea of a-z collating *entirely after* A-Z became a norm; only to falter again when ASCII systems met other countries. When the era was.I checked with a couple of my old printed dictionaries from the 20th century, and they had case-insensitive collation in English. One even put 'a' ahead of 'A'.It's definitely thus an <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ASCII" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ASCII</a> notion, but did it pre-date <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Unix</a>? Did it pre-date regular expression syntax?

Redish LabA couple of questions for <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#unix</a> gurus. With the Windows 10 EOL crisis, we are likely going to be switching most of our lab computers over to unix. We have been testing <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ubuntu</a> 24.04 LTS. It seems to meet most of our requirements nicely, but I have two needs I have not solved yet:1. I am looking for some sort of <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/SSO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SSO</a> system where I can control all of the logins and group permissions centrally for the lab. I don't want people to have to maintain passwords across two dozen computers. I do not need the whole complexity of centralized group policies and the like. I just need SSO.2. I am looking for a reliable <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/AntiVirus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AntiVirus</a> system. I know that people say unix doesn't need it, but I just don't believe that.Important keys are (1) most of my personnel are not computer-savvy unix-gurus, and (2) I do not have the time to be a full-time sysadmin for two dozen computers, so the "we can hack this together with enough effort" solutions that I used when I was a (unix-savvy) graduate student myself is not acceptable here. I need a more business-friendly system.Cost matters, but I'm willing to pay for the right thing. So am interested in both freeware and paid solutions.thanks for any suggestions.PS. PLEASE do not respond to this with a rants about freeware vs corporate, or the qualities of unix vs Windows. Those are debates for another time and another place. thx
