Re: Intro rvijay

Hey hello and welcome to the grill. If you have any questions or need help, let me/us know, best place is the SUPPORT section. I've been away from the BBQ for a while. A few package names have changed or been removed from Debian's unstable repo, the x11-server for example has a new name. Best bet i...

Re: Intro rvijay

I always liked and admired the tiny linux distros like Damn Small Linux, Nano Linux, Kolibri OS, Janus Linux etc., Wonder if a CLI only linux distro that is sufficient for daily routine use be made that is similar in size and performance to one of these smaller distros. Just a thought I reflect on s...

Re: Intro rvijay

I read all the wiki links, don't think will remember them all, might have
to revise them again in future. Then went thru entire forum: Scripts, support, how to areas, saved and bookmarked several vital threads. Lots of learning to do here, will be very slow and busy for a while.

Thanks all.

Re: Intro rvijay

I am pleased to inform that I installed LinuxBBQ to Hard Drive. Last time I tried to install it to external USB drive, that didn't boot, then copied that install to HD and had to configure the OLD grub, that didn't help either. So this time decided to install to HD directly and it worked. Tried to i...

Re: Intro rvijay

Tired palemoon browser on Puppy Linux latest distro, it also says linuxbbq portal, cookbook and Blog are not safe to open and the cert. for linuxbbq.org is not valid.
No other option other than to exit out.

However, the main linuxbbq site opens well.

Re: Intro rvijay

When I was quite young and went to school, computers and programming were accessible only to select few at the University Level. So basically all these things were under lock and key considering the expenses involved and their importance. I could not afford to buy a computer till much later in life....

Re: The pet thread

I have had pet birds mostly parrots for 20 years now.

About two months ago I found a pigeon outside that was unsteady, needy, got him in and cared for him, he has recovered well. Here is the full thread in this regard:

Re: Travel Thread

Who was this directed at benefiting more ? Just something that made me wonder. I have barely started learning CLI and one site I saw said...

Re: Travel Thread

I don't like travel, very rare personality and avoid it as much as possible. However, it was very interesting to read this thread, I like to read a bit about travel.

This is leading me to the question, what lead to the creation of LinuxBBQ ? What was the motivating factor ?
