Re: WMFS2: Monkeys! (586)

Have this on my little eMachines E-250 and it runs great.

Wonder how it would run on my Dell M6700 Workstation....Wonder if it would catch fire running so fast?? :-)

Re: Linux Tablet?

I am not that well versed in using Github. I understand how it works, just haven't had the need to use it very often.

Re: Linux Tablet?

Talked to my friend who is developing this tablet about releasing the drivers for their tablet. Since their drivers were custom made by them, they aren't willing to turn loose of the source code due to competition from the cheap Chinese tablet makers. What they could possibly do is provide a complet...

Re: Linux Tablet?

Talked to my friend developing these tablets. He said if they can get them in prodcution sufficiently, he said he could have his devs look at building a custom kernel/image with the required touch and other drivers built in. It could then be made available for people to use with their own spins here...

Re: Linux Tablet?

I was actually thinking about a CLI version. :-) I was thinking Jesse, but with an updated kernel to work with the touch drivers. Basically Adipositas, with a good selection of CLI and ncurses applications. Then if the user wanted to add X window manager later, the touch drivers would work with it. ...

Re: Wilderness!

Bear Grylls, popular TV survivalist, has been noted to drink his own urine on multiple occasions. This is outright stupid on multiple levels. At the point where you'd be contemplating urine as an acceptable source of water, then you're already probably significantly dehydrated. In this state, the s...

Re: Linux Tablet?

I can ask my friend about that possibility. I know the some of the drivers are his and his team's own code, so idk about whether they would be willing to turn loose of them or make an installer for them. Maybe a specific built kernel is the answer. I can ask. One thing I see this tablet has going fo...

They are done with testing the hardware and are going to load Ubuntu 16.04 as the first distro. Other distros to follow, including Fedora, Kali, and OpenSUSE. There wil be a dual-boot option a...

Re: Linux Tablet?

It would run a Cherry Trail CPU, 2 or 4 GB of RAM, and either a 64GB or 128GB EMMC, or a 256Gb SSD. Prices would range from $230 (x5-Z8350, 2Gb RAM, 64Gb EMMC) to $500 (x7-Z8750, 4Gb RAM, 256Gb SSD). My friend has been crunching the financial numbers on this for a while to make it work. It would hav...

Linux Tablet?

Hello, Would anyone have any interest in a tablet, with say a 9" or 10" screen, running Linux? I am not talking a chroot setup in Android, but honest real Linux, even a command line-only distro if you so desired? It would have a 64bit Intel processor, so any x86-x64 distro would work. Just...

Re: HOWTO: clean up your dirty music collection.

May try this program when I get home, though after reading some the previous issues, think I will copy a small portion of my library to a portable drive and see how it goes. Not letting it mess up all 250Gb+ of my music. Took years to rip all them and digging all the vinyl and CDs out is not somethi...

Re: WMFS2: Monkeys! (586)

Sure, and here I just got my Violator install setup.

This WM looks so much like my old Xmonad, now I just have to try this.

Thanks for the New Year gift.

Running this on my eMachines E-250 netbook.

Very fast, great spin. Making me relearn the CLI (which was needed, got too lazy the last few years on Linux Mint).

Re: SWM: Victory (586) Release Notes

Tried out the live run late last night. Going to install it on my little eMachines E-250 guinea pig and give it a full on run.

Looks very promising, will post a scrot when I get it setup.

Re: #787263 - breaks networking for allow-hotplug interfaces

I just did a dist-upgrade myself on Bork and letting ifupdown upgrade doesn't help that I can see so far. Manually trying to start the interface, either eth0 or wlan0 is a no go, and neither show up in ceni either. Guess I will have to look which systemd and udev files to not let upgrade. Time for a...

Re: OPENBOX: BORK! Release Notes

Just installed this after trying popcorn last fall.

This ROCKS!

Even though I don't normally use Dillo, it is actually starting to grow on me just simply for its speed and simplicity.

Does that make me a bit strange?

Next thing you know, I will be using Links 2 or Lynx Curses.

Re: MAIN EDITION: Haggis (486/686) Release Notes

Been running this on my little netbook for about a week. Working great, haven't had any issues. Upgraded without a hitch and chugging right along. Once I figure out how to create a scrot, will post one.
