Very st...

Re: Wilderness!

My pack changes depending on where I go. If I go trekking in the winter time, I'll usually add another couple of sources of fire, but so far the firesteel has yet to fail on me. And hell, there's probably at least 4 lighters somewhere in the pack anyway. And I do bring along basic fishing tackle as...

Re: Distros of interest

I know of Dima Krasner as a Puppy Linux developer mainly doing Debian versions of Puppy Linux - Dpups. So he has plenty of experience the RLSD distro rose out of the desire to build a GTK1 Puppy because of the desire to a modern kernel based version of Puppy but using GTK1 based apps that would mean...
