LinuxBBQ

I'm sorry, maybe I didn't understand it (I am a n00b compared to you guys), I thought you were looking for a no-X login manager: rhowaldt and I had had ideas about writing a kind of "no-X login manager" (those days for Oyster) and as soon as systemd is fully ported to Debian, we might star...

It's a no-X login manager

@mb – qingy login manager ?

I use an old desktop, a nice laptop (i5 Thinkpad, 8GB RAM) and a NetBook (gma500 p.o.s., fuck you Intel !). I'm an avid distro hopper, but BBQ (Open Box or i3wm), #! (stable, OB), Arch (OB or i3wm) and LinuxMint (xfce) are constants. The latter for showing others how nice and easy Linux can be. The ...

Thanks all, I ll find a solution that doesn't bring me into trouble.

@rhowald LOL, I would rather call it "using the possibilities" :-) And it's not about access to the internal network, but only about access to the WiFi, for browsing the www. The security guys won't let visitors browse the web. "What if someone uploads kiddie porn from here?". Th...

Question on networking, at my work, which is one of the remaining Microsoft strongholds, and yes we have the matching "certified" system admins - LOL) When I use a new machine I need a "certificate" to load onto my computer (??) and after 15 minutes I can log in. In other help fi...

No, I don't like/ don't need Windows.

I use a Thinkpad X220, with the IPS screen. But I haven't replaced anything yet. Anyway, I would say - go for it

Next step: LinuxBBQ will buy Apple's space ship for a new head quarter. The command line will rule the world :-)

This is the LinuxBBQ sell out :( An ad for KillX on the front page, a sponsor deal with nano....what's next? LinuxBBQ popup stores? Beyoncé as ambassador? A Facebook like IPO?

OK Machinebacon, fair enough. And thanks to the whole crew for the work!

How about the Nix packagemanager? nixos.org "Nix is a purely functional package manager. This means that it can ensure that an upgrade to one package cannot break others, that you can always roll back to previous version, that multiple versions of a package can coexist on the same system, and m...

It IS source based, right? Binaries are bloat.

hey Joe, thanks. Seems like a fun project, I was trying to fond where it sits between Gentoo, Slack, LFS and Arch, but that does not matter, it its all good. :)

Hi all, I saw the advertisment ;-) for nietsche . Seems like a great idea - a distro-independent Git based eh... distro ? Is there anybody out there who knows more about this? If you go for "Slackware" like builds, there is no dependendency resolution, right? I see some Funtoo influence as...

Hey, thanks all you guys. In a few weeks I will have time to fiddle with kernels - I work in education, my wife has a "normal" (LOL) job, so after our holiday at the Mediterranean, she will get back to work and I have 3 more weeks of spare time to paint the house ........ make a new terrac...

@ivan - thanks. I saw @ the gentoo forums the same discussion: Long Term Stable kernel vs Newest? I prefer to use the Long Term Stable (LTS) kernels rather than the newest kernel. I am wondering if I am the only Gentoo user that feels this way.....The main reason I use LTS kernels is, I want a kerne...

@hinto - do your config files transfer well between different distros?

Thanks all. Is this a Debian-specific thing? I'll see which kernel is in my Arch install... But anyway, I'll go with the "cool" kernel for the BBQ (a cool BBQ???? ;-) ;-)
