Re: What distros are you using?
I completely tore up my PC trying to install PC-BSD, a few days ago. Right now, the only distro I have is Arch / Openbox. I hope to add a BBQ spin, before long.

I've got linuxbbq Elixir installed on two laptops (one of them x86 and the other amd64) and a desktop (amd64).

Oh, BBQ summer was one of the systems that was lost in the destruction.

Re: What distros are you using?
Daily use is Summer, other partitions contain Ubuntu 14.04, Fedora 20, Spring, Gruffalo, and Colin. Haven't updated Gruffalo in a month or so, and Colin even longer. I should re-purpose my Summer install as an updated version of Colin.

Re: What distros are you using?
LinuxBBQ Haggis heavily customized is my main one. Other partition on this lappy is dedicated to CRUX.
Then usual stuff around: Arch, Fedora 20, LinuxBBQ Bowlful, vanilla Debian sid and stable.

Re: What distros are you using?
^ recently added to that a couple of Ubuntu netinstall (one with busybox and one with MATE) and another Fedora 20 with GNOME Shell. I seriously doubt these will last more than a couple of months, but let's have fun for a while.
Re: What distros are you using?
Crunchbang and Arch on the same laptop ( though i rarely boot into #! anymore )
If I had the hardware then:
Some no-X BBQ spin, Slackware, Crux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD.

Re: What distros are you using?
At this time, I am booting BBQ Hot Dog, Kwort, and Salix on a 320GB Dell Inspiron (Celeron processor) that I had gotten from the school district and antiX and no-X NetBSD on a 120GB Acer Aspire One (Intel Atom N270).
One day, I will post in a battlestation thread and have a 16:10 IPS monitor and a Cherry MX Green KBParadise V60 with a Logitech G400s mouse. One day... :(

Re: What distros are you using?
^ Cool, how is Kwort? I had thought of it. Only thing I know, that it is based on on CRUX. But is it more user friendly or?

Re: What distros are you using?
^ You know, I haven't found Kwort to be substantially different than CRUX, personally. kpkg was a little confusing at first, and I had a heck of a time trying to configure wifi. I ended up not being that much less of a hassle than a full CRUX install. If I was to be looking for a time-conscious/user-friendly distro, Alpine and Slackware would be much better options. (My $0.02)
On a side note, I missed the release of OpenSUSE 13.2 :D (I must have had my head in the sand this semester...) Will toss that in a VM (on a VPS) and give it a try tomorrow.
Edit: I should add, though, that CRUX ports work fantastically with Kwort. You just need to run to have a shot at CRUX's ports :D

^ Aha, thank you for the info mate, does sound a bit tough tbh. But now I need to try it, might as well learn the technique of growing a proper beard :D

Re: What distros are you using?
PITA wifi configuration is pretty much a deal-breaker for me. Sometimes I consider getting a spare desktop to mess with at home, but then, how much time do I really want to waste doing this shit? Already on the computers (again) too much, after my little stint in non-computer-work world.Dr_Chroot wrote:^ You know, I haven't found Kwort to be substantially different than CRUX, personally. kpkg was a little confusing at first, and I had a heck of a time trying to configure wifi.

Still thinking of trying CRUX, though. ;)
So right now, it's just OpenBSD, and Mac OSX (which pays the bills). Probably do some Slackin' again, soon.

Re: What distros are you using?
That sis so true; I probably spend ~8 hours a day on my Thinkpad, which is probably too much. There is something so refreshing about just going for a little walk outside; I went to the gym yesterday and used the bench press for a bit and then some ring dips and side bends with a high-pulley cable. Just about killed myself. I then walked down to Dunkin' Donuts and bought half a dozen, just to get some walking in. Yeah, I know, I should work out more ;)bones wrote:how much time do I really want to waste doing this shit?

If it puts money in your pocket, that is great :D Out of morbid curiosity, as you using it to run software for the company, such as Eclipse? Or are you doing graphic design?bones wrote:So right now, it's just OpenBSD, and Mac OSX (which pays the bills).

Re: What distros are you using?
Neither. I am a prepress technician/manager in commercial printing, which is a business almost entirely driven by Macs at the workstation level, and Windows Server for servers. I have done graphic design at the professional level in the past, however, but I don't think I'm terribly good at it.Dr_Chroot wrote:If it puts money in your pocket, that is great :D Out of morbid curiosity, as you using it to run software for the company, such as Eclipse?
