LinuxBBQ

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.

Tim

one year on the forum, still hoping to install BBQ :p

Must be that hidden installer...

^ XD

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.

Tim

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.

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.

^ 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.

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.

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... :(

^ 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?

^ 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

cheers

i got CRUX, linuxbbq summer, and arch (though it's been ages since i boot into arch) on my primary ssd
and trying dragonflybsd (dports are cool) , NuTyX, and Kwort (since doc_chroot mentioned it)

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.

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.

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 ;)

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?

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.

^ Ah, gotcha ;)
