Re: Distros of interest
ubuntuBSD - "The ease and familiarity of Ubuntu with the rock-solid stability and performance of the FreeBSD kernel."
From their Twitter: "First BETA release of #ubuntuBSD, codenamed "Escape from #SystemD" is out! Based on #FreeBSD 10.1 + #Ubuntu Wily"
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntubsd/
Looks interesting, although the iso itself is ~850mb. Comes with XFCE and includes ZFS support :D

Re: Distros of interest
^ Hmmm, I don't get it on so many levels. What license? Can they use the Ubuntu name and logo? Looks like the Ubuntu installer, and then what, you land in FreeBSD? Another Anti SytstemD crusader? What's the intention or goal? I can go on and on....
Sorry for the rant. Whats next, Appluntu?

Re: Distros of interest
^^ You know, I'm not particularly clear on what their motives are. Their sourceforge page isn't overly detailed. It sort of reminded me of Debian/kFreeBSD with the ZFS support and other goodies.

Re: Distros of interest
^ Lol, I know why you and I are not clear on this thing, there is no bloody documentation :D
That 'man spectrwm' guy would have a valid reason to bitch about no info in this case haha.

Re: Distros of interest
@Black Ivan Exactly! When I was a DJ in a stripper bar in Vancouver, I used to have a weekly award for the dancer who had the worst attitude or was the biggest pain in the ass (late for shows or missed shows, brings wrong tape or CD for theme show and has a meltdown, fights with other girls in the dressing room, screaming and swearing at customers, etc.). The girl won the PMS Vicious Cunting Sow of the Week award. It would make a great user rank for rotten meat but it's kinda long. :D

Re: Distros of interest
looks like it is something ALFS-ish. at least it uses LFS mirrors to build.

Re: Distros of interest
^^damn! i'm intrigued.
Re: Distros of interest
Pür Linux looks good. Nice to see people pushing back against the usual bullshit, doing things differently.

Re: Distros of interest
void is great, too. people who struggle with Debian should really run Void as primary system. very good community too!

Re: Distros of interest
^yeah, and they've recently improved upon their documentation.
Re: Distros of interest
Pur looks pretty interesting. I'll probably check it out again in a few months to see how things are progressing. I hope it gains traction. I'm tempted to put Void on my new Raspberry Pi 3.
