Has anyone tried RISC OS? https://www.riscosopen.org/content/ I was given a beagleboard and might give it whirl. I was going to try it on my Pi but Slitaz does such a great job for me that I don't want to remove it. I guess I should just get another Pi since they're so cheap now.

I was intrigued to try it just before the holidays. also haiku. it's on the list, yes.

^ Waiting on a new Pi to try it. Hopefully later today the Pi will arrive.

http://skywavelinux.com/ looks interesting for you radio listeners. Torrent at Linuxtracker http://linuxtracker.org/?page=torrent-d ... a1f46b3d76

^^^ I need to get a Pi one of these days... So many distros for arm that look great.

^ not that expensive. I just bought another, just for a print server!

Same goes for the one I posted above :)

^ I would probably be more inclined to use the one you posted! :)

i've seen FreeBSD mentioned, but i've found Dragonfly BSD to have better hardware compatibility (though i admit the software availability is somewhat lower...they do mention that many FreeBSD ports will work with their system). i've installed Dragonfly on a system that wouldn't boot the FreeBSD or PCBSD install disks. their Hammer file system is a bit higher in overhead, but less so than ZFS, in my experience, and was developed completely in-house.

@machinebacon Haiku is a neat little operating system! I've installed it a few times. It has a ways to go, but with more interested developers it could probably be a great option as an alternate OS.
I usually go with the nightly builds, because they've added a LOT since the official release.

"budgie"? what was her name again...

I don't think this has been posted yet:

^ Of course, the one I didn't search the forums for, unlike redox, which I did! ;)

EDIT: Running live dvd right now. Gnome3, ugh, but surprisingly light and responsive even still, except for Tor browser, which of course is slow everywhere, because security.

I met the Subgraph guys last summer! Cool to see their distro taking off.

systemd-less ArchBang openrc version http://bbs.archbang.org/viewtopic.php?id=5658 Just downloading it so can't comment yet. :D

Not really of interest personally but Devuan Beta is out, the systemd-less Debian fork, even with planet names for Testing/Unstable.

Not only have we so much Debian/Ubuntu derivatives, it is now time for a ton of no systemd derivatives.

^ Yeah, "let's pick another icon set and background image, replace web browser A for web browser B and call the project <....>"
