Re: Newbie questions and a few guidelines?

Breaking the windows mindset/control is very hard for some people...Perhaps, you should keep windows and install a GNU/Linux distro on another partition (dual boot) or run GNU/Linux in virtualbox until you become more familiar with it... This is why I do not agree with people trying to recruit windo...

Re: Newbie questions and a few guidelines?

Excuse me for a second while I ROFLMAO about Roky comparing Debian to an All Anglo Neighborhood...LOL Seriously though.... Debian has its strengths for some and for others those same strengths are its weaknesses. I was a long long time user of Debian, as well as many other distros...The main problem...

Re: Newbie questions and a few guidelines?

[quote="slientwind" 1. Can I safely install Firefox beside Midori in Salix Xfce? Wouldn't they conflict somehow? How would I do that from Gslapt? I mean how would I know which packages are needed from all those listed? You can install as many browsers as you wish. Midori is nice, but still...

Re: If systemd is so bad...

Agreed with much in Bobo's post, however, not all. Systemd is an intrusive software suite that has more in common with a logging type malware than a new init system. It is not difficult to run a non-systemd system however. Requires patching or recompiling some programs, cups as an example, however, ...

Re: Donations to Slackware?

Hi Gapan,

I noticed their "store" the other day, nice items. Perhaps a Salix store in the future?

What I was mainly asking though is: Does Salix give a percentage of their donations to Slackware to help support them as well? :idea:

Donations to Slackware?

Hello,

I was reviewing the old thread from 2013 regarding donations, glad you decided to accept them, and it had me wondering...

Regards

Re: Another systemd-refugee found a new home here.

Hello Everyone, I have a similar story as "Papasot", with regards to the recent widespread adoption of systemd, causing me to leave Debian. I was a long time user of Windows from the early 90's (DOS before that), been using GNU/Linux for a long time as well. I began my journey with Debian ...
