Re: [DNG] Ian Murdoch

I have thought the whole issue of his supposed suicide was murky. If you ever heard/watched any of his lectures or read any of his writings regarding the early days of Linux and Debian, he never struck me remotely as being high strung and suicidal. His death was a complete shock to many people.

[DNG] Which is free, which is open source, et al.

Lurker here. Following this stuff for a couple of years, playing with Dejuan and its downstream variants with some success, some failures, but always interesting. I’m very empathetic to Steve Litt’s feelings on the systemd stuff, and am particularly inspired to reply to the latest missive on the po

[DNG] Previous post

Dang. Apologize for all the drek following my previous post. Posted to a collective of the dng list, ignoring reply protocol. Should have replied like this, without all the “he said, she said, it said” stuff following. Good luck with your distro. I hope it is successful, from my old philosophical

Re: [DNG] Dng Digest, Vol 40, Issue 4

Have the dev's and supporters of this list considered perhaps arranging an e-interview with the Destination Linux podcast folks? I just posted a comment to them as a suggestion that they interview various forks of Debian, Arch, and Ubuntu opposed to systemd. In particular, Devuan (seems to be a go

[DNG] Secure boot switch in EFI

I'm unsure if this is the way for a lurker to reply to his list. If not, my apologies. Someone posted that it would be nice to get a list of PC vendors who don't allow disabling of secure boot. That would be a great boon if someone can actually post such a list. I'm currently posting from a Dell XP

Okay. Just converted Debian Jesse to Devuan. Seems to work fine, so far. Thanks, guys! Curt the Lurker curt@curt-devuan:~$ inxi -S System:Host: curt-devuan Kernel: 3.16.0-4-amd64 x86_64 (64 bit) Desktop: LXDE (Openbox 3.5.2) Distro: Devuan GNU/Linux 1 curt@curt-devuan:~$ ps axu|gre

[DNG] PC compatibility to non-Microsoft software

Forgive me. I have been flamed before because of my posts on this mailing list, but a comment on newer PC's and their non-compatibility with non-Microsoft software led me to risk this posting. I think that ultimately, EFF or the GNU folks will need to pursue lobbying for legislation to prevent hard

Re: [DNG] Dng Digest, Vol 15, Issue 37

Hi, I'm just a lurker on the Devuan mailing list, and after the posts the last few days just want to make a suggestion. You are all doing prodigious things in configuring a downstream version of one of the oldest linux distributions. Keep doing that, and when things get stressful and a bit out of s

Re: [Dng] Dng Digest, Vol 9, Issue 21

I don't know specifically about Devuan porting to to the iPhone, but it would be marvelous if some sort of Linux could be ported to that hardware. My main gripe with closed OS devices like Apple productions is that eventually, regardless of the quality of the hardware, the company withdraws OS supp
