Thank you, Simon. I'll probably get my second degree as CS, I'm currently in a different (non-tech) university. I hope money we'll pay worth it. The good thing is that you don't need to pass exams one more time, they will only ask for an interview. And also it lasts three years instead of four to

Hello, I decided to try to switch to Devuan Jessie with KDE4 installed using dev1fanboy instructions. As I know, KDE4 isn't either tested or supported in Devuan right now, but it's interesting for me to try and probably fix something. I should say the whole process went just fine and I can use it

I suggest you to try this: http://gnuinos.org/netman/ (packages for amd64) Dowload the netman packages for your architecture and use dpkg -i to install. netman is a network manager without dbus and systemd requirements. You can also try wicd. On 14/11/2015, 4ernov <4er...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hel
