The reason Devuan exists, is an itch named systemd. Should we be
looking for other itches?
I happened across one, in trying to get debootstrap to run on Gentoo
(to make a chroot jail). If something corrupts the status or available
files in /var/lib/dpkg the system is hooped, and re-install may b

I am just finishing getting over a grub2/gpt problem that I am
sidestepping by using the IsoLinux part of SysLinux (until Devuan comes
out, so I can ditch Gentoo), and I had volunteered to do a presentation
on backups to my local engineering association.
As far as booting goes, there are too many

Here on this Gentoo box I set up (moving away from systemd on Debian
maybe 9 months ago), I was having trouble installing XFCE without

I'm not sure where the plugin part is coming from. I am temporarily
running Gentoo, and eudev is my udev. Version is 1.10-r2 if th

I'm on Gentoo. I am supposed to have grub 2 installed. But, I can
send information on how things are set up here. I do have a
There are a few different kinds of people on the mailing list. I

a presentation to my local engineering association, which has got me
thinking about things.
Sorry for this interruption.

I briefly looked over a threaded list of the many topics that I haven't
read, and none seem to address this.
Originally, the reason people bought graphics cards (or better graphics
cards) was to improve graphics performance. Which to a dinosaur like

I downloaded the "magnet" via torrent, and a day or so later I am still
getting little drabs of uploads to do.
I decided to burn the amd64 DVD ISO, and try it. Xfburn worried me a
little, as it showed the buffer emptied at least once while burning (I
have 3 BOINC jobs, including one BOINC job usi
A while ago, I started trying to get a chroot Debian environment set up
on Gentoo, and ran into troubles. Hopefully I can get back to trying

commercial stuff
