Rather busy :\ I do run an alpha version of the never-released GoboLinux 015 in my machine, though... typing this from it now. It's the last development ISO. It even uses /System/Index. Jonas Karlsson and Michael Homer put a lot of effort into that. We just never got it to a release state, because it was a hard race to keep packages updated, bugs fixed and everything installing smoothly in contemporary boxes with all the bells and whistles everyone expects from a modern distro (all the annoying stuff such as smart device management for automounts, sleep/hibernate, graphical boot, etc etc etc). We just never got all that done to have a new ISO. I had to tweak it quite a bit to get it to run on this box (IIRC I had to get Grub from an older release, etc). Whenever I need to update something, I still use Compile and I run ContributeRecipe to share it to the main server, but that's the extent of my contributions to GoboLinux today. I would be very very sad if someday I had to give up using GoboLinux. I'm not as comfortable in any other distro (I have used others in recent years in servers at work, etc, but never as my main desktop). When I get a new computer, I'll just _have_ to get some version of GoboLinux installable/updatable again. I keep thinking about getting back to it. Taking the Linux from Scratch book and building a new, very barebones version from scratch again. But I know I won't have the time/focus to do this until at least December. After that, who knows... -- Hisham _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
