[DNG] Plasyonlinux; is anyone successfully using it?
As per subject, is anyone sucessfully using PlayOnLinux? My POl installation on Debian wheezy/stretch was stuffed due to graphics related problems and I was only able to fix some basic stuff prior to upgrading to Devuan-Ascii. Now I'd like to get it working again and it would motivate if other people can confirm that they have it working. I don't see any reason for it not working, but worth checking.

Concur. ITOH, one could extend the hypothetical Dell laptop's two SATA connectors to outside using eSATA cables, and connect those to an md-driver RAID1 mirror pair of drives in external enclosures, preferably each with a standalone power supply widget. (SATA doesn't carry power.) ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

CCed as I think the list is unhappy with my IP address.

Even the cheapest will be completely overpowered as a file server. As they have USB 3 you can use an adapter or external bay for your drive. They're extremely low-power, essentially have a UPS and have no need for a fan. Don't forget an adapter for LAN if needed. As Dell explicitly supports Ubuntu, you can likely get Devuan working on one easily. Boot once, use their system tools to prep a restore USB stick, then install Devuan directly to it, overwriting everything. Use your external dock as a separate drive independent from your system, so you can swap it if you want to replace it and increase your drive capacity in the future. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
