[DNG] Insolence from a twisted character?

Hi, "This is all warm and fuzzy but very OT. Please take your "therapy" off-list. Or better yet, get comfortable enough with yourself that a four-legged crutch isn't necessary to give meaning to your existence." A shameful, arrogant, insolent and unwarranted reply. Golinux, you pride yourself

[DNG] Devuan installer

Hi Does the Devuan graphical installer still support a banner across the top of the screen? Or is this an issue with beta or coming from debian? I'm using live-build wth jessie. Cheers Ozi ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org

It'll hit the embedded world pretty hard. Today you can buy a brand new soekris box that only runs i586. Brand new off the shelf, today. My 6 or 7 year old one is running right now as an asterisk server at home. Draws about 5 watts. Its not exactly the newest piece of hardware they sell but

[DNG] Debian is dropping support for i586. Are we?

Debian is dropping suppoort for i586. It seems to mean tht the i386 platform will no longer run on 586 processors, as gcc starts to generate instructions that are incalid there. Currently this seems to be the case in sid, but it will probably propagate through testing. People with only

Hi, Init freedom enthusiasts. About a month ago I adopted a puppy which took most of my free time as it was still too young. Initially, I had to feed it every 3 hours day and night with a syringe with the needle removed. As the puppy becomes more independent, hopefully, I will continue to
