I agree with you (RHEL) CentOS have LTS support for 10 years (CentOS version
7 released in July 2014 will be supported till 2024).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CentOS
Personal opinion here but I'd totally rather see something RHEL-based than
fedora-based (I mean, which is the testbed for which and which one's release
gets supported for longer?)
The configuration of the live image is defined by a file called kickstart. It
can include some basic system configuration items, the package manifest and a
script to be run at the end of the build process.

Will there be SuSE and urpmi editions, which dnf (from Fedora) is become
unstable due to a weak connectivity?
I have some experience with the Emacs mail/news reader, web client, Org Mode,
and the Dismal spreadsheet, all with the accessibility thing called
Emacspeak. I found the web client (emacs-w3) hard to use, and only useful on
the simplest of web sites; not just referring to JScript, here.
Lets hope so :D
so you just make a gnu/linux operating system
automaticly boot to emacs everytime you start it up?
Not exactly, but I spend most of my tube time on it. For instance, there is a
web browser, Usenet reader, mail client, IRC program, etc. with Emacs so it
conceivably can be started at boot. M-x term brings up the shell, so..
Huh, that's interesting. I wonder what kind of distro it'll end up being.
No freeme. GdNewHat people are working on an independent distribution. They
have halted their devolopment of GdNewHat ans suggested BLAG repos as an
alternative to their users. See the link to their new distro under
development. http://www.pugnix.org/
I got it from the FSF mirror like Heather.
It seems like he is building a cathedral. Why can't he release early?
Although it is possible that is is just SO innovative that it needs to be
unveiled when it's ready.
I am excited about this. Of course, 20k will be old-ish, but if more users
contribute, BLAG can release new versions very quickly because Fedora is 98%
free.
Is it OK to install on a computer, for web browsing? I have BLAG 14k on a
laptop and was wondering if BLAG 20k alpha is in a usable state.
My *real* laptop runs the *true* GNU operating system, Emacs.
There is a MATE version. I took the Live DVD for a spin, and it's great.
I was pleased to discover that the BLAG GNOME 20 live medium seems to
have a complete GNOME 3.10, including orca screen reader. I haven't yet
checked the Mate spin. My earlier test was on 14. 20 does not seem
to see my Think Penguin USB wifi radio; that's for another topic or
Parabola('s stable branch) seems to be more cutting than bleeding edge to me.
I can make some allowances for your machine. But they're not relevant in the
face of what I see: the fallback error image, the *dreadful* font
rendering, and SeaMonkey as a browser.
So, if your car's engine doesn't work, that car is oppressing you?
What if the car's engine dies? Or what if a program stops working because you
upgraded a dependency? Is the car or program now suddenly oppressing you?
I'm sorry, but your logic is insanely flawed. A tool being broken isn't
The first and most fundamental purpose of software is to run. A free program
that does not do what the user wants is more restrictive than a proprietary
program that does do what the user wants, because the first does not fulfill
software's fundamental purpose, while the second does.
is there a download?
looks awesome!
but i rely liked there old theme i wish they had uses mate or xfce insted of
gnome3 :(
Looks good!
Doesn't SeaMonkey have the same trademark problem as Firefox? If so, it needs
to be rebranded (Debian rebranded it as Iceape but later got rid of it)
Nice to see it's still active!
Blag 2000 comes with GNOME 3 (non-fallback) by default, right?
That's nice.
It does (all the while being left in Parabola's dust, of course).
Where did you get this version of BLAG? The latest I see on the download page
(http://www.blagblagblag.org/download/index.html) is 14.
My Blag has MATE; i got it here:
ftp://blag.fsf.org/20/Live/x86_64/Alpha/
thanks to islander.
It's not just you, Jaded. Bleeding edge software isn't a huge concern for me,
but security updates are. It's still nice to see choices.
I tried a BLAG GNOME live image, and found that it has no accessibility,
thereby denying a class of users freedom #0, nevermind the other three.
Praise be to Parabola, which allows you to tippy toe along the bleeding edge
with a system that won't betray you.
Now, as far as BLAG goes, is it true the Gdnewhat guys are now working on
BLAG? Their website refers users to BLAG and Gdnewhat proved long ago they
could get a fully free
I'm glad to see that there's active development of fully free systems.
Freedom 0 is “The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any
purpose” [1]. This doesn't mean that a neccesary condition or a program to
be free is that everybody is able to do everything with a program; that's
I agree that it's not a freedom problem, but it *is* a problem and should be
fixed with high priority.
