I just hope those emulators run at sane speeds with the arm6 processor
Thanks for your helpful link, I don't know how to use google search

I wonder how it works with different versions from the CLIKeening_Product wrote: NEW DISTRO: I've just downloaded GoboLinux 015 to run on my netbook, which should be interesting. The distro changes the way the operating system stores binaries, the most obvious difference being the centralisation of all program files into logical directory structure under /programs. It seems to use the structure of /programs/program_name/version/, meaning multiple versions of the same program can run at the same time - not a feature I plan to use but an interesting side effect.
that's almost as strange as compiz running better than xfce...Keening_Product wrote: Also, I switched from Mate and XFCE to Cinnamon, which, surprisingly, runs faster than XFCE did. Wat.

Actually that was a whole other enterprise which took place just on ten years ago. Those machines were around the Pentium I era and were destined to become Windows 98 and FreeDOS computers. Networking in raw DOS was one of the major objectives heere, so we could play the likes of Death Rally and Duke 3D multiplayer without having to install Windows. Alas, I did have to cull many of those computers from my collection at one point, but still enough remain to form a decently sized exhibit one day.explains the pics of you with stacks of PCs on nosebook.
I've never had any success installing a raw Debian distro despite repeated attempts over the past decade. antiX, Sparky, Knoppix and now MiniNo are the main ones that have proven cooperative. All of these have reasonably straightforward installation procedures, some almost as smooth as Ubuntu or Mint.Does it have the same overload of permission screens Debian has?
Indeed. I avoided it at first in favour of Antergos, but it drew me back in because it supports both LXDE and Xfce, while Antergos has an Xfce version but no LXDE. I'm using the Xfce edition on my development PC, but plan to do some Arch Linux stuff at the Makerspace in the near future where LXDE will be the desktop of choice and using the same distro for both will limit the necessity of relearning.Bridge's website would have to be one of the worst out there.
Aye, mainly just that. Although it's a great experience to build a system from scratch, I've done that too many times over the past 12 months and I just want something that's solid and functional without so much potential for broken stuff during setup.What do you like about it? Or is it just that it's Arch with some of the installation pain removed?
I'm not a huge fan of Cinnamon. It's been installed on my primary PC for about a year and there are just little things that annoy me. Such as not being able to access the shut down button with the arrow keys on the menu, all the configuration stuff being kept in a Control Panel style interface rather than directly accessible from the System/Preferences menus as in Xfce and LXDE, and some other things like that. There have probably been improvements since this version as I'm currently stranded on an abandoned non LTS edition of Mint, or maybe there are tweaks I'm overlooking. But Xfce still feels like home. Still, Cinnamon is definitely far preferable to KDE, while I'd rate it just below MATE overall,As for Mint: did you see there is an official MATE spin of Ubuntu coming? Should be good. I've been running Cinnamon on Ubuntu for a couple of months now and it's proved stable and effective. And, as mentioned before, somehow more responsive than XFCE.
KDE is nice and very costumisable, but honestly I'm a bigger fan of Gnome and it's shell. I tend to switch often because I get excited about the new features they release. I also tend to switch to XFCE, it is awesome for system with lower resources.Keening_Product wrote:I noticed you were using KDE in your screenshots. I've been planning to shift to KDE when Ubuntu 14.10 comes out for some time now - gave it a shot a while back and it's a great shell.
Also looking at getting an SSD - should be interesting to see how that goes. I was shown a 2.2Ghz dual Celeron boot to the Win7 desktop in five seconds using one the other week.
