My old days were on DOS¹. I am a relative newcomer to the Unix world, starting about 1999. But I grew up with the “old values”, including their reasons. >bullshit. Not one fucking ounce. You value the BSDs and use them. You >existed in the freesoftware world before linux came around and will Hm, if you can count whatever BASIC and asm stuff I did between 1998 and 1991 – which I did not publish, due to age, and lack of computer network… >still exist there when linux goes away, and before that you existed in >the pure unix realm of the 60s and 70s. Pure realm maybe, but neither earthy nor unix. >Will you be going with the debian fork? I will absolutely not be going with a Debian fork. However, I invite the “progressive” party within Debian to create a derivate, not fork but maybe even a pure blend, in which they can integrate systemd, GNOME, etc. “better”, and only x86/ARM with the accelerated 3D graphics, while continuing to support the “Universal OS” Debian to some amount. Basically a different installer, defaults or configs, if needs be, and possibly different packages, if at all. bye, //mirabilos ① still have real DOS dual boot around… and floppies… -- 15:39⎜«mika:#grml» mira|AO: "mit XFree86® wär’ das nicht passiert" - muhaha 15:48⎜<thkoehler:#grml> also warum machen die xorg Jungs eigentlich alles kaputt? :) 15:49⎜<novoid:#grml> thkoehler: weil sie als Kinder nie den gebauten Turm selber umschmeissen durften? -- ~/.Xmodmap wonders… -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
