[tde-users] Re: Well, you've sold me, but . . .

said William Morder via tde-users: | You might consider giving antiX (especially) a try.

Everything is already packaged together. Thanks but nah, the argument for Debian is and always has been that Debian *is* Linux. I've seen lots of distros come and go, always a flavor of he month. Debian has been around for 30 years. I'll surely have to confound some of its decisions; that's why God in His wisdom deputized Miguel to make mc. (I've spent much of the afternoon confounding Canonical things on this machine, which has been fun; it would have been more fun if there were a way to redeploy their spyware to send them false information, even as I wish there were phone apps to flood Apple and Google and their minions with phony data, such as moving me 500 miles every 30 seconds or so.) I expect it to take, probably, a couple of very miserable weeks, but then it will be done. Making things worse is the alredy very unhappy fact that my Debian guru, who advised me about Linux since before I ever installed Linux, got the bug last spring and lasted three days. You can't imagine how many times I've reached for the phone and then said, "oh, yeah . . ." (He was the test kitchen for the Que book I wrote about KDE-1.x) Nope. Gotta be Debian. Gotta land a taildragger sometime. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/
