Re: The future of Porteus
Maybe the exotism and the having to learn something is something that we still are looking for. There is arch linux and arch linux type (manjaro). Same basic distribution, but completely different philosophy. Here in porteus forum stand more on the manjaro side in terms of mission, but we really admire the arch linux accomplishment.
As an arch linux connoisseur, if you have a solution to the rolling release problem associated with arch linux or manjaro, it would be appreciated:

Thanks.

Thank God.....Please stay with Slackware, brokenman. This is the reason I became a Porteus user, Slackware
in a compact, wonderfully useful, live CD distribution.
THANKS...

Re: The future of Porteus
You wish has been realised. Quote brokenman, the preceding post:
The decision has been made to go with slackware for at least another release while another strategy is decided upon
and even further:
http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=5602
I maintain that manjaro or arch linux as base for porteus has interesting advantages.

Re: The future of Porteus
Good to hear we stay with Slackware for a while, while I downloaded Nemesis more than once, I was not able to try it due to having lost a monitor and not replaced it, meaning I am a PC short of playing around with and I prefer of having at least one running stable system. Well, stable with the downside of usm not working for unknown reason...
Cheers!

I have speaker, monitor, optical scroll mouse and keyboard always as external parts to any PC, unless it's a notebook of course, then I still often prefer an external optical scroll mouse.

Re: The future of Porteus
Oh well, that is partly right with me as well, my other main PC, the Athlon one, had indeed the newer monitor I now use with the Pentium, since that monitor broke down, and I also was too lazy to check which monitor is currently a good bargain, low price but still good quality that will last for some years, since especially the last part is sometimes not so well with newer components...francois wrote:Nemesis more than once, I was not able to try it due to having lost a monitor and not replaced it
Did I mention that this happened? Could be that I did and just forgot...
I mean, I still have the other monitor, but he switches off, then on, then off again, not in the way it would when it really lost its signal, more in a one-tiny-electronic-part failure kind of way...
(It was a small one, seriously, 1024x768 is a sucky resolution.

Re: The future of Porteus
Nemesis lxde edition was troubleshooted almost completely and functional. I worked with it.
And I am in it now in vbox. It still works. With pman wrapper for pacman you get the porteus module feeling.

Here is my module list for Porteus current KDE5. After the last update to plasma 5.6.3, kcalc won't start.
X versions (some) of Porteus Scripts do the wrong task (text ones are ok). That is for you and fanthom to debug.
To start KDE5 with splash and wallpaper you must start in cli, run qdbus and startx. Otherwise you get a blank screen and a pointer for about 5 minutes and then the normal startup screen.
Could be of help...
Regards!

Porteus is proud of the FASTEST KDE ever made.....(take akonadi, nepomuk and soprano out and you will have a decent OS).
