#POTATO MUSH CLIENT OPTIONS WINDOW INSTALL#
But, I wasn’t interested in doing too much with the live system, I wanted to do a full install right away. From first glace, I was very happy with what I saw. The GNUStep image is a “live” distribution, so once I boot my netbook with the USB plugged in, it took just a couple of minutes for it to boot up and present me with a fully functional Window Maker environment. Once downloaded, I used dd to transfer it to a USB storage device and I was on my way. The GNUStep iso is just a little over 900MB.

Besides, the iso file shows a last update date of June 2021, so it’s quite up-to-date none-the-less. So, I decided that the stable branch, P9, would probably give me the best experience. From what I can gather (and if I’m wrong, please forgive me), P10 is their development build and I’ve read that others have experienced language issues with it – for those of us who don’t understand Russian. I decided to go with the P9 build, rather than the latest P10, because it’s classified as ALT’s “stable build”.
I chose the SysV build simply because it’s been working out great for me with my Exe GNU/Linux system, so I’ll continue to stick with it, over systemd. Next to TDE, Window Maker is my second favourite desktop environment/window manager and I was anxious to give it a try once again. I would have preferred to use a Trinity desktop option, but ALT doesn’t have a modern TDE option at the moment. Choosing My Flavour of ALT LinuxĪfter spending some time exploring the ALT Linux website and all the different flavours of the OS that are available, I decided to go with the P9 “Starter Kit” GNUstep sysv option ( more about Starter Kits). So, a return to an independent OS, like ALT Linux, seems like the right thing to do. I’ve also been discovering a few things about Debian / *buntu based Linux distros – and who may be behind some of those projects – which has me second guessing their motivations. So I’m expecting it to be a smooth installation process. There’s been plenty of time since I last tried to run ALT on my netbook it should now be very capable of running perfectly fine on netbooks in general.

So, reluctantly, I moved on to other Linux distros so I could enjoy my new netbook PCs to their fullest albeit at the risk of running less stable versions of Linux I was accustomed to running.īut now, I want to return to the stability and reliability that ALT Linux once provided me, as my PC of choice is still my ACER Aspire One netbook. During the days of the netbooks, I found it difficult to get ALT working properly on these new PCs because of the slower pace. But, this was a trade-off with slower development of their “stable” branch. One of the things that I liked so much about ALT was that it was stable. This is also when I started having some compatibility issues with ALT. This is when netbook PCs became my computer of choice.
#POTATO MUSH CLIENT OPTIONS WINDOW SOFTWARE#
ALT has now become it’s own independent Linux distro, with it’s own custom admin tools, package manager, and software repository (Sisyphus).Īlthough I did test drive many different versions of Linux, ALT remained on my main PC right up until 2009. It wasn’t long, after I installed ALT Junior 2.2 (back in 2003) that it replaced Mandriva as my OS of choice. It wasn’t long before I heard about a fork of the Mandrake (or what later became Mandriva) project, called ALT, which closer adhered to the methodology that made Mandrake special to me. Not all of their changes were particularly bad, but as what happens with most operating systems, it started to get bogged down as it evolved.
As Mandrake evolved and grew, the company (as many do with success) started to make changes. I never went back to Microsoft after that. I really liked Mandrake and it made Linux my operating system of choice. When I first moved from MS-Windows (98) to Linux, I chose the Mandrake distribution as my OS. I decided to go back to my Linux roots and revisit one of the first Linux distributions I ever used: ALT Linux.Ī Bit Of My Linux History (skip to the next part if you’re not interested)
