MALsPa's Space: October 2014
http://monksblog-malspa.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
A few words from M.A.L.'s dad - Albuquerque, NM. Tuesday, October 28, 2014. No thanks, mint. The "crippled" Synaptic Package Manager that Linux Mint ships with has been one of the main reasons I've stayed away from the distro since I stopped using it after the Mint 9 ("Isadora") release. For users like me, it looks like things have only gotten worse. Here's Ken Starks in "Synaptic Vs. Update Manager in Linux Mint". In the comments following the article, one person wrote:. Leave it up to the user to decid...

MALsPa's Space: antiX installed
http://monksblog-malspa.blogspot.com/2015/08/antix-installed.html
A few words from M.A.L.'s dad - Albuquerque, NM. Sunday, August 2, 2015. AntiX's Control Centre is helpful for getting some things configured:. In some situations the user might prefer to just to edit config files directly:. So, now I have both antiX-15 and Lubuntu 14.04 LTS on this CQ57. Both are light-weight distros that do okay with the hardware. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This Day in History. Linux blogs and news.

MALsPa's Space: April 2015

A few words from M.A.L.'s dad - Albuquerque, NM. Monday, April 20, 2015. A man, a coach. A book about one of the greatest basketball coaches of all time: Breaking Through: John B. McLendon, Basketball Legend and Civil Rights Pioneer. By Milton S. Katz. Always conducting himself with class and quiet dignity, battling segregation and discrimination every step of the way, McLendon pioneered a fast-breaking style of basketball; as well, as Katz notes in Breaking Through. When McLendon passed away in 1999:.

MALsPa's Space: not quite good enough
http://monksblog-malspa.blogspot.com/2015/06/not-quite-good-enough.html
A few words from M.A.L.'s dad - Albuquerque, NM. Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Not quite good enough. The Cinnamon desktop leaves me feeling a bit disappointed. I have it installed in Debian Jessie, and I also have an installation of Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE 2) with Cinnamon. Expo would be about the same as using GNOME Shell's Activities overview, except the Expo view doesn't give me access to other applications like the Activities overview does. Doesn't give me enough of what I'd want in a panel, I f...

MALsPa's Space: as stable as Stable?
http://monksblog-malspa.blogspot.com/2015/06/as-stable-as-stable.html
A few words from M.A.L.'s dad - Albuquerque, NM. Wednesday, June 24, 2015. As stable as Stable? Linux Mint Debian Edition 2 ("Betsy") and Debian Jessie (the current Debian Stable) differ in some important ways besides LMDE 2's quicker and easier installation and set-up. LMDE 2 is based on Jessie, but package updates are not handled the same as in Jessie. Deb http:/ packages.linuxmint.com betsy main upstream import.

A few words from M.A.L.'s dad - Albuquerque, NM. Tuesday, March 24, 2015. MX Linux has turned out to be a unique and special distro (even as DistroWatch continues to leave it off their list of distros! To the DistroWatch announcement about the latest release (note that MX is called a "special edition" of antiX). This MEPIS/MX Community page has interesting info about the current release: http:/ www.mepiscommunity.org/features. Here's how MX-14.4 is set up by default, with the Whisker menu showing:. I've ...

MALsPa's Space: good site for linux info
http://monksblog-malspa.blogspot.com/2015/07/good-site-for-linux-info.html
A few words from M.A.L.'s dad - Albuquerque, NM. Sunday, July 12, 2015. Good site for linux info. If you're looking for some useful information about Linux, you might want to check out the Easy Linux tips project. It focuses primarily on Ubuntu and Linux Mint, but there's quite a bit that will apply to other distros as well. The website's author asks that users "configure your ad blocker to make an exception for this website," which I think is a fair request. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A Quick H...
