I would love to learn more about Arch or Gentoo, I do read quite alot but just have to learn most everything about these operating systems the hard way. I may be a bit slow I wish there was a few people in my area that I could learn more from. I started reading some about Gentoo late last winter early spring this past year. I do have interest, it all takes time.

I upgraded a headless server to Ubuntu 14.04 from LTS to LTS without issues at all. It's a fairly decent set of hardware (desktop hardware) 8 gigs of ram, etc. If you don't like having release upgrades have you considered a rolling distro like Gentoo or Arch? -------- Original message --------From: Dan Armbrust Date:11/04/2014 1:47 AM (GMT-06:00) To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Want an old video card out of your closet?

Its pure PCI - close to 20 years old or more. It was the only thing I had after I swapped hardware around that would work... my "better" retired video cards were AGP... but this MB doesn't have an AGP slot. Think http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S3_Trio Before the upgrade, it worked, and managed a laughable 640x480. After the upgrade, the TTYs are all garbled (probably wrong timing) and while the logon screen works - so X sometimes works - on logon, it immediately segfaults. I'm sure I could fix it... but I just don't care to :) Usually with upgrading on an LTS now means --- nothing new is gonna happen for about 4 years. Which is just what I want on this computer. Every time I upgrade it, I waste a day fixing what they broke :( _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
