Re: Mageia 3

I'd be happy to answer a question had one been asked. There wasn't! As for Windows and GUI.. windows is GUI. Before Windows there was MSDOS and I agree the performance was MUCH faster even with way less CPU, memory, disk space, etc. I think that is kind of a tricycle vs SUV comparison, though. Glad ...

Re: Mageia 3

Guess if you don't want progs that use graphical interface there is always text based... so 1970's!

Re: OpenMandriva

Oh, so alpha/beta isn't real?(No it is not moondrake by the way) Nice creative logic! Guess you can make any conclusion that way. :wall: May not be gold release yet, but it is real... working rather well, actually! I also agree with Viking about Gnome 3, I never did care much about Gnome anyway, so ...

Re: OpenMandriva

Yeah, baby, you got it! I wasn't kidding, btw, about Gnome 2.32 and KDE 3.5. Get after it, guys. Make me want this imaginary distro. Hmm, Knew you were not kidding. I have this imaginary distro running in Vbox! The Gnome 2.32 and KDE 3.5 part is imaginary and will likely stay that way. I, for one, ...

Re: OpenMandriva

Oh, and be sure it will load from 3.5" floppy and run like greased lightning on a 386SX 16Mhz! :lol:

PS It is ok though, if it requires a full 2 Megabytes of RAM!

Re: OpenMandriva

Well, I reinstalled the latest Moondrake, added OMA cooker repos, updated 600+ packages, reinstalled drakconf with --allow-force, now low and behold, I have a mostly working OpenRosaMoonDriva! It appears Moondrake and OpenMandriva are drifting farther and farther apart. The mix of package versions f...

Re: OpenMandriva

You can reinstall drakconf. Seems seahorse is a dependency and the actual problem. That said the latest update and I'm not booting... hanging up on a netmanager issue! Also seems they are in the process of changing the branding stuff. Think I'll give it a couple days and reinstall!

Re: The NAME!

Yep, that makes since. Convincing Mageia? That is a whole 'nuther thing! I am starting to lean towards Apfelstrudel! Wonder if anyone has a copyright on that? Maybe I'll copyright it myself! probably some issue with"prior art"( or prior food!), though!

Re: The NAME!

I think Macdriva would be a fine name for an OSX replacement.. otherwise? Not so much. May also incur the rath of Apple!

We need a 'none of the above' option?

Re: OpenMandriva

That date, I think, is comparable to the "announcement" of the fork by Mageia. Announcing and existing are not the same! With Mageia.. it pretty much was! or at least closer. 2. OMA has taken over the existing cooker repositories. That have not produced a stable release since 2011 and eve...

Re: OpenMandriva

Viking60, I by no means totally disagree with you. Things could/should have been handled better. In my opinion, non qualifying entries should have been eliminated before the vote, and then the vote should have been accepted, period. But remember, this is a new organization, hopefully they will learn...

Re: OpenMandriva

... The end, good-bye to all the Mandriva-type crap, to include the notion of a stupid "association" modelled after the same crap that brought Mandriva down in the end. There will be no such thing in my life, henceforth, as an "OpenMandriva" or anything associated with it. You w...
