Sparky Linux on My Intel NUC

The Sparky Linux 7 installer is not called Calamara but Orient Belt.

m new to Intel's NUC box which is cute and noiseless.

I love quiet mode that is conducive for my writing mode.

It is little bigger than an average cellphone but not rectangular but a perfect square which make orientation on six side meaningful.

Except for camera backside of a cellphone is redundant.

One can open the backside of NUC and slot in a small SATA hard disk.

It is portable and do not buy the bigger versions.

There are much slimmer versions from other OEM guys but they are expensive.

They will come down in price given time I wish I could buy a slimmer one before I kick the bucket.

Complete exit from this war mongering planet and galaxy.

Biggest hindrance is Power Cuts.
I have Debian in the inside chip of the NUC box and Ubuntu and Mint on a Western Digital external box.
The Visual BIOS is bit of a pain.
I mounted Sparky Linux on another WD SATA using my PC.
I could not mount it.
Finally I decided to undo chip set boot option and set it for USB boot.
After several attempts at F2 function key it booted.
I have said I have begun to like Sparky Linux and I am going to make it my workhorse.
It is Debian based and it has it's own APT application center.
It has VLC media player and Exaile music player.

I want to play some music from a Standard SD (micro SD) card.

I have not tried it yet.
Besides I have two Bluetooth speakers and music can be played without a computer.

Next problem is transferring my music downloads from my cellphone.

All these are nice entertainment for an old guy.

I end saying Sparky Linux is fabulous.

What I really like about Sparky Linux is it has brought back my memory of 8 workplaces (mind you not 8 windows cluttering the monitor) to any which I can switch and letting the others to work in the background, like downloading a Linux iso image.

Most Linux distributions are finiky    about internet connection but Sparky is not.

My advice is to install Linux without internet connection and both Ubuntu and Mint have heeded to our request and one can install without Internet.

But there is a big pause before disconnecting or looking for home site.

Just sit and wait till it comes back to install mode and partitioning.

By the way, after lot of trouble I got Emmabantus installed in my second hard disk of the PC.
I have to use a DVD and it won't boot from a USB.
