My Priorities in Linux

Entry into Linux was a pure accident.

I cannot think I will make this year the Penguin Year.

Equally, I will devote my twilight years for Linux and its progress.

Over twenty years, I had been critical of Linux my early interest was to promote Linux games and if possible code some games.

I bought a book on Linux Games but never read a single page (I was a busy medical guy).

During my Windows time I devoted my time on Databases.

I was annoyed when database activity was taken over by a big company called Oracle.

That would have been the reason for me migrating to Linux (apart from many other personal reason).

I have developed an aversion for Bill Gate and he getting involved in Epstein Sags, I could never envisioned.

This happens when somebody has lot of money, especially when ill gotten and they make bad friends.

When, I kick the bucket, I have no regrets.

This cannot be said about Kings, Queens and Presidents.

I think people will be happy when some of these wealthy guys kick the bucket (I myself was happy, in some cases).

In Linux I want  few capabilities.

1. Live Session.

2. Internet connectivity especially WiFi.

3. Browser (not one but many in my case)

4. Torrent client for downloading Linux images.

5. I may have downloaded thousands of images and tested all of them.

Making an Archive was my vision when Linux was not popular.

6. My current target is to make Linux hit 10% of the PC market.

Never 100%. I do not care less for Apple, Microsoft or any other operating systems including BSD.

7. I am slowly shifting to Android Application.Currently installing Android Studio.

So my targets are not even 10.

SLAX Linux is not USB bootable

 Yes. SLAX Linux is not USB bootable.

It is based on Slakware and is a minimal distribution.

It can be mounted on the BOX virtual machine.

Easy OS Version 5 is Great

I downloaded easy OS 5 version and it is great. However, I was looking for VM-Ware but could not find any.

It configured my WiFi effortlessly and this is posted in a Live session.

I could not get Vivaldi from FlatPak in both with Debian and Ubuntu.

Vivaldi is 96% Free Software and 4% Proprietary but is a very good browser where it allows add blocking.

Thank YOU EasyOS.


This was in 2020

 I forgot to mention both EasyOS and FatPup do not support my new NUC IBM PC Box.

But both support my old IBM computer.

Thanks to Dialog, IBM NUC Box and Linux Community. In under 10 minutes I was running Puppy on my son's old computer.

It was only 5 minute downloading and writing an image on a 16 GB stick.

No image compression now and capacity was little over 800MB after installation.

It took just 4 minutes for writing a persistent image in my old  rotating disk.

Puppy Linux was my entry to Linux and I love Dogs and Puppy Linux.

Thanks guys in Australia for reviving Easy OS.
