Commodore 3.1 Linux Update

Commodore 3.1 Linux Update

It took a long time to for me to figure out how it works.

I could not install Gnome on top of the MATE desktop which was complete disappointment. 

Even getting to email and my blog post was big hassle. 

Nevertheless it a very good effort and desktop animations are interesting and better than Elive Linux. No hindering to my efforts.

 I generally do not try to manipulate configurations except adding Abiword, Bluefish, Gparted and Stacer and I accept what is given at install time. It look ugly but now it is OK.

Even getting VLC was a big issue.

However, I have got both Lmms, VLC and audacity working now.

My basic NUC does not have Audio but I stick a USB Audio and stick a earphones and listen yo music.

I am Listrning to David Both at Perl Conference. An excellent orator and a simple minded. Listen to comments from the audience patiently.

Thank YOU.

It has Synaptic Package Manager and first was AbiWord and second was Firefox. Next of course Audacity and Lmms.

Lmms did not return an icon to launch 

Audacity is already there and I go for Blender, now.

It is OK. 

To begin with it is a big Iso Image of nearly 10GB.

It needs at least 50GB of Hard Disk.
Debian did not recognize my old NTFS Partition due probably due to sanitary reasons and I could not access saved Isos and I decided to convert it to EXT4 to install Commodore OS.
I can type in some of my Commodore Commands of 1984. I had a Commodore 64 and its Power Input got busted and I could not find a replacement in CEYLON.

Thank You Commodore Linux for using AntiX and MXLinux 23.4 for reviving old game consoles.
I was looking for AntiX derivative.
All these would be on my book Linux Essentials.
It takes a long time to install and it is in final stages.
No User name or passed when installing but I guess it may be asking it at  boot time.
Hope it would not ruin my GRUB with 7 other operating systems.
