A novice in on of the LQ forums recently complained that he couldn't understand version numbers in Linux. That's not perhaps surprising because software version numbers are used in several different ways, often simultaneously. Every program or library that is in active development goes through different versions as its developer adds features or corrects reported bugs. The Linux kernel is no exception, for it is, after all a program. But over the years, the kernel versioning system has become a...

ABOUT ExTiX 20.9 – Build 200825
I have made a new version of ExTiX – The Ultimate Linux System. I call it ExTiX 20.9 KDE Anbox Live DVD. (The previous KDE version was 20.2 from 200127).

So I have hit a memory barrier, and it is the memory between my ears; and I have hit a limit of what I actually WANT to install.

New Toys, New Distros

Posted 08-16-2020 at 03:31 PM by zaivala

I managed to sell one of my laptops for a goodly bit of money. With the proceeds, I put half into my household budget and went to town buying new stuff. I have a new microphone for my podcasts, and the sound is much better. I bought a new USB sound card for my RPi 4. But the biggest purchases were a 1 Tb SSD for my desktop and a 512 Gb SSD for my laptop.

With the desktop, I cloned my old 256 Gb SSD to the new 1 Tb, and then created 5 more partitions in the space left. I already had...
