Missing ARM based distros
As usual also on your site the world of ARM processors is completely ignored.
It would be fine to be able to download the rootfs-es compiled on ARM processors ( armhf/armel ) easily without running/searching all over the net. There are many distros available already : Debian,Ubuntu( K-,L-,X-),Fedora,Picuntu,Slackware, SuSE,Gentoo,Arch,Red Sleeve,.......... |

First of all I am now 68 years old.
I have been trying to get linux to just work. I bought my one at BestBuy fifteen years ago figuring a bought version would work. It was Suse version.It came in a box with five or six CDs. Never got it to work. I am still trying to use linux and trying how to figure out how to install driver software or any other. Also I am sometimes wireless connect to my router but can not get online. Arbitrarily I get disconnected and keep having to reboot to get reconnected. I am now trying SUSE 13.2 I was using 12.2 GNOME desktop. Will not stay hooked up wireless.Thinking about trying Ubuntu. I have three wireless USB adapters ASUS N300,Netgear WNA3100 and Netopia TER/GUSB2-N is the oldest and slowest but seemed to be most reliable. All have linux drivers on the CD but can not figure out how to install them. Trying to use YAST has never succeeded. I just use the wireless connection setup. Sorry if this is not the place for this post but I would like to get a bit of helpful advise. |

But e.g. CRUX eems not to have an ARM rootfs ( didnt find one ). Other distros are missing e.g. Arch and Picuntu ( 4 at least, 5 seems not to be ready in a tarred form ). |

I can only say that I use preferably on Intel ( x83/32Bit ) the Linux Mint, PCLinuxOS or of course Debian/Ubuntu. What concerns WiFi this can be difficult according to my experience: but the program "wicd" was always of great help to me. Hope you have at least Ethernet LAN connection to be able to make some downloads. |

stated a fact that applies to any one that just wants a Linux OS that works. without all the hassles? I think I have been a member for enough years and tried a lot of OS's that used to work better in the beginning, and have actually gone backwards. now we have the integration of smart phones,tablets and computers.The Impact of which is a lot of web pages not loading because locations cannot be found. And now we have all the so called programmers wanting their own OS. would be better if they just improved things. Like over 2.000 that don't work well? and still we have sound cards that don't configure? we have networks that refuse to work including WI-FI . So yes I agree with m1sf1t that we need more quality and less OS's. The day that one of you stop suggesting we use silly words like app-get instead of click here for what you want? we will have done a good job. Now I'm back to Win_7 until the next Linux OS I try? And NO I won't do another offshoot of Ubuntu,yuck p.s. mint was pretty good. |
Congratulations on such a round number
