Do they mean shares as in, shares of a publicly traded company, or is this just glorified crowdfunding?

Probably best not to ask for that level of reporting from the BBC.

So is the idea to cheapen coffee given that the price of it is likely to increase with potential tariffs and climate change?

Or is it just because?

How else are you supposed to treat the peasantry? They ought to know their place.

"I've seen this one before!"

Not really - there's plenty of use cases where running memory intensive stuff like that isn't an issue and running a small footprint distro makes more sense than, say, a maximalist, fully featured desktop distro.

I'm not trying to run a media centre or play games on my 11 year old MacBook!

Point taken!

I don't think the lite distros are to blame for performance drops in that case, are they? Unless it's down to a lack of system optimisation.

Fair enough!

I've done some blindingly stupid things with my installs in the past, and I'm not angling to try any in the near future - I guess I'll just embrace the reinstallation game!

"Accidentally threw it away" really sounds more like "threw it away, didn't have a backup, he now regrets throwing it away".

Dread to think what his solicitor is making by allowing this delusion to continue (unless he's representing himself in which case...fair enough I suppose). I've been reading about this man for years it seems like.

That's a blast from the past! I used to run #! On my 701...

So if there's additional repositories does that mean that there is likely to be core functionality which would be broken if it stops being maintained?

 

I have an old notebook which I've been toying with a few smaller distros on (typically easy to install, liveCD types), and while I enjoy the tinkering aspects of this, I had a thought that I've been mulling.

In the past I've run distributions based on larger, better supported, systems (Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, etc.) and if or when they have folded, like crunchbang did, or PeppermintOS (however briefly), I just changed them out.

However, if I were to go back to peppermintOS, say, would it be feasible to 'convert' the system to the parent distribution? So, could I force peppermintOS to 'become' Debian, for example? Or is this overly simplistic? It's a level of engagement with my operating systems that I just haven't had!
