... and Auckland?

Wisconsin, USA. But close on the beer-consumption scale, I'd guess. (source: I'm a former Twin Cities Minnesota resident who's been to Madison, had a girlfriend from NZ once, and can name my favorite Metalhead BL forum member)

What's this about Auckland? What a shithole.

Re: Distro-hoppers anonymous

Did you choose install from a grub screen or from the running live ISO? On some distros the grub choice doesn't sort right and vice/versa. Just depends.

Currently working on Dev Excalibur. Fast system.

Thanks for replying. I think it may have been from a grub screen, though I'm not sure and will check next time.

Re: Distro-hoppers anonymous

I lived in Minneapolis one summer with my Aunt and cousins. Third grade or so. Never been to NZ. Never been out of the US except PR and the VI though I've been to every state except California, Alaska, Hawaii and Delaware. Moved to Milwaukee in High School. My three wives were all from Milwaukee. My kids live everywhere. Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Washington state, Colorado, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, PR and St. Thomas VI. I have cousins, Aunts, Uncles, nieces, nephews, and grandchildren in 33 states, PR, the VI, and Cuba. My Mother is still alive and lucid 95 years. She's still planning a revolutionary takeover.

Re: Distro-hoppers anonymous

I've installed MX again and gone back a version - so I'm on 23.6 (Bookworm), with Melodie's Openbox-based desktop called Bento.

The advantage of using the older version is that I can still install and use 32-bit software, such as Icedove (which for me is still by far the easiest and most convenient e-mail client to use).

So far everything's working great except that because it's the Bento version it's not exactly flush with included software, so I had to install quite a lot of things myself - there's no office suite as standard, for example. It doesn't take long though and if I was smart about it I could probably write a script to install several packages at once.
