Libranet On The Rocks

An anonymous reader writes "Following the death of his father Jon, it looks as though Tal is going to finally throw in the towel with regards the running of Libranet. Given his age and his personal circumstances who can blame in? But on a purely selfish level, is there anyone out there who can help save my favourite distribution?"

    ...so stupid, they're probably not a term limits joke.

    What does that even mean? And do you really think a silly little part of the Constitution is gonna stop my boy from running again? How very unpatriotic of you!

    I'd say that suggesting a violation of the Constitution, as a joke or not, is rather unpatriotic.

    I'm using the GPL 2D only nv driver, and it works fine, gives a fine resolution, super clear picture, in Knoppix 3.6, which is a Debian clone distro. True I don't play 3d games, but the official, non-GPL nvidia driver's 2D isn't better at all, and I'm just too lazy to reinstall it everytime I wipe the partition to reinstall Knoppix to the harrdrive in 20 minutes, having all my important data on separate partitions, except some emails and files I back up. Easiest way to keep your system clean and running in top shape - have a garbage heap of data drive where you toss all your junk that you may need later, and a super-clean, OS only partition, whether it's windows or linux. Everytime you mess it up, install wrong gcc, mess up your libs, clutter up your symlinks, easy does it, burn a cd from the iso image, pop in the cd, wipe, reinstall, done. No looking for needle in a haystack, just replace the haystack with a fresh one.
