[machiner]

Does an abacus count -- how about a sliderule?

OK OK -- in 1983 I built the Tandy trs-80 (85) at school for a project. We did the build/burn-in, configures for Tandy in our region. I was way too cool to brag about it though. In those days in HS - computers were for (fill in appropriate derrogatory adjective). Who knows what OS it used? Also in '83 we learned BASIC -- again -- who knows what OS we were using -- things were pretty slim in those days.

We had a Colecovision, too -- does that count? Some OS ran it...

BUt I'll play nice:

What about those cool-**** punch cards we had in the '70's....now those were hi-tech!

Operating systems you use at school / work: Ubuntu, sloppy
I've been wondering-- what does that even mean? Ubuntu, sloppy?

[Lovechild]

I dunno.. I used seriously, as in I could make it do stuff, was some older version of MS-DOS, 3.something I think

[machiner]

I've been wondering-- what does that even mean? Ubuntu, sloppy?


I like to play with repositories. Last week I tried breaking my Ubuntu -- mixing Debain and Ubuntu repositories. Upreading some, changing to different un-supported repo's....

Today, I'm using straight-up Ubuntu. The only appys installed that aren't from Ubuntu's repos are msttcorefonts (or whatever it is) gtk-gnutella and maybe one or two others...but I had to install apache2 for this. No worries.

I have 4 or 5 backups in varying states of sloppy that I like to restore and try to mess up. Sometimes I am able to after I do a dpkg--reconfigure -a.

I call it sloppy - well - because it is.

When I did this with Mepis it just fell apart. FC2 and 3 fell to pieces, suse sucked period, etc. etc.

Ubuntu holds up. Sloppy or no.

I wouldn't advise many to play with their setup like I do. It's fun because of some errors to fix, work around - but inexperienced folks and those needing absolute bullet-proof should probably avoid this methodology. lathough, I consider my box to be pretty damned stable no matter the sloppiness - it's all workable, man.
