I like the idea about desktop, i thinking about a new distro where whole goal is desktop environment. I was heavy SUSE Linux user , but after 3 years of active using i was not happy about constant lowering in desktop quality (KDE). So here i am , back to SOURCE and happy about it!

Hello fellow LFS users. Fist off, I am new to these lists, but I made my first LFS system several years ago. I have no idea which version it was. I didn't go very far beyond LFS at that time, and ended up going back to using Windows (god forbid) because it just worked out of the box (barely) without really having to mess with it too much. I then moved on to using Ubuntu for security reasons, having a huge lack of trust for Microsoft and really anybody in this post 9/11 era. I now assume that all Windows operating systems are just a huge government backdoor. So I tried my hardest to install a minimal Ubuntu system, but of course inevitably, you get all kinds of packages installed that you don't need. So these past few months I've migrated back to LFS and BLFS, and I'm here to stay. I love how I can compile every package myself with verified sources. I love how I have control over every last package that is installed on my system. And I also love how much I've learned over these last few months, having built about five LFS systems, 6.6, 6.7rc1, and now 6.7. As you may have guessed by now, I am big on keeping my information private. I do not like how computers open up new doors for governments to spy on their citizens. Therefore, I try to keep my data as private as possible. That is what my possible hint would be about, and I'm writing this to find out if there are others who might be interested in my hint. I don't want to go to the trouble of writing it if nobody is going to use it. I'm also wondering about the health of the LFS community, seeing that the LiveCd project isn't happening anymore, and HLFS seems to be slowed to a crawl, and the new BLFS book has been delayed. Is this due to a lack of interest, a lack of help, or(Continue reading)

Thanks for the reply, Andy. I know, I know... nothing is completely safe. And then you figure, if they can't get to your OS, then they'll get to you through your hardware. The best bet would be to do away with using computers altogether. As for the differences between my potential hint and Lars'... To be honest, there isn't much of a difference, but I can think of a couple. First, in my hint, you don't need to have a dedicated hard drive on the machine at all. You can just boot off the USB drive and then use the machine without any disks. How is this helpful? Well, you could potentially use my system anywhere you go (with the proper modules compiled)... boot it off of a library computer, do your thing, and leave. The other difference is that since the OS is in RAM, if someone were to hack into your computer through the network while you're online and install a keylogger or trojan, it would be gone the next time you boot up. Changes are not persistent. I don't know how common software keyloggers or trojans are in Linux, but there you go... It's actually not all that hard to set up an initrd. I'm a total hack, and I figured out how to do all of this by slamming my head against a wall for a few months. -- -- maxwell_ <at> fastmail.fm On Tue, 11 Jan 2011 16:37 +0000, "Andrew Benton" <b3nton <at> gmail.com>(Continue reading)
I've uploaded versions of my sigma-consolefonts (-0.8) and LatGrkCyr font (20110117) to http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~ken/fonts/ This time, I've created a LatGrkCyr version in the sigma tarball, and used that to create an 8x16 psf font to ship with the 12x22. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
I don't know exactly how much longer I will have internet connectivety, so I will probably be canceling most of my mailing list subcriptions soon. My sister and I have taken care of our mother who was felled by a stroke a little over 2 years ago . We brought her home from a nursing home and her and I have cared for her until she passed last Sunday. I was working part-time at that point but gave that up as my sister developed health problems of her own and I had to be here most of the time. We had help from hospice, but it was still a 7:30 am to 10:30 pm 7 day a week job for me. In my spare time , using the internet was my little social contact and participating in the LFS community was a big part of this. While watching the death process run it's course the last week of Mama's life was one of the most heart-rending experiences I ever experienced, I wouldn't trade for it anything in this world. The last day was the most difficult, but I take comfort in knowing that I was with her till the last breath. I hope that at some point I will be able to participate again. --- Mike Hollis --- -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Mike, Good luck and I am sure all of us wish you well in the future. Regards, A.

from this point all is going to go for the better.
Sympathies,
