Yggdrasil was the first company to create a live CD Linux distribution.[1] Yggdrasil Linux described itself as a “Plug-and-Play” Linux distribution, automatically configuring itself for the hardware.
This alpha release contained the 0.98.1 version of the Linux kernel, the v11r5 version of the X Window System supporting up to 1024x768 with 256 colours, various GNU utilities such as their C/C++ compiler, the GNU Debugger, bison, flex, and make, TeX, groff, Ghostscript, the elvis and Emacs editors, and various other software.
wikipedia puts it at 92, which is older than slackware, so certified fucking old. seems like they couldn’t get their shit properly together any time before debian released a stable release in 96 though so it’s ded
@MercurialBlack @usernameswift @Centaur now?
A community effort in continuing the development of Yggdrasil has been started in early 2022, having an alpha release planned to be on late March or early April 2022.[12]
@usernameswift @Centaur @MercurialBlack seems like it’s just one indonesian person deciding they should revive the oldest distro in existance but not using the code or anything at all since it’s too old so it’s basically just appropriating the name
shitty thing to do. you don’t need a name to make it big in the linux underground. look to venom linux: the name sucks, the only way to get support for this thing is a middle eastern telegram channel and people still use it https://github.com/venomlinux/ports/commits/repos
@Jojothegoodperson @meso @usernameswift @Centaur @menherahair @MercurialBlack The only one I know of is Disroot.
@xianc78 @Jojothegoodperson @meso @usernameswift @Centaur @MercurialBlack disroot’s xmpp is dogshit don’t use that
@menherahair @meso @usernameswift @Centaur @Jojothegoodperson @MercurialBlack The backgrounds on their website give me antifa vibes. The guy who runs it says that anyone can use it, regardless of ideology.
@xianc78 @meso @usernameswift @Centaur @Jojothegoodperson @MercurialBlack antifa’s an orchiestrated terrible look for leftists, I know for a fact there’s pretty extreme guys who aren’t THIS retarded about it. but yeah disroot is leftoid tech, although I believe (belief guys) they have enough integrity to keep to their rules. which really aren’t that prohibitive, just don’t post nwords anywhere near your handle featuring disroot.org.
but really the xmpp is shit. I think the omemo doesn’t work and they blacklist some servers for no reason
@menherahair @meso @usernameswift @Centaur @Jojothegoodperson @MercurialBlack OMEMO works fine for me. There are like two people I have in contact with XMPP on there. I only use it because cock.li's XMPP doesn't even support OMEMO at all.
@xianc78 @meso @usernameswift @Centaur @Jojothegoodperson @MercurialBlack messaging yourdata.forsale from disroot doesn’t work at all. and I don’t remember what the issue with jix.im was - omemo I think! - but that’s the two of my go-to servers so unfortunately it doesn’t work for me. maybe I should bother them about it…
