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
@Jojothegoodperson @meso @usernameswift @Centaur @xianc78 @MercurialBlack eh, disroot’s generally fine. they have a tos and a clear ideological leaning but they’re not hunting down nazis or anything. at last they haven’t hunted me down yet for daring use eientei. the email at least works well enough I sent them 20 bux to keep going.
@Jojothegoodperson @meso @usernameswift @Centaur @xianc78 @MercurialBlack I have the privilege of not needing pc access at all to live now. I use disroot and fedora.email for my boxes, both free and usable through tor. fedora is closed now I think, but you being a respected fedizen can probably bother sjw about it and he’ll let you in.
I think that service is the only email service that’s decentralized
uh… how so? It’s a server on a rack. pretty centralized
@menherahair @meso @usernameswift @Centaur @Jojothegoodperson @MercurialBlack SJW closed registration on fedora.email after Linder made a fedpost using a sockpuppet on DRC. He does plan to reopen registrations. My only beef with fedora.email is that registration requires reCaptcha which SJW can't find a decent alternative for. Otherwise, I think it would probably be a better alternative to cock.li because their domains are a lot less vulgar (especially the default domain).
@Jojothegoodperson @meso @usernameswift @Centaur @xianc78 @MercurialBlack recaptcha is googleware
@Jojothegoodperson @meso @usernameswift @Centaur @menherahair @MercurialBlack If you request an account from SJW, you can probably get an account without using reCaptcha.
