Re: Microsoft pushing subscription model

Microsoft became irrelevant way back in 1999, as far as I'm concerned, but it is time that governments & businesses realised the facts.

Re: Vote

I tend to just use, & promote, my favourite distros - word of mouth - is so much more worthwhile.

I don't care if they think *buntu is the greatest distro - it does nothing for me - & that is what matters.

Re: antiX-17 released

Not sure if it's anything to worry about, but I was trying to download today - 64full downloaded quickly enough, but 64base seems to be extremely slow, on several mirrors. (Just for info, mainly.)

Re: antiX16 kernel boot options, want no framebuffer for my nv29 card

AntiX 16 has had all the known bugs sorted out, so either you got a dodgy download, or your disk might be going bad.

Re: still can not access antiX forums

Only just signed in here to discuss our forum, it has been taken over - freeforums.org has evidently sold out to TapaTalk, & they are messing it up.

Options are being discussed right now, so I suggest wait & see what happens, before trying again. :)
