"Gruezi" to you all, from Prince Edward Island in Atlantic Canada,
I am a retired (long time now it seems) systems manager, living here in the Canadian Maritimes. I emigrated from Europe to Canada 37 years ago...Over the last 5 or 6 years, I've distro hopped, ending up on Debian for the last 18 months. It has been over 15 years since I ran a large UNIX manufacturing system, and the need to get back to basics, and get my hands dirty, has been in my mind for some time now. I took the plunge recently, and have just finished completely rebuilding my stereo, using discrete components.
Having spent so many years in the computer industry (1967 to 2008) I do still remember what a "shift register" did !!!, but like so many, Windows made me a little lazy and complacent, and concern about what was going on in the system was superceded by all the "eye candy" on the screen....
I've just installed a base only Devuan system (the no-systemd "saga") but it is still Debian..
I have a lot of free time (German Shepherds 'and wife' permitting) and I am looking forward to re-learning how to do things without grabbing the mouse....
I admire the hard work that you have put into NuTyX, where you have proved (in practise) that a functional and productive Linux can still be build from the ground up, piece by piece....
I will be installing NuTyX over the weekend, and I want to initially try the bash script, which is already downloaded, once I have re-partitioned. Fortunately, only the Devuan base-system was installed...
Please be prepared for "a few" questions.....
I am really looking forward to the next few months
Regards
Richard
