Linux microblog update:

Dear Arch Linux,

Your guidance is amazing, until we reach the bit about choosing partitions.

Tonight I needed one single "good enough" recipe to start from - but I found a repeat of the ancient text "deep thoughts on partition tables".

Debian is looking nice, this time of year, though.

I wish more #Linux #Tutorials would make use of #cfdisk instead of #fdisk - It's *far* more user friendly, especially for newer users.

@landley The reason I literally choose the latest released #Linux #Kernel is because this means I'll also be able to profit from latest features or at least fixes done to it.
Some old #longterm kernels don't even support #xz compression...

In terms of drivers beyond #floppinux I only want basics like #TCP / #IPv4, support for some old #3Com, #AMD, #Intel and #VIA NICs as well as /dev/ devices so I can use #cfdisk or at least #dd to shove something on a disk.
I guess I've to start @ allnoconfig.
