So, for the longest time I was using Mageia 3-6 as a distro, after a decade of using various distroes, I could just sit back and enjoy with little effort. It's a good distro, and one of the best SystemD distroes there are. It keeps the classic Gnuish/Linuxish type of behaviours, unlike many other SystemD distroes. This might be despite or regardless of SystemD actually, but it nonetheless had a feeling of a power distro for power users, where you are free to do things your way, and unhindered by...
I thought it would be interesting to note down all the ones I've used and tried, just do anyone with any questions don't think I don't know what I am talking about in regards to different distroes, and as a reference point:
USED:
Slackware
Damn Small Linux
Debian
PCLinuxOS
Mandriva
Mint
Maemo
Mageia
Manjaro
USED for specific purposes:
Knoppix
Meego
SystemRescueCD
Since there is no place on this forum for GNU/Linux specific hardware. Throughout the years there have been multiple projects etc, some still lives, some failed. Bu I think it's time to start noting down serious vendors and actors as they appear. For my reference and perhaps others.
Anyways, I came over this thread today about a GNU/Linux laptop vendor which also have a mobile in the pipeline. Yes, an actual GNU/Linux mobile. Not busybox/linux, not some other thing, but actual GNU/Linux....

Ok, so the previous entry became long and complex. So here is a KISS version of the post:
How to configure and compile a Kernel the easy, generic way. Core procedure.
1. Download Kernel --> /usr/src
2.
Code:
1# cd /usr/src
2# tar -xvf linux(x).tar.xz
3# cd linux(x)
4# make clean && make mrproper
(#(cp ../config ./.config)
6# make menuconfig
(save)
7# make -j3
8# make modules &&
Alright. So, I have seen so many different ways of "installing" a "new" Kernel. There are probably 100 different ways to do this, and they all seem so complicated or so distro specific, and I dislike it, to be honest.
I like it the "old way" or the raw method as I like to call it, or it could actually be the "wrong way" or the "stupid way", I am not sure, but yet I am pretty sure that it is more likely "the old way" or the...
