MX Linux Forum

The MX-15/16 versions are now available in the Test repo.

fldigi 4.0.17 & flrig 1.3.39 are now available for MX-17 in the test repo. I don't have any suitable equipment to test these with, so please leave feedback when you try them.

Thunar 1.6.15 also fixes a hanging problem I've had copying folders over from a samba share. Ordinarily I would move this to main since it fixes two bugs - but since it's an integral part of the desktop I would appreciate a little more testing first to make sure there are no reversions or other prob...

Personally, I don't have a problem taking advantage of MS hosting my github account for free. It's git after all. I've got backups and if they do something to piss me off it's trivial to put it elsewhere. Do I trust them very far? Of course not! But there's certainly no urgent need to do anything ri...

Nuh-uh! Wasn't me. Debian Buzz hit EOL over 20 years ago - before I ever even tried linux.

That capability of alien is designed to convert Slackware .tgz files to deb or rpm files. Slackware tgzs are precompiled binary packages in a standard directory format.
