Fixes since v1.6.2.4
——————–

* “git apply” mishandled if you fed a git generated patch that renames
file A to B and file B to A at the same time.

* “git diff -c -p” (and “diff –cc”) did not expect to see submodule
differences and instead refused to work.

* “git grep -e ‘(‘” segfaulted, instead of diagnosing a mismatched
parentheses error.

* “git fetch” generated packs with offset-delta encoding when both ends of
the connection are capable of producing one; this cannot be read by
ancient git and the user should be able to disable this by setting
repack.usedeltabaseoffset configuration to false.

git • 1.6.2.5

Tiny Core Linux is a very small (10 MB) minimal Linux Desktop. It is based on Linux 2.6 kernel, Busybox, Tiny X, Fltk, and Jwm. The core runs entirely in ram and boots very quickly.

It is not a complete desktop nor is all hardware completely supported. It represents only the core needed to boot into a very minimal X desktop typically with wired internet access.

The user has complete control over which applications and/or additional hardware to have supported, be it for a desktop, a netbook, an appliance, or server, selectable by the user by installing additional applications from online repositories, or easily compiling most anything you desire using tools provided.

linux Mascot

I use Linux both at work and at home because I am more productive and so I get a lot more work done in less time. I do not find myself fighting the operating system to do what I need to do or running constant spyware, adware, melware, and virus scans. I do enjoy using it as well and I feel much safer while using it. With Windows I feel I have to be behind more than one firewall; but with Linux I do not feel that way. I also find Linux runs faster than windows, although some distros do run slower than others.

I want to talk about how I got into Linux now that I have told you why I use it. It started back when I was taking online classes for electronic repair, as that was what I wanted to do for a living and at the time was interning for a local TV repair shop. One day I was ordering books for my clases and was looking at a few computer repair books. That I thought might help me with my Windows ME computer that I had which was having all kinds of problems like blue screens and needed formated every 3 months. One computer book that I found was about Linux and it came with a red hat Linux CD.  So I purchased it and started reading the book and even tried to install red hat, which no matter how hard I tried I was unable to get it to install. Later on I purchased Mandrake Linux 8.2 on amazon.com and I was able to install that with no issues. Mandrake seemed more like a toy to play with now and again and did not seem like an operating system, and I was not using it full time yet and pretty much just playing with it when I had free time. It did come with some cool games like 3d Tron and Rocks and Diamonds, which I still enjoy today when I have time to play them.

After getting a new computer with Windows XP, I almost stopped using Linux all together, although I was still dual booting between XP and Mandrake now called Mandriva. One day I ran across a Linux distro called Xandros and I gave it a try and I enjoyed it. It’s very easy to run and came with everything I needed for the work I was doing. I was even allowed to install it on the computer I use at work. I used Xandros until about 2 years ago when I could no longer find the free version on their site. So I went looking for a new one. I tried Ubuntu since a lot of people were talking about how great that one is. When I tried Ubuntu, I had a lot of issues with it and it took over 2 hours to get it set up to do what I wanted it to do. This was way different then the 5 minutes or so with Xandros. I then tried a distro called Mepis and that was a distro I liked and it did everything I wanted with very little set up. I used that for a year and then I tried a few others just because I wanted to see what else was out there. I left the computer at work using Mepis but installed a few on my home computer. One that was pretty easy to use was Ultima, which was discontinued several months ago. Puppy Linux was another easy one I used and fast too, I keep this one around as a tool to get files off of hard drives with damaged windows files. Absolute Linux is another easy one I use and still have installed on one of my computers at home. Opensuse Linux is one I am using right now at home on my main computer and the one I am using to type this up.  A few months back I switched my work computer from Mepis to Gentoo which I do like and a co-worker who also uses Linux uses.

At the moment I do not run Windows unless I have to. I only have one computer using Windows right now and it’s a new one that came with Windows Vista. Windows Vista reminds me of Windows ME, except less Blue screens and less need for reinstall it every 3 months.
