Thank You for visiting this page.
As of 2024_03 this page is still under construction and
probably won't be updated anytime soon, because
I try to redesign my whole web site and I also
have other priorities, which, unfortunately, tend to be
related to getting any computers to run at all.
As of 2023_12 I have came to a conclusion that
I do not want to reinstall operating systems over and over again,
which is why I'm experimenting with a solution, where
I have one desktop computer with operating system booting
from HDD and a set of SSHFS+VNC/RDP connected old laptops and other desktop
computers that may use internal HDDs, but boot from
an MDisc based live-DVD.
That idea also fits well
with a usage pattern for using Raspberry_Pi like computers.
The usage pattern is that Raspberry_Pi boot-SDCARD content is public,
shared with everybody, but all data is on USB-storage, preferably on
magnetic USB storage (classical HDDs) in an USB-HDD-box
that has its own power supply. As Flash memory, including
that of the various memory cards, holds data, inlcuding
filesystem formatting data, reliably only about one year,
the Raspberry_Pi memory card needs to be over-written (by using Linux program "dd")
with a proper, uncorrupted, image about once per year.
So it makes perfect sense to keep all user specific data
off from the Raspgerry_Pi memory card anyway.
As of 2023_12 the operating systems that I use are
(antibot passwords need to be manually inserted, not copy-pasted):
