Regarding my previous post some witty people may have figured that this was a joke: The last post before that one was the long delayed February one and I wrote that I simply couldn't post the next one (as I cannot stand the new WP editor). That could make said previous post the April one. … Continue reading Neunix: Eerie transitioning to Geminispace

Retreat… and reboot! Is there life outside of the Web?
Dear readers, the time has come for some fundamental re-organization of my EerieLinux blog. The impact of this year's pandemic as well as family matters (a new family member that demands quite a bit of care!) have forced me to post-pone many of my posts that I usually published at least monthly. Right when I … Continue reading Retreat… and reboot! Is there life outside of the Web?
Top things that I missed in 2015
Another year of blogging comes to an end. It has been quite full of *BSD stuff so that I'd even say: Regarding this blog it has been a BSD year. This was not actually planned but isn't a real surprise, either. I've not given up on Linux (which I use on a daily basis as … Continue reading Top things that I missed in 2015
Eerie Linux and Musl libc

Arch:E5 ditches eglibc and goes for musl libc!
Those of you who follow the development of Linux for embedded devices (or simply older hardware) will probably have noticed, that eglibc is effectively dead. According to their website "EGLIBC is no longer developed and such goals are now being addressed directly in GLIBC."! E5 and eglibc Arch:E5 was built to be a bit lighter … Continue reading Arch:E5 ditches eglibc and goes for musl libc!
Arch:E5 update and more repos (x11, gtk, fltk)
Finally I found some time to update and expand E5 a bit. The biggest news is surely the release of the e5-x11, e5-gtk and e5-fltk repositories. On the top of that packages have been updated and more than 80 new ones added (mostly to extra). This update also fixes a few issues that E5 had … Continue reading Arch:E5 update and more repos (x11, gtk, fltk)

First public Arch:e5 repository published
The first public Arch:e5 repository is available now! If you have no idea what E5 is, you may want to take a look at the post Announcing Arch:E5! first. About one month passed and I just made the skel (or "skeleton") repository available. It can be used to pacstrap a fairly minimal Arch:e5 installation. I'll … Continue reading First public Arch:e5 repository published

Announcing Arch:E5!
Merry Christmas, everybody! I've been very busy the last couple of weeks. Time to reveal what I've been silently cooking up during that period of time: Welcome to "Arch Linux Epoch 5" or - in short - Arch:E5. What is it? It's basically a handful of repositories which allow pacstrapping a clean Arch:E5 system or … Continue reading Announcing Arch:E5!
