Afternoon all!

Just been testing the SparkyLinux ARM image on one of my Raspberry Pi 400s and it is rather good.

Came up very quickly, a little spartan in layout but nothing that an apt-get can't fix!

176 processes and 210 Mb of RAM, with a windowing system is very nice.

Am customizing it now and will aim to do a fuller review once my new blog arrives (later this year)

Thank to Pawel and the team for doing this :)

Forty years of GNU and the free software movement

On September 27, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) celebrates the 40th anniversary of the GNU operating system and the launch of the free software movement. Free software advocates, tinkerers, and hackers all over the world will celebrate this event, which was a turning point in the history of computing. Forty years later, GNU and free software are even more relevant. While software has become deeply ingrained into everyday life, the vast majority of users do not have full control over it.

On the other hand and taking advantage of the publication of this news. I would like to remember that last August 16th, was the 30th anniversary of debian.

Over 30 years ago the late Ian Murdock wrote to the comp.os.linux.development newsgroup about the completion of a brand-new Linux release which he named "The Debian Linux Release".

He built the release by hand, from scratch, so to speak. Ian laid out guidelines for how this new release would work, what approach the release would take regarding its size, manner of upgrades, installation procedures; and with great care of consideration for users without Internet connection.

Unaware that he had sparked a movement in the fledgling F/OSS community, Ian worked on and continued to work on Debian. The release, now aided by volunteers from the newsgroup and around the world, grew and continues to grow as one of the largest and oldest FREE operating systems that still exist today.

Try running <sudo dpkg --configure -a>. It sounds like you have a broken package.
