testing different operating systems next week, any ideas/requests?
« on: September 03, 2020, 02:46:16 pm »

Before putting my Talos II into proper use, I might spend a week or so testing different operating systems on it.

Can anybody make any suggestions about things that might be worthwhile to explore?

I'd be curious to know if my Slackware port works on theTalos II.
All I have to test with is my Blackbird, so I'm not sure how it'd run on other systems.

There's an iso that should work on the mirror.
It still needs mkgrub ran manually after install to add boot entries.

Has Kernel 5.7.6 in the extras folder on iso.

I have decided to try the following distributions:

ALT Linux
Arch Linux
Devuan
KISS Linux
PowerEL

Then I tried almost all of them.
