  1. Debian is the shiznit! I love the Debian installer. I have never had the Debian installer not work, perfect install every time. The advanced options give complete control of the entire install process, and the regular install is quick and simple for those who do not want to answer tons of questions.

  2. Great video on recovery options. Thanks. I have always installed testdisk, just in case, but I never had a need to use it. backups are definitely easier. :-)

  4. Great video! Thank you for the tips on the boot issues and fixes. All the Gnome stuff was very good as well.

  5. Last year I made the switch from Ubuntu derived systems to Debian proper and I could not be more satisfied. I am very happy in Debian land. However, if I were to stray, I would go to Fedora.

  6. I used to rely on remastersys on Ubuntu from 7.10 through 14.04 for system backups by creating a live system from my installed installation. Systemback came to the rescue for Ubuntu 16.04 for the same purpose. Now I just reinstall Debian and keep a running list of the software to reinstall. I have yet to actually NEEDED any system backup yet, as I have not had a hard drive failure, but they were always a great peace of mind. Data should always be backed up separately. Great to hear you stress that. Good video.

  9. The last time I looked at Elementary OS I had many of the same problems and grievances you mention. I will stick with my original verdict: Elementary is about as appealing as a used kitty litter. :-)

  10.  @OpenGL4ever  I have never done and LVM with encryption install in any operating system, so I cannot speak to that. Good to know.

  11. I am still doing the FreeBSD, just taking some time between them. I need to digest before I just go turn the camera on. :)

  12. I will play with it in a vbox but if I switch, I wait until the .1 release in July. After playing with the mini.iso, that is the way I will go in the future. a 50MB iso and total control over the install. Thanks for the video.

  13. I agree, for a long time Fedora went too far out onto the bleeding edge and each release seemed to need at least a month of fixes before it was stable. 27 and 28 may represent a return to stability. Serge says its been stable for him from at least 24 onward.

  14. Great video. Thanks. I usually install one distro per drive, but Solus sounds like a pain.
