Thank you blunix and GatorsFan (and everyone else) for the tips. I am going to try and figure this out for the long term and learn more about SIP and throw away numbers that blinux suggested. I guess I could get a cellular 'land-line'. They do make such things, but it would irritate me that I'd...

I do not have a phone, landline or cell. But I find myself in need of placing a call. There are lots of VOIP options out there and a lot of info on SIP, but it is a bit confusing to me. Can anyone point me to software for Linux Mint that will allow me to download and sign-up for a phone number...

@wendy-lebaron thanks for the tip. EasyOS sounds cool but strange that they are anti command line and push GUI for everything. i prefer to do as much as possible in terminal. I checked out puppy. meh. i couldn't get past the cat. very bad sign. Makes me not want to find out what else they've...

also... my default puppy desktop has a picture of a cat on it. ... seems like they missed an obvious choice for a mascot

@MikeWalsh, from the puppy discussion forum readme: Puppy Linux is not just one distribution. Instead its developers use a "recipe" to create highly compact, fast and flexible Linux systems from larger mainline distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Void, etc. I downloaded the...

@MikeWalsh sold. trying it out today. I'm not confident enough to try and compile any of this stuff myself yet. So it would be great to at least have some input towards those that are. My biggest beef with current LAMPP incarnations is that php-readline is never included.

If it hadn't been on every news outlet for 2 years straight no one would have even noticed. I only remember it when i see hopeless mental cases still wearing a mask or now, stumbling into this thread.

as one of many who got totally fed up with windows, what i did was just get a second computer, get latest Mint iso on a usb. you can use microsoft to do that. plug it in and just install it straight up, deleting everything that was on that computer. no virtual machines, no multiple OS. simple...

cool. so am i. 20 years

are you a locksmith?

smh. so sorry to hear this. thanks for the info. i've never understood the vitriol against noobs. was hoping a small OS like that, with such limited documentation would be more welcoming. sounds like it was disabled on purpose. if they wont fix it then i guess i'll have to give up on TC because...

well, this is an old thread. But since i had similar problem just recently maybe it will help someone else. the first place to start is to use bootcode base. so before you hit enter on which desktop manager to boot with, hit TAB. then just add base to the end of that line and hit enter. it will...

great news! thank you :) are there any dedicated OS sections on this forum? pretty much all of my interest is focused in tiny core these days.

Lord Boltar, thanks for the reply. i definitely have come across that article in trying to get this to work. the problem is that he talks about moving a data file that (i think) is only created once mysql is started. so its a catch22. hoping to find someone that actually has Mariadb / mysql...

LOL i know, i know. i've stopped and asked myself why tf am i doing this? i've accepted the hard truth that i'm just a masochist. but linux is cool because you can actually make meaningful contributions. I also do it as a hobby and like the idea of creating something that may be appreciated by...
