9front has brilliant propaganda.
If I could get texlive, a graphical browser and an rdp client running under it I could live there after I retire. Until then it remains something of a toy system for me (others may disagree). I'd be delighted to hear from those using it for actually creating stuff.

- keithpeter 10y agoMain issue would be TizK for diagrams. I might try building it under a fresh slackware (I noticed a slackbuild script) and see what I get.
