The exchange with 'drunk' is of interest. My time on Ubuntu has been dominated by surfing the repo with Synaptic, and I've seen so many under-the-radar little programs. Installed 1,000 (but had a hard time finding or managing).
Genealogy (GEDCOM): we are getting DNA tests, and I need a more competent browser for the secure User pages. There are special-purpose GEDCOM-database editors and HTML Tree makers, etc. LifeLines! Dad started with 3-ring binders, graduated to TRS-80, MS-DOS and Windows. And we continue.
Many other amateur radio codes; NEC, minNEC propagation, grayline ... and great utilities that are not marked as Ham/Amateur! Smith Charts!
GIS/GPS, DEM, cartography. A true love. And a true story, I self-rescued from the off-trail Olympics with my old Magellan 310. After RTDM and figuring out how to change the Datum to match my topo.
Can I really make Extensions for Tiny Core? I compile from source, on Ubuntu, though I'm no way a compiler-user. But I surfed into nitram's 2015 extension-creation post
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=18682.0 and it looks kinda gnarly. But that is old, strongly-condensed, and not labeled Official.
I had not looked at the Wiki yet. dCore! Direct access to Debian and Ubuntu repos! Wow!
But again, is this really for me? dCore is not visible from the sidewalk, and there may well be good reason.
Plus ... are dCore SCEs the same thing as TCEs? Or are these like the easier 'personal' Extensions in TC ... and not useful to the Project?
I'm a good technician (and code-tinker), but I'm not a real Engineer (or programmer). BaCon? I can do BaCon alright ... and some ASM, on CPM.
Thanks!
