TL;DR - You can't use X-Face because compface isn't available, and you can't use "Face" because of file size constraints.

In Linux, in particular in Debian 9.9.0-i386-xfce-CD-1, file operations will grow inevitably slower until the speed is unusable.

The "default browser" setting for Pale Moon does not work. This is how to do it manually.
Problem: On Devuan-1.0.0-jessie-i386-DVD, avconv
crashes while building a video from an image and audio. It worked until a recent update.
According to old notes, 6:11.9-1~deb8u1
worked. However, I do not know if a more recent version worked before I noticed this problem.
There are a lot of people who have been key, at least in hindsight, to my development.
I haven't really thought about populating this topic, but at a glance..

I checked SANE's supported devices list, and saw that the LiDE 120 is supported, however the model I received uses a different and Linux-unsupported chipset! (GL848+)

An awkward dungeon management game, with walls you can't dig out, rooms you build but don't know how much of or what size, and an interface that could only be inspired by a 1980s DOS game.
Absolutely not recommended.
Inspired by Dungeon Keeper - (1997 game)
TODO - tested and working, though my most recent Lubuntu experimentation has problems I'm still troubleshooting.
At best, my computer hangs when prompting for a password. I think this is related to the 4.4.14 kernel but have not confirmed this.

These instructions are a lot easier than they seem, and a smart and patient beginner will be able to follow them!
These notes were made on an everyday system with one hard drive which I completely formatted for this purpose.
This concept and these notes build a full-disk Slackware installation which also uses LVM. You can safely ignore the entire LVM post and just follow this one.
Problem: A USB stick cannot boot with any of Porteus, the boot-repair LiveUSB, or SystemRescueCD. It used to be bootable with Porteus, and before that it could boot with other Linux LiveUSB distributions.

A tool for booting multiple distributions from a USB stick. Duh.
Very easy to use. Works under Windows. Does not work under Linux.
