Thanks a lot for your help.
The combination of GPL and .deb sounds wonderful. It's might be worth the effort for most variants out there! I really like what Un does. For the time being, easy_more is a good idea. |

Good luck with it - feel free to PM me if you get stuck (or drop in to #angband-dev on freenode if you want to talk to someone in real time).

![]() Even if it's just a game? In that case I better try out live CDs and VMs, like Mikko suggested. |

I take backup images of my system with Clonezilla live CD and a portable hard drive. It's easy, and it allows me to be much less paranoid about installing new programs.
I always take backup images of the whole drive. But Clonezilla gives me an option to restore only the root partition if I want. That gets rids off all the problematic programs while keeping my home partition safe. If you like, you could buy two identical hard disks, and use one of them for testing purposes. |

An article telling about precompiled programs from outside the official repositories that initially work alright but, because of broken dependencies and things like that, wreak havoc when you upgrade your Linux distribution.
Again, thanks everyone ![]() Last edited by caruso; April 25, 2012 at 22:08. |

Compiling yourself isn't inherently safer unless you're savvy enough to actually prowl through tons of code. I certainly aren't.
As far as I figure, debian packages are how computers were meant to work ![]() It does serve you well to be at least a bit cautious about what PPA's you add to a system. Of course, in linux world, the large range of options will help make an exploit harder to succeed. What works on a debian system may not affect something based on RPMs and a Gnome weakness would be pointless in KDE, f.x. |
