is debootstrap considered reinstalling? because i’vedebootstrapped at least 2 systems to fix botched upgrades.

knoppix, then slax, then slackware, then… Ubuntu 4.10

sudo bash

can you explain that or link to the relevant documentation?

compiz and emerald are still in the debian repos.

on a desktop or laptop I use Emacs org-mode. on my phone I have tried so many options and the best thing that I found for me is Delta chat. I just use the saved notes which is basically an email to myself.
