For the last years I've been the de facto maintainer of FrugalWare.

I love this job and I think I learned a lot from doing so.
But I must say I sometimes reach my limits.

My Point is: I need help. As maintainer, Testing stuff, working on the Toolchain, providing a Buildserver or talking to people mirroring FW how to repair things.

I use FW day to day and it is quite stable an very competitive to e.g. Arch. Would be a pitty to make it just end 🥺

Found an obscure #Linux #distro #side that appears to be unique. That is, makes its own toolchain, which is what crazy from #frugalware said defines a base distro. Side uses #pisi package manager, #sysvinit and features #LXDE based #SDE with #pekwm or #openbox window manager.

These odd little distros generally help #inxi find and handle corner cases it had missed. In this case didn't have pisi pm/SDE handled.

Wish I'd noticed side before inxi 3.3.37 went out but this always happens.
