Should work just fine with defaults. dos or gpt. With cfdisk you have to make sure you write the changes before exit, which may have been your issue. There is a save option but it doesn't do what you think it does. Write then quit is the desired workflow to create the partitions.

Sure thereâ(TM)s indie content on Steam, but I donâ(TM)t have a machine with specs to play most of it. Switch is also good as well, and Iâ(TM)ve got plenty there⦠but this is different, gimmicky stuff you wonâ(TM)t find on those services. If anything it will be interesting games. Different from the usual stuff.

I run Slackware on my web server and itâ(TM)s always been my favorite distro. Wasnâ(TM)t my first, that title goes to Mandrake, but it was the last one I ever needed. Iâ(TM)m dreading this update as I know itâ(TM)ll be a right pain to update my server at this point, but Iâ(TM)ll get there, probably by the time the first update release comes out! Thanks to Pat for keeping the dream alive all this time.

Yes, chocolate doom can be installed in brew, but as I said it seg faults. the setup tool works, actually playing the game fails. No matter as using brew for such novel things is more work than usefulness. The official build runs just fine, but whomever made the bottle for chocolate doom failed.

Ebooks definitely go with a kindle or equivalent. I find my iPad distracts me from actually doing any reading at all. But it is quite handy with PDFs, even the kindle app or iBooks handle them well. But if you want to read ebooks and not be distracted by other things I'd suggest a dedicated ebook reader. It's not useful for much else, so you'll actually get reading done on it.
