- HOWTO: Set up etckeeper on Void Linux
etckeeper keeps track of all the changes you make to your /etc directory over time. It keeps a .git repo inside of /etc, and will do a git commit: * before and after installing or removing a void package * once a day (with cron) Since Void Linux will serve the package in its original form and won't configure it for you, here's the steps you need to follow to make it do the above:- My Void Linux review
I've been using Void Linux for the last two years. Here's the good and bad things I found about it: Good: * Rolling-release distro: recent software packages, unlike Ubuntu, without needing to re-install the entire OS * Stable rolling-release distro: Like Tumbleweed, the packages have been tested before being released * Good, concise documentation * Very minimal base system * Unopinionated: wide choice of cron daemons, DEs, NTP daemons, etc * Easy to contribute to, with guiding documents * Good support on IRC * Works perfectly with Steam * Being a community distro ensures it won't get discontinued anytime soon * Fast system updates Bad: * KDE broke twice because not all KDE/Plasma packages had been updated in the repo at the time of my update. Situation fixed itself by updating again the following day. * Not for absolute beginners in Linux
