Model: Nighthawk X6S R7900P. Got it from USA. I have got the invoice (pdf) from Costco. This is a sealed box. So, will prefer local buyers from Kochi/Muvattupuzha and nearby locations.

So eBay exited India. What are the alternatives to eBay here now? Not Flipkart/Amazon/ShopClues etc etc.

RSS-BJP will be elected to power in 2019. The sad truth. Don't know what kind of atrocities we will have to face in this country. 2002 Icons will still rule the country till radicalism subdues after few decades.

Devuan ASCII is going good so far. Devaun is using sysVinit or OpenRC as init and not systemd. Pretty stable. It depends on elogind and eudev and such parts instead of consolekit/consolekit2. I'm also using FreeBSD 12-Beta2 with Gnome-3.28 on a ZFS root. Needless to say, no way can systemd...

Installed by Systemd. Need I say anything more :|

systemd is enforced by RedHat on persuasion of "unknown forces" (can be NSA etc). http://without-systemd.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page OpenRC or even SysVinit makes a lot more sense. I have been using Linux for over 16 years now, starting with the RH 7.1 . One thing I always liked is, it is easy...

Ubuntu 18.04 is unreliable with booting, at least in 2 of my systems. Seems like a systemd problem. gdm3 started, but no display. OR some messages like "waiting for xyz service" followed by a counter. This can randomly happen. 2-3 times, I've reinstalled forcibly gdm3 , gnome-shell etc and may...

I'm still planning to test Devuan Beowulf on my system. Laptop will be upgraded to 18.04.1 release.
