Hello,

The version available as package for Devuan is old for FreePascal / Lazarus.

FreePascal / Lazarus have an active community and they do a lot of tests before publishing any new release so would be a good idea to make available latest version of such compiler / IDE in 32 & 64 as is recommended by its development community.

Latest Lazarus release is 2.0.4  and FreePascal 3.0.4.

Download site in sourceforge as .deb packages.

Hello, i have installed Devuan in a pendrive 3.0 but it works extremely slow. Thereis some way to have it running more fast?.
A have tested it in several machines with identical result. Same installation but with external usb 3.1 case and ssd disk go ok, so its not a problem with the usb port that support 3.0.

Some advice please?

Thanks in advance.

zephyr:

I have downloaded Crowz and Star, two interesting options.

I use to download distros as Refracta (looks great) and try it for funcionality.

The problem with using CD/DVD is that programs remain in older versions. By example i used Refracta  to resize a partition with gparted and get a problem..... then download the latest gparted CD and it works.

Best than .iso files would be a restorable image to pendrive o flash device.

OK, thanks for de advices, when i have time will try the STAR and Crowz.

Actually i am using Devuan base installation without desktop. Once installed i download the latest original version of  JWM from http://www.joewing.net/projects/jwm/ and all the required packages associated with it (also X system ofcourse).

I migrated from debian to Devuan more than a year and i have been playing to see how it respond.

I have tried to learn more but i dont have enough skills in C programming....

All my test are here:

The best is that one you have JWM working download and compile the next version is fast and easy.

Actually i dont install Rox, instead i install idesk and works fine for me.

Muchas gracias smile

greenjeans: not only for old computers also for modern computers, by example in virtualization mode with KVM it works great. More resources for virtualizated systems.

Sorry for my english, is not my native language.

Hello, this is my first post, and the question is if there is intention to create a spin with JWM, its light and works ok.
I have not enough knowlegment in programming or OS to create this. There is some guru here that can create this? or include
as another Desktop option in the installation?

Best Regards.
