Hello everyone!
I've been lurking for a few weeks now and I'm very impressed with the distro and the forum. I kind of dropped a bit from the linux scene and have been using some of the popular distros, but got bored pretty quickly and was looking for a challenge. I'm using the Vsido version with Kernel 3.10-1-amd64 set to XFCE and like it very much. I hope to learn a lot and hope that I won't be a PIA.
Thanks!
Dave
Welcome Dave, glad to have you aboard. I do no think you would ever be a PIA. Ask anything you need, we here for you.
Thanks VastOne. I appreciate the friendliness here. You and the nice folks at crunchbang have helped me quite a bit in my linux journey.
I do have one question... I tried to download the latest .iso and I'm not getting the version with Kernel 3.10-5. Am I doing something wrong? I do realize I can upgrade the Kernel with smxi, but I'm wondering if I'm missing out on something with the new .iso, like art work, which is fantastic IMHO, in my 3.10-1 version.
In terminal run:
uname-a
and report back what it says... It should be something like
Linux vsido 3.10-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.10.5-1 (2013-08-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Edit - The default debian kernel should update automatically without the need for smxi doing a apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade
The only time there would need a new install is if there is a change from 3..9 to 3.10 or 3.x to 4.x ... In those events, that is the when I build new ISO's
Thanks VastOne. Here it is:
Linux vsido 3.10-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.10.3-1 (2013-07-27) x86_64 GNU/Linux
I'm not sure that I grabbed the right one, but no worries. I'm gonna ride this wave as long as I can! 8)
I do believe you have the correct one... it is the only one other than the 32 bit version
Have you done an apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade lately?
If you want to get to the latest, all you have to do is run
get linux-headers-3.10-2-amd64
get linux-image-3.10-2-amd64
in that order and you will have the current debian kernel
Perfect. Thanks!
Linux vsido 3.10-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.10.5-1 (2013-08-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux

^ Nice...
I was wrong... the updates are handled at the 3.10-1 level with a dist-upgrade but to go to 3.10-2 it needs to be handled how you just did it
Thanks for pursuing this
I am off to update the ISO's
Cuttlefish, welcome to VSIDO! You don't have to worry about the PIA position as it is already filled by dizzie! You've joined a great community, and everyone here will do all we can to help you. Again, welcome aboard....
Thanks to this thread and Cuttlefish's input, I have updated the ISO's to the Debian 3.10.5-1 kernel
They are uploading now and I will post a thread when done
BTW, nice avatar Cuttlefish!
Thanks folks!

BTW, nice avatar Cuttlefish!
Back in 2008 I started with linux and I was totally blown away with the concept of a live CD. I wanted to join the antiX forum and asked my daughters what I should take as a user name. Back then we used to go to a lot of aquariums and they were fascinated by cuttlefish (me too)...hence my avatar.
My daughters are 18 and 21 now. ...Time flies.
