NOTHING TO SEE HERE

Like the recently released JFK documents there's nothing to see here. The fake news says they were kept secret for no reason at all and you should believe everything they say. Now back to hateful conspiracy theories about Russians. Never forget millions of Russians died in WW2 so Democrats could make fake news like this.

17.10 ALPHA 2

I'm using 17.04 on my production machines and 18.04 on my development boxes, so I really have no interest in 17.10 at this time. Probably won't be any new text/console/server images until next year when I'll build one from scratch again, instead of upgrading from these images

FLASH FRIENDLY ENCRYPTED THUMB DRIVE

Got a new YouBoob viedo of my original (version 1.1) Raspberry Pi 2B running 32-bit Murdock Edition (Debian 8 with backports) and my new Raspberry Pi 3B running PELinux64 BETA6C. Only thing to really note here is when importing an encrypted folder you need to resize the window to see the thumb drive and then right click the file area to see hidden files/folders. After that the wizard is fairly straight forward, just enter a name for the unencrypted mount point. If you don't know how to make a flash friendly partition/drive man mkfs.f2fs -- I like to format the whole thumb drive with no partitions just to make it even harder for non-Linux users to figure out what they're looking at.

Both screens are WaveShare, one 7" and the other 10.1" IPS. For what it's worth the colors on the IPS are fantastic but it's dim and hard to see outdoors. It also sucks more juice and requires its own power. I use two $10 Tzumi 2.4amp USB batteries when carrying it around, one for the Pi 3B and one for the screen.

BIONIC BEAVER BETA 6C

Congratulations on being part of this historic moment in ARM64 Linux and Raspberry Pi 3 history. Announcing the first distribution based on Ubuntu 18.04, code named Bionic Beaver. Tacitus will surely record this event in his annals.

UPDATING

This pre-release development version comes with many bleeding edge packages like Systemd 235 and LibreOffice 5.4 but some packages like PulseAudio are still at version 10 and will likely be updated before release. To be sure you get the latest version you need to periodically run apt-get dist-upgrade rather than the typical apt upgrade. Whenever the official alpha or beta versions come out is the perfect time, or that's when the dev packages are the most "stable" anyway, to use the word loosely, like TV "news". :P

HARDWARE

Don't forget default boot config is for a WaveShare 10.1 IPS touchscreen and a Pi 3B with UHS-1 microSD card. If you're using anything else you need to edit those settings before first boot. Also, YouBoob video below assumes only one hard disk in your PC, so check to make sure your SD card reader/writer isn't /dev/sdc or /dev/sdd if you have more than one internal drive.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PELINUX

Privacy Enhanced Linux is two years old today! Though there's no official birth of a corporate entity certificate, rest assured that like all good entities it's entirely legal. To celebrate we're posting the original readme text file which contains the core principals which guide us. In it you'll find our strict code of conduct, the end-user license agreement, terms of service and for all you lawyers there's even a warranty section, enjoy.

NOTE: By "we" and "us" I mean "me" and "myself". The meaning of the word "is" is also debatable.

RIP BARRY JENNINGS

He survived the controlled demolition of Building 7 on 9-11-2001 but they still got him.

KALI ARM64 DEB PACKAGES

Kali Linux has ARM64 DEB packages. I was going to write a shell script but it's safer if you execute the commands one at a time. The important thing to remember is NEVER apt-get upgrade with the Kali repo enabled or you'll break things. It's also a good idea to apt-cache show the package name to verify Ubuntu doesn't already have it. For example, if you apt-cache show macchanger you'll see the same version is in 17.10 and Kali so always install the Ubuntu version first to avoid conflicts. I've already found a few ARM64 packages that only exist in Kali's repo and plan on installing those (since they don't cause conflicts) by default in future versions of PELinux64.

YOUBOOB VIDEOS

The Kali Linux guys have a ton of videos so I guess I need a few too. Here's how to get started using Privacy Enhanced Linux 64.

And while you have gparted open, check out all the file systems supported by default. NTFS support is compiled into the kernel itself.
