crockett Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 ..and yet nobody in the comments of the video gets it. Lyrics below, just in case. Across a painted desert lies a train of vagabonds All that's left of what we were, it's what we have become Once our empires glorious but now the empire's gone The dead gave us the time to live and now our time is done Now we are victorious, we've become our slaves A land of hope and glory, building graveyards for the brave Have you seen the writing on the wall? Have you seen that writing? Can you see the riders on the storm? Can you see them riding? Can you see them riding? Holding on to fury, is that all we ever know? Ignorance our judge and jury all we've got to show From Hollywood to Babylon, holy war to kingdom come On a trail of dust and ashes, when the burning sky is done A tide of change is coming and that is what you fear The earthquake is a coming, but you don't want to hear You're just too blind to see Have you seen the writing on the wall? Have you seen that writing? Can you see the riders on the storm? Can you see them riding? Can you see them riding, riding next to you? Have you seen the writing on the wall? Have you seen that writing? Can you see the riders on the storm? Can you see them riding? Have you seen the writing on the wall? Have you seen that writing? Can you see the riders on the storm? Can you see them riding? Can you see them riding, riding next to you? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAY before your time. We were still talkin "Love" **** back then...not the end of the world.

So far, so good. I've been using Debian, or a Debian distro for more than two decades now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debian is a version of the Linux operating system. A major version release happened yesterday and I've been playing around with it. A Debian-based operating system powers the server this site resides on. I've used Debian and Uubuntu (Which is Debian-based) as the operating systems on my servers since I originally started Glock Talk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Debian on a web server a long time ago, but never any lunix / unix on a client. I use too many programs that only run on Windows (properly).
