Linux distributions on PINE64 ?

[texadactyl]

On http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pine_A6...ge_Release, the latest (20160421) link to a Ubuntu download is http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pine_A6....2C_Pine64

All images mentioned on the wiki page are named based on longsleeps image and for each of them is clearly stated that the GUI is added on top. I also don't know who made those images, but they are NOT the original images from longsleep (can be found on this server: https://www.stdin.xyz/downloads/people/l...64-images/), so my statement above is correct and also longsleep confirmed it!

I was not trying to be critical of anyone.  I only wanted to point out that at the official Pine A64 Software Release wiki page that those linked "Ubuntu" images are, in fact, Xubuntu images.  The descriptions there even say "based on Longsleep"; there are no inferences that Longsleep built these specific images.

There probably ought to be links directly to Longsleep's minimal system images from the official Pine A64 Software Release wiki page in addition to the pre-build desktop system image links.  That way, one could start fresh and install any desired desktop (E.g. Lubuntu, KDE, Gnome 3, Mate, ...) providing such support existed in the APT repositories (which is still a mystery but so was RPi in its infancy).

Make sense now?

Pine A64/A64+ software support "model" is still mostly a series of mysteries.  I don't mind at all.  It's part of the experience.
