Talk:Frugalware Linux

message: I'm trying to fix the tone, but I seem to have some problems that I can't find what parts are too promotial.
The word 'try' is mentioned multiple times. I'm not saying that you're wrong, you have more experience than I have. But a little help pointing out what's wrong would be helpfull --DNAku 20:45, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Just a hint: the german wikipedia article about Frugalware was deleted because the admins of de.wikipedia.org thought
Frugalware is not relevant enough for wikipedia. You can find the german article 
here now.--Haary 22:03, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Frugalware is developed by a community, so I don't think it is correct to emphasize its founder by mentioning him in the lead section. The lead sections of Gentoo Linux and Debian don't mention their founders or leaders. Compare them to the lead section of Slackware, which mentions Patrick Volkerding. But he is the only maintainer of the distribution.
I removed the text that said that Frugalware is from Hungary. There are Frugalware developers from other countries, too, so you can't say that Frugalware is from one country. 82.215.250.139 19:10, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Frugalware.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:27, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Frugalware.png

message: Is there any hint on what the minimum system is for this suggestively-named distro? I mean, it's not beyond my current means to put together an i686 compliant rig that has - just for the hell of it - only 4mb RAM (single FPM SIMM and a board that allows single-module running), a 120mb hard disc, and an ISA Hercules card (yay for piles of computer junk in the cupboard)... not to mention a heinously anaemic Cyric 6x86 PR166 chip... or various other spec levels between that and whatever Frugal actually demands, so assuming that it's not possible to combine that spec of CPU with impractically useless other hardware (e.g. "anyone with a i686 chip is going to have at least 233mhz, 64mb, a multi-gig disc and a 3D card!") is a bit careless. 193.63.174.10 (talk) 11:04, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
