Tablets have built in batteries. ---- So it's not exactly accurate to say one doesn't have power?

I have a UPS to keep my linux server running You could do the same with a notebook computer. ... How is it possible that you don't know about such new fangled inventions? When I traveled and commuted I had one, but they are hard to upgrade and not worth the extra expense. So I make due with a linux server and a Windows desktop that I've upgraded over the years.

OTOH, I'll consider accepting cash donations to upgrade my equipment -- might even install sysd & Win10 on new systems (though maybe not. :-)).

I'm not usually on this list but I just want to say that... If the discussion is about a rescue environment of a computer system, then that rescue environment depending for its usefulness on external resources is a bit of a contradiction in terms you know. That's all. I have had this discussion in other places but a rescue system that is not dependable is just a non-functional rescue system. That was on an Ubuntu mailing list. There are Ubuntu systems in which the rescue prompt is so buggy that you have a menu to select a bash prompt but after selecting the prompt the menu keeps responding to keypresses or something of the kind. Then someone responds with "It didn't do that for me." Great. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
