The DNA evidence reveals a massively complex branching and interbreeding of early homo species Modern humans comprise DNA from Sapiens Neanderthal and Denisovan..and there are many other extinct species who may or may not have wandered out of Africa and set up camp in other places in the world. And had sex with later arrivals, "Around 6 million years ago, a branch of apes evolved to become the first species of the genus Homo. These early humans ditched the long arms of apes for stronger legs. While they could no longer swing around on trees, they could stand upright, walk, and colonize new ecosystems, away from the forest. The brains of early humans grew until we were using complex tools to hunt large animals, build fires, and construct shelters. "By the time Homo sapiens arrived on the scene some 300,000 years ago, we were the ninth Homo species, joining habilis, erectus, rudolfensis, heidelbergensis, floresiensis, neanderthalensis, naledi, and luzonensis. Many of these species lived for much longer periods of time than we have" And that isn't even the latest statement. -- The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule. – H. L. Mencken, American journalist, 1880-1956

That's because hom. sap. left Africa several hundred thousand years ago "The team found part of a fossil human jaw with anatomical features that correspond to the modern human species Homo sapiens, as opposed to other pre-modern humans such as Neanderthals. The researchers dated teeth from the jaw and flint tools found with the remains, obtaining an average age for the specimens of about 177,000-194,000 years old. Until now, the earliest fossil evidence for Homo sapiens outside Africa was from other sites in Israel, dating up to 130,000 years ago."

The Just So Stories evolve faster than h. sapiens ever did. OOA presumed L3 mtDNA left Africa headed east and evolved into the M lineages common through out Asia. Except for M1, which is found in north Africa. Either some women got homesick and went back to north Africa or M arose separately from the sub-Saharan L3. I'm sure the analyses will lead to some surprises. Well before DNA Sinclair Lewis wrote a novel 'Kingsblood Royal'. The protagonist starts a genealogical search expecting to find Charles II or someone up the family tree and discovers a nigger in the woodpile, so to speak. It doesn't go well.

NO SUCH THING as a 'standard human' at all. Just hybrids of hybrids of hybrids for 300,000+ years. DNA studies prove groups kept moving back and forth and around - fucking anything that looked good all along the way. Throw in some Neaderthal and Denisovian and maybe a little Erectus too.

I believe it is still available in Tumbleweed, which is upstream of SLE. Leap 16 is sort of like the old CentOS that was downstream of RHEL. Companies would have a couple of RHEL licenses but most people would use the free CentOS for compatibility. People were pissed when Stream moved upstream of RHEL and downstream of Fedora and created Rocky.

I usually grab the beta when it's available and that hasn't been a problem though I might get more updates than waiting for the release. I updated to Ubuntu 26.04 today. It took several hours but everything I tried so far seems to work as before except the Python venvs since it went to 3.14. I did have a problem with Playwright since it doesn't support 26.04 yet. There's a funky workaround that sort of works.

I *do* seem to be having lots of problems with the latest distros. Try a few as VMs, but with Fedora it was a bare-metal install on an Intel based box - TWO actually. > I updated to Ubuntu 26.04 today.

Too many pointless diffs from Deb, too many "buy our cloud/whatever shit" pushes. Pure Deb is still "ok" and MX is even better. A gazillion other Deb derivs out there too, pick yer poison. Removed a good Deb13 VM so I could play with SUSE. It was good enough though that I made an "appliance" out of it ... a VDI and OVA to suit whatever ... before zapping it from my VBox.

I've never seen it with Ubuntu. There is the 'pro' thing that is free to individual users. When I upgraded to 26.04 yesterday I skipped that screen.

Forget it. Squished it into an OVA and sent it to the dark dimensions of my NAS. Then DELETED the VM. My appraisal - DON'T BOTHER. OpenSUSE used to be SO good, SO complete, SO helpful. Now ........ And frankly don't entirely trust the RPM universe since RH sold out to IBM. If IBM wants me to be a beta-tester it can PAY me.

Your options are quite limited. I was going to put up MX in a VM. It may be me but the estimate was 2 or 3 hours to download the 2.8 GB Xfce iso. I canceled the download and may try again some time. I'm not a fan of anything that goes through SourceForge for downloads.

Great "middle" distro with some very useful add-on utils. Everything seems to Just Work as expected/needed. No BS. The XFCE version is probably "best" overall, but as I remember you're a KDE fanatic. Red Hat used to be good ... but after selling out to IBM, it and all the downstream versions became basically "beta testing" versions for IBM. As said, they can PAY ME to be a beta tester. Don't hate RH or IBM - indeed own some stock - but NOT gonna be their beta tester. Of course plenty of OTHER distros out there beyond MX, Linux and BSD. IF you have the bandwidth then try 'em and see what fits YOUR wants and needs. I'm not some religious crusader here ... whatever suits YOU. FLUSHED the disappointing OpenSUSE ... updated and made an OVA and removed it from my VMs. Will use the space to try other stuff. It'll remain on my most obscure NAS drive for awhile, until I want the space for something else. SO disappointed ! Remembered MUCH better ! Hmm, ever tried GenToo ? I never did. Might be worth a look .......

Don't need another KDE to confuse me. I had Debian/Xfce on my Linux box at work. Certainly usable and the trailing edge is a good place to be with a production machine.

When I switched from Red Hat Linux to SuSE in 2002, RHL was sort of beta. Q.v. gcc 2.96. https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.96.html They had to follow up with another version since it wouldn't compile the kernel. The RHL Python brew also broke existing scripts. There were probably other problems I didn't run into. It only took a couple of decades before I would look at Fedora. > Of course plenty of OTHER distros out there beyond MX, > Linux and BSD.

Truth is for what I do Leap, Fedora, Ubuntu, and Mint/Cinnamon all work equally well. antiX with IceWM might not but that's sort of an experiment with the eeePC. That isn't and never was something you'd want to do a lot of work on. I do keep an eye out for a distro when I get ambitious enough to redo the Ubuntu box. 26.04 is the end of the line for it. Even 26.10 supposedly will be filled with AI goodness. > Hmm, ever tried GenToo ? I never did. Might be worth a look ....... Nope. I don't distro hop as much as put different distros on different machines for variety. I've got other fish to fry than nursing Gentoo or one of the BSDs along.

Distro-hopping ... means throwing away more work that I'd like. Distro TESTING however ... that's something VBox is good for. After some fooling around for years, MX is now my go-to. Middle-of-the-road, you can easily add to it or subtract from it. Good utilities selection, seems to run on anything even more reliably than Mint. Guess there's a reason it's been hovering near or at the top of the DistroWatch list for years on end. Did have a Manjaro box for awhile. A speck too weird but, with a few tweaks, it worked OK. Until, after about a year, the whole updates thing exploded to hell and NONE of the suggested fixes helped. Had to flush it. The box is now ... you guessed it. Now for a "small" Linux - ANTIX - but DO have to replace all those utterly dismal and depressing Greek commie backgrounds with something more cheerful :-) Still interested in trying GenToo ... never have. Some describe it as "Linux-ish" though technically it's a Linux. BSDs ... have had best experiences with Dragonfly and Ghost. Free/Net/Open ... great for servers but not the best 'desktop' experience. Not REALLY what they're meant for however. Did run one my office servers on Free for about a year - solid and secure if not exactly 'cutting edge'. BSDs are always behind when it comes to drivers. Still, now, I'd pick Free over the Gnome-infested CENTOS.

I know you had problems with it but I haven't. KVM/Xen and friends ... works but it's just nasty/crude compared to VirtualBox. Used 'em all on my office servers. Alas VBox, of late, has become kinda weird. MAYbe they'll fix it, MAYbe they'll only do it if you pay lots of money. We'll see shortly. VMs can be very useful. Great for testing new distros ... but can also be used to turn your expensive super-server into MANY de-facto machines. Everybody got USED to this, but NOW that path is NOT as clear - unless you want to spend vast quantities of money. MIGHT be cheaper to buy 10 actual boxes instead ..... For the record, do NOT think it's a great idea to VM one machine into 10. Hardware FAILS ... and then it'll take your WHOLE operation down. Been there, seen it, smelled the smoke coming out of the server. Yea, ACTUAL smoke - higher-end board too. Just this week I tested OpenSUSE. After allocating what I *thought* would be enough fake disk space I saw I'd already used up like 85% plus. VBox ... just move a slider and wait maybe ten minutes. KVM/Xen/etc ... it's editing fiddly config files and then two or three weird/dangerous ops to convince the OS to use the extra space. So, guess which solution I go with ....

I didn't try really hard but VB on Mint didn't go smoothly even after blacklisting the kvm module. It bitched about dependencies that looked like they would conflict with installed packages. No need when 'apt install virt-manager' goes smoothly. > For the record, do NOT think it's a great idea to VM one machine into > 10.

I had a long discussion with one of our senior implementation people. Mirroring a VM to another VM on the same box doesn't cover your ass very well. We used VMs for testing in house. The discussions could get heated if someone shutdown a VM they didn't think anyone was using to fire up another one. > Just this week I tested OpenSUSE.

I skimped with MX and gave it 20 GB. It used 11 G, which is okay for my purposed. I also gave it 8 GB of RAM and so far it's used under 1 GB. Not bad.
