- ↑ It can be used but some features seem really tied to Debian. For instance in /usr/share/common-lisp/source/consfigurator/src/property/apt.lisp get-default-mirrors only has the URL of the Debian mirrors. So certain functions do assume a Debian system but other work fine on Debian derivatives or other non-debian related distributions.
- ↑ There are local or sudo connection type available
- ↑ This works through SSH. It needs SBCL on the remote computer to support all the features. A reduced set of features is still available if the remote computer doesn't have SBCL.
- ↑ This is an advertised feature but I didn't test it yet.
- ↑ 5.05.15.2 This works through SSH. It also requires cockpit on the target computer.
-
↑ At the time of writing, the following packages are available:
- ↑ It should normally work as it doesn't require too much distro specific integration.
- ↑ It should normally work as it doesn't require too much distro specific integration.
- ↑ It's used by the FSF so it works
- ↑ PureOS 10 (byzantium) is based on Debian Bullseye, which is supports Freedombox (reference: "Currently, FreedomBox works in Debian Stable (Bullseye), Testing (Bookworm), and Unstable (Sid). " in the Debian wiki page about Freedombox. Installing Mediawiki also works well while in Trisquel it fails.
- ↑ Tested with the Debian instructions on Trisquel 10. After installing Trisquel with the default graphical install with the default partitioning or with the textual installation and selecting nothing in "software selection", and installing freedombox, installing Mediawiki broke apt because mysql didn't find its data directory.
- ↑ 12.012.1 It's the distribution native configuration interface so it works.
- ↑ Holo use the distribution package manager to handle the configuration, but holo-build only supports deb, pacman and rpm packages formats.
- ↑ It was added by the distribution so it works.
