Working in the mines, need something?
When it comes to older versions, I think Nekiro's downgrade 7.72, Sarah Wesker's distro based on it, is the best starting ground. There may be a few that says different, but it's all to take into consideration. Myself would select Sarah's engine since it's a bit more updated, on the other hand other might recommend different bases.What’s the best distro for a newbie to start with if I want to build an old-school 7.6–7.72 setup now, but still have an easy time switching to a different distro later on?
The violet Project, as I've heard is a nice base, but I am not aware of it being open source. So I'll not offer this later on unless I get permission to do so.
You have a small argument above if you scroll up regarding blacktek project, where you can check that out as well.
From YourOTS, you can select Nekiro or Nostalrius as your start base for now.
