[Grml] removal of "buffer" command? alternatives?

[Tom {Tomcat} Oehser]

Hmmm... 'atop' also?  Not as bad as 'buffer', but, I'm having withdrawal.

Is there a list of what was removed?

I'm unconvinced that filling 50% of iso images with unused stuff
(64 unused on 32, 32 unused on 64...) is an ideal trade-off.  I'm
just sayin...

For now I'm back on 11.5...

The little girl expects no declaration of tenderness from her doll.
She loves it -- and that's all.  It is thus that we should love.
