Likewise not a programmer, but TechnoS has once more come up with what looks like something really useful -if I'm understanding his concepts. TechnoS identified it as "for low resource computers that still want to do a frugal install... or just the minimalist at heart ". I think its also w...

I've read this, was intrigued, but am left with the question: why? Chrome/google is good - have used it daily now for several years on Puppy and Win. If the need is for an efficient entry to the work environment, then the "metro" style is yet to prove it is better than other "menu&quo...

Barry gave us quite detailed information (from his blog): I don't plan to just suddenly pull the plug, rather just put Woof (and Puppy) in "maintenance mode" while a few things get sorted out. "Maintenance mode" means that I will continue to work on Woof, but just focused on esse...

rcrsn51 is almost certainly correct (and is a reliable source of advice). Even with the most suitable linux, 48 meg RAM just won't be of any practical use. Plus many other issues. But you haven't given anyone enough information to assist you. Or diagnose your real problem. pls explain why you want t...

GCM - your posts are usually interesting, so I read this one. Browsers are also interesting, being (or becoming) close to the meaning of life (i.e. part of the operating system, as defined). However, your questions are straw-men. They assume problems where none exist; indeed the problems could be op...

Simargl I read your topic title and first message. In the first sentence, the phrase chosen path to follow could be a problem. Puppy world does not understand "chosen", "path" or "follow". Your Alpha is good, could turn out to be an excellent truffle. Thank you.

Maybe this topic is not so off-topic - with many getting gizmos with Win8 pre-installed, it looks like an increasingly common issue/problem ? And when contributors like TedDog, rcnrsn51 and KP get involved, it certainly makes one's ears prick up? It is a bit cryptic at the moment (does Ted Dog mean ...

Following this Upup thread? Pemasu promised to update Upup (Sat Feb 09, 2013 6:57 pm) and he has done so. Go to new thread for Upup Precise 3.8.2 http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=84944&start=15 And thanks pemasu - really good, works well. jabu2 (chrome - older laptop -synced wind...

Pemasu, you said you:
downloaded latest google-chrome .deb, copied /usr/* from my existing google-chrome sfs and symlinked those libs in firefox folder. ...
.....might do that symlinking for next build so that they are there ready.

That would be helpful, and thanks.

For multi-device syncing, Win and Linux (which is the reality for many), travelling and home/office purposes, Google chrome seems practical solution to many issues, once set up. Thanks to those updating the puppy chrome versions.

Old Compaq laptop 1. experience with similar age laptops and specs suggests the advice from sfeeley and retrotechguy and others will get you up and running with your hardware 2. don't know where you are, but getting and installing matching RAM is first and best option, and usually available. Plenty ...

Kenshen cloud computing has been a topic for some time. see post 2 in response to your opening gambit where Geoffrey pointed you in the right direction -and also read sszindian's posts in the topic Geoffrey directed you to. And why not try sszindian's efforts to meet whatever your requirements are. ...

Unless there is some unusual reason to use OO, would it not be better for most to use LibreOffice? LibreO is easy download sfs and seems very solid on Lu 5.2.8 and Slacko Seems like LibO is here for the long-haul, and as long as sfs gets updated from time to time, should be long-term user in Puppies...

Fujitsu Lifebook S6210 1 Gb RAM (no OS except Puppy - have SWAP file) Slacko 5.3 is now first choice Lupu 5.2.8+updates second No issues. Wireless and ethernet connections, sound, pcmcia functions (several incl flash disk use) all worked rotb (right off the bat). Wireless even when travelling is pai...

gcmartin I read your post most carefully, and your pleas. All good stuff, and I do sympathise. But the history of Puppy tells me that Playdayz has got it in few words, viz: There are only two rules: 1. Puppy (at this stage) aims for 128 mb for reasons stated by Playdayz 2. Puppy needs no other rules...

The Form vs Function arguments have been going on since long before Turing was a boy. Bling vs No Bling ditto. The argument will always be with us. The debate will never end, the argument is not resolvable, because there is no argument. Surely, Puppy (and all bits of kit and their OS), are hammers, ...

Site is based on searching (for alternative software to something you have or you think you want :D ) So a conventional index is not really needed. Just use the Search box. Perhaps a note of caution: this type of site (and similar other listings) may not be so useful with Puppy - because your choice...
