Nothing will change in April, only attitudes Mike I know most of it's just FUD, but I want the kids to see that there are options out there besides M$ and Crapple. Most of them just know the iphone interface and windows. Heck, sit them down in front Windows 8 and half of them will freak out because...

As you may or may not know, Microsoft is ending support for XP. Many are predicting tons of exploits pouring out of the woodworks on zero hour. I'm the sysadmin for a small school with no budget/time for upgrading our 300+ computers to Win8. We fall in a magical bracket where we don't really qualify...

Now, if only there were a sensible way of getting the latest Krita shoehorned in there.

I've actually booted puppy on it, at this point, it's just a matter of tweaking the settings so I can get the wacom drivers working, which is kind of a pain in the butt. I guess what I'm really wondering is if anyone has gotten the latest versions of Krita and Gimp going for puppy, and if so, which ...

I can boot from usb, or I can dock it and boot from cd. I prefer usb.

I've got a fujitsu stylistic st5112. This thing is just begging to have a lightweight distro dropped on it. It's wacom penabled, so it will have to have wacom support built in. On top of that, I have 4 essential apps that I need: 1. Gimp + G'mic plugin 2. Krita (2.7) 3. Inkscape 4. A decent modern b...

I finally got it working! What I ended up doing is running every single "wacom" package available in the repositories, modifying the xorg.conf file to include the entries for wacom, then I restarted x, ran depmod, and suddenly the options were available in gimp. I had to do some adjusting ...

Which puppy do I need to be able to get my Wacom Bamboo (fun) working with full pressure sensitivity and be able to run the latest gimp (2.8)? I've been trying to get everything working in precise, but I can't get the pressure sensitivity going. I did manage to install the sfs which gives me gimp 2....

The disadvantages are 1. Less functionality 2. The time you spend figuring out how to strip it down Given that it's already easy to declutter the menu, and that most people don't really care about 50MB of disk space, I think it's a better use of your time to help me improve Puppeee and Fluppy. I do...

Ahh... cool. Somehow I missed fbreader. I'll have to start fresh tonight and see what I can come up with. Thanks for your help.

Meanwhile, I'll have to try and think up a name for my puppy.

I'm thinking maybe PupLit. Any suggestions?

Well, I tried fluppy last night on my emachines netbook (it's a rebranded Acer) and everything worked right off the bat. I added fbreader with little trouble--which has built in screen rotation. I'm thinking I might try to get calibre working on it (I'm not a fan, but some ebook collectors swear by ...

Okay, this is an idea for one of our more talented developers-- I would like to see a puplet that is optimized for ebook reading. I'm thinking it would be a really stripped down puppy like turbopup extreme, probably optimized for netbooks, and the apps would all be ebook related software. You could ...

Loving turbopup so far! I'm having trouble doing a full install however. Other than this (which I'm sure is just inexperience on my part) little hiccup, it's great.

Thanks for the mirrors!

I can't seem to get to this to download it. But it sounds really cool.

Still no solution?

Add me to the list of frustrated folks. I've not been able to get sound working on my 2150 either.

When I try to load the r8180 module I get: Loading r8180 failed with the following message: FATAL: Module ieee80211_crypt_rtl not found. FATAL: Module ieee80211_crypt_wep_rtl not found.

That thread didn't really help me. I don't think the 701sd uses the same drivers as all the other eee netbooks. I never could get it to see the wifi. I was able, however, to make it see the ethernet.
