I don't have a problem calling it 214X but if you want to play the marketing game then how about "The iPup."

01micko Hi Mate, Well if we ever had any disagreement then I am sure it was just a difference of opinion, which we all can have from time to time, and never anything personal. Even on the net it's possible to know who the good guys are and who they aren't. You have always been in the first camp IMO...

Hi tuuxxx, Not going anywhere particular...well perhaps might have another look at Crunchbang and SliTaz. But I've made myself clear elsewhere that I feel the foundations of Puppy are shaky and need sorting for Puppy's very long term survival. Sadly it seems few want to listen and some of Barry's re...

Hi MHHP, You are a bit late for any April Fools jokes but I think that's a great basic for a DistroWatch summary. So ttuuxxx what are your thoughts about releasing 214X or whatever it's to be called after recent events. I'm leaving Puppy but would like to see this project to its completion Happy Eas...

yaku runa: Puppy is not a popularity contest, Who cares what number it is? I guess you don't follow Barry's blog or else you would have seen that he seems to care. I really don't believe that more clicks on distrowatch makes a distro any better or more useful I tend to agree with you but this forum ...

Notorik Not sure what you mean by a PuppyBang. Crunchbang is based on Ubuntu (soon to be Debian) with IMO a very good front end and using the host distros selection of apps. Puppy wouldn't be Puppy if it were based on another distro like that. Dpup, Apup, Upup etc are somewhat different IIUI ie Pupp...

Whilst I can appreciate the artistic merit of splash2 :-) I tend to agree with MHHP. Clarf, yes I agree it's a bit quiet here and I guess we have to expect that'll be like it for a while as ttuuxxx has taken on the challenge of making 4.3.2 I guess we'll have to try to keep the plates spinning whils...

RetroTechGuy Your quote from Barry's blog is dated 8 Feb when his idea was just as you described ie an experimental unofficial pup. However if you followed his blog daily you'd have seen one on 19 March where he has cleary changed his mind and 4.3.2 is a potential official pup So, I know that I am ...

You haven't said which version of puppy you are using so my answer here is a general one. In most any linux you can often find the version of an app by #app_name --version or #app_name -v or if that fails use the app's help to see if it tells you what to use ie #app_name --help Puppy is not too stan...

Hi Bert, Yes I do inhabit the SliTaz forum along with the TinyCore, Crunchbang, Arch and some other forums, although Puppy is still my main interest. I think those distros are good examples of how a one-man led (or a very small group led) distro can have structure and a well stocked repository. Thos...

FlyingRedGoat wrote One of the reasons cited for puppy's failing popularity was a small selection of software in the repository. Sadly the source did not seem to be aware of the ample sources in the forum. Yes I am aware that there are many apps, as well as pointers to apps, in this forum. The fact...

Puppy's future is still not secure
A few weeks ago I realised I was not alone in worrying about the future of Puppy Linux. In a thread started by another about Puppy's diminishing place in Distrowatch's ratings (where today we are even lower) I used the opportunity to say why I thought Puppy was spiralling down. To sum it up I believ...
