puppylinux.org was really intended for wiki use, so it now points to wikka.puppylinux.com which is kindly hosted by Chief Steward Micko. puppylinux.org will expire one year from now, and it will be Barry's decision to extend its registration under his name. People looking for the wiki should go to w...

ALERT FOR WIKI EDITORS

Thanks to 01micko, the wiki is now hosted at

wikka.puppylinux.com

Editors should use this new, wikka-upgraded site.

Thanks, Micko, for working on the transfer.

Getting this topic up - Micko has suggested that this be "stickied" instead of the "Puppy Linux Home Page" topic.

Thanks to Micko's help, we are trying to transfer the wiki to the host of puppylinux.com. This will unify hosting for content of puppylinux DOT org and DOT com. (Whether puppylinux.org stays as the wikka url is a matter of domain technicalities, so we wait).

So you live in a wealthy country (Norway) and you suggest that your poor is not worse off than the rich.

When you say that you pity the people in the US, do you mean "pity the poor people in the US"?

Thanks for the reminder about updating the news site.

I was thinking that linking the newsletter at the top of puppylinux.org will take care of latest news.

But as you said, the news site is being mentioned in releases, so back to working on that.

puppylinux.org hosts the wiki at http://puppylinux.org/wikka/ which is being updated by contributors.

The static pages in the site serve to link quickly to other Puppy Linux resources. But you're right, updates are [over]due.

Now in the process of updating/minimizing content of the static pages...

403 forbidden - access denied ???

EDIT - it's working now.

Yes, they restored it, with a warning that I should look at reining traffic in (somehow). Probably there is a way to set up cached pages at hostgator? (Yes, even for static pages.) It's CPU load that they watch, and I guess the Perl script is the load generator. Also, it will help to provide a high...

Looks like the admin denied everyone access to it.

- Maybe because of too many visitors?

Over at the RPi Forum, DavidS is showering praises on Puppy.

ibiblio.org already had a collection of Linux distros at that time, and Puppy stood out as small and fast, and its author (Barry Kauler) was virtually conversing with the user in his web pages. It's a surprise then to see Puppy's Rox in Pentium II machine perform like "Windows File Manager in s...

I can probably keep an xz'd Libreoffice in a USB drive and add it to Quirky Xerus later... My tests of the 8.0.25 and 8.0.98 both involved corrupted background image, lost icons at next boot (PuppyPin reports an error in line2). While booting, EXT4-fs is reported to have errors. It could be that shu...

It's good that RPI3 has both wifi and bluetooth built-in. Can't wait to begin testing...

I should be counted 2 'coz the wife has also been using the Pup in the office since 2005.

Or should be counted 4 if we count the 4 machines where the Pup is installed (2 laptops and 2 desktops).

Go for it, Techno, that is a good project. I've used FreeBSD in fileservers, and everything is mostly familiar. And for the readers' info, Puppy Linux is very much alive. For example, am using Tahrpup (updated December 2015) and it can install the latest LibreOffice simply through the scripts. Perha...

Unsuspecting people might allow the reading of their address book and if your email address is in there, gotcha

:D Excellent answer to your own question: Yes, GNU is Linux and Linux is GNU whether or not Linux and/or GNU like it. With obvious exceptions, namely, for example, the Android operating system, which utilizes 0 GNU parts, but relies on the Linux kernel. Barring exceptions like these, it's all GNU/Li...

Last sighting was in the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur corridor. Don't know if he boarded the MAS flight 370.

Minipup 202R will do it.
