I still use ubuntu. but Puppy is still the best live CD/ USB OS, all the others crash after a while (i.e: when you want to DO something..)
and there are a few bugs with Ubuntu on old hardware, but all I use it for, is to use the GIMP..

So, why would he want a server with no X instead of the all mighty puppy?

As the blue people would say: "Keep moving" "There is nothing to see here".

Because you can install an X server... What 'Blue people'?

Or if you want something bigger than Puppy but smaller than Ubuntu, you could use Jeos whick I think is supposed to be a server, a usb drive server??? Whatever next?? but I don't think it comes with X on it...

I had to install Ubuntu about 3 times, because the screen didn't resize properly, and if you changed it, as soon as you re-login it crashes..[/quote]

The Idea with a login screen is that when someone turns your computer on, they don't immediately have root privileges. I just really wanted something more stable, that looks a bit better.
Yes, WhoDo, I think we should stick to our different OSs'.

Is my site really that bad?

Most of my 'creative' work is done off-line. I am a Java Programmer, not an HTML coder, thus the name; JavaNut.

The name is just a name.
This is what I've found, I'm not insulting puppy, I think Its quite good for a USB drive, but a desktop? No. Not my thing.

Ubuntu (Intrepid Ibex) isn't actually that much slower than Puppy, even on the same 9 year-old hardware. plus it looks better, you can have more than one user, theres a login screen, theres far more support, and it doesn't cost any more than puppy.

Its not 'Sad and confused' I run puppy off a USB and I don't want people knowing that I'm not using the operating system they want me to use.

look like you could brighten it up a bit?

How do I run puppy linux 4.1.1 with QEMU VM [/img]

Anyone??

I would like to make puppy completely like XP, the windows and most of the taskbar are sorted, these are the things I would like: (things with * next to them are non-compulsory) No extra Taskbar buttons, EG browser, RXVT, ect.. Still have four workspaces, moving between with CTRL+ALT+LEFT/RIGHT *Sim...

Thanks I did another alternative; create a sym-link in /root/my-applications/bin/ to the java path, not very clean, but it works.. I'll probably still set it in /ect/profile.local

thanks!

I Installed java onto an old HP pavilion and copied the installed Java Directory from my thumbdrive, which has puppy running on it.. the only problem is, the path isn't set. So how can I be a JavaNut without Java??? How can I set the Java path? I allready tried this: export PATH=$PATH:/root/my-appli...

Whew!!

That could have taken a long time!

After upgrading RAM, I accidentally changed the mouse to be a serial mouse, not a ps/2 mouse.

So how do I change the mouse back to be a ps/2??

Hi
I've got an old computer running puppy with no internet and want to install iceWM and the dotpupHandler, I've got internet on a different machine, but cannot find the .pet/ .pup files off the internet..

Does anyone know a site where I can download the pet/ pup files???

Heres the Image, not the original, because that was on puppy and the internet isn't working so I made a new one, same steps, different colour.

I booted off the CD and the internet worked, but I cannot start fresh because my files + apps are all in my pup_save file..
