I don't mean to presume but... is English your first language? I'm finding it very hard to understand your question.

Bosola, from what I have experienced, Puppy Linux is a basic framework on which to build your own customized version for your own purposes. Its flexibility, speed and simplicity make it an ideal choice for anybody looking to e-cycle old systems, build new systems with dedicated purposes, or simply ...

I'll give my honest opinion. The problem that Linux faces from a marketing standpoint is that it's too diluted. by Consumers ask 'What's Linux?', without understanding the massive differences between distributions, or that Linux is more a family of operating systems than anything else. Ubuntu have m...

Out of interest, the first games I produced were in BASIC. Yeah, I know.

Exactly what sort of games are you wanting to produce?

It depends how far you want to go into it all. You might be best using a GPL 3d engine - like ioTech 3 (the open-source release of the Quake 3 engine), then building your games around that (a bit bulky for short games, though). Working around ioTech 3 would involve using C, but you've a flexible eng...

Copy writing is not the same as copyrighting. Copy writing is, as the name suggests, the writing of copy - publicity text. (Strictly speaking, 'copy' refers to the text that accompanies an advert). I do see that promotion is no use if there simply aren't the servers to deal with the demand, however....

Getting Involved

Hello, I'm a fairly new user who has been trying out quite a few Linux distributions. In essence, I've been looking for micro-linux distrubutions, and so Puppy is ideal. However, I'd like to do at least a little something in return, and I hoped that perhaps I could do work to promote Puppy Linux. I'...

No, I'm not actually using a 333 Mhz machine - I was just using it as an example of what Puppy Linux has to offer.

I like Puppy. But I feel it needs to really make a mark for itself in terms of the niche it wants to occupy. Want a barebones system that runs on legacy hardware? You can do it with DSL. Want a quick system on newer machines? There's Slitaz, which, though it's still facing (serious) teething issues,...

Because it works well, it's reliable, people already know how to use it and implementing other bootloaders might throw up all sorts of unforeseen bugs?

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it", and all that.

This is only my opinion, but I don't like the look of the start button. I'm sorry. It's just really offputting. Couldn't it be updated to make it more like the normal puppy logo? If fact, give me some guidelines, and I could even offer you some of my own made via GIMP. Still, I do like the aesthetic...

Anyway, I'm using Boxpuppy, the Puplet that's integrated with OpenBox. Now, maybe I'm making some terribly newbish mistake here, but I've tried to use the .pet package, ...
