I like this music player too, very small (good!), runs well and light in my experience. The only thing it doesn't have, is support for m3u and .pls, so no streaming radio... :( , if not for that, it would be the perfect music player to me, very simple, stable, quick to start, plays CD's, not a lot o...

Been a while since I checked in, but after trying several new pups, I just had to post some kudos :wink: The new 5.28 is amazing, the best yet for the "main" line of puppies, everything detected and 100% functional, fast fast. Installing Nvidia drivers for my machine was the nicest experie...

There are zero good reasons not to offer both a fully loaded version, and a minimal version, again I say, Linux is supposed to stand for choice. Give the people who still have only 256mb to work with, a modern Puppy to use, there are many parts of the world, where this is the best they can afford. ...

There are several reasons why a very minimal system is undesirable as the default. 1. Many people use Puppy as a live CD and never create a save file. You want your Puppy CD to be able to open as many formats as possible and have as many drivers as possible. The idea is to create a system the just ...

With this approach you can get a ~100 MB Puppy, but I still don't see why it's so important to make it so small with today's hardware. Right, older computers can benefit a lot from small puppies, but you'd probably use 2.14x or any old Puppy on such hardware so there's nothing to worry about. Not t...

Yes , the next macpup is based on 5.1.1 . The one after this may use 5.2 that depends on when the next release of e17 comes out. Because of 5.1.1 size (130mb)and that fact that all of the extra stuff that we usually put in like opera,firefox or gimp is so easy to install from quickpet that I am lea...

There was lots of grumbling on the Avast forum about version 5.0. Some users went back to version 4.8. Yep, I didn't like it right at first either, I keep all my old executables archived for just that reason, and kept 4.8 for a long time too. 5 went a little crazy with the GUI and scanners and star...

The constitution and the bill of rights, is not a cafeteria/buffet where you can go down the line and only pick out the dishes that you personally find tasty. The 9th amendment basically affirms that in your house, or on your property, you don't have to take s**t from anyone, and can throw them off ...

A faggot, is a bundle of sticks tied together.

Again we see, ignorance is not restricted to certain zip codes only.

Viruses I'm wanting advice about AV scanners, from anyone more experienced with XP than myself, which is probably everyone. ~ Hi Bruce, my advice, which is only an opinion okay? AVG is junk, worse, it's a false sense of security. Last computer I saw running AVG had 151 instances of infections on it...

Why would you want to make it as small as possible? Maybe just to show you can. I remember those old DOS systems. They were tiny and at the time they seemed like they could work miracles, but they were really primitive compared to Puppy. I tend to believe dealing with OS size is a balancing act. Tr...

Someone at Google ? I'm not sure I follow you, do you mean over at the Ubuntu forum? Hmmm, that wouldn't surprise me, you guys here know how I like to run my mouth, lol, and I have sung Puppy's praises several times over there, while lamenting Ubuntu's mediocre stability. Here's part of one: Quote: ...

Dragynn, I've just realised that no one has pointed you too pUPnGO here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=51478 One option for this does not even have a GUI and at 6-7MB should suit you down to the ground. Version six ISO size? They haven't decided on a roadmap yet so who knows (sho...

I'd just like to point out that a Saluki is one of the fastest dogs on earth, this level of speed and grace is only achieved by the fact that there isn't an ounce of wasted space on a dog of this sort, lean and swift, no extra baggage..... Why re-invent the wheel? ... " As per my usual habit of...

A big thank you to "Mr." martin over in another thread, as I told him, Puppy DOES have Samba, though just the client, and in truth I didn't know what it was, thought maybe it was a building block. His ranting caused me to spend a few minutes reading wikipedia, and if I hadn't, I wouldn't h...

Weighing in here to offer kudos for a well-made and thoughtful puplet! Works great! I do prefer another browser other than the two offered, but it was no trouble hitting the package manager and loading the one I wanted. Nice compact iso without a lot of bloat and low ram usage, great job, can't wait...

Nooby, the Turbodog Xtreme version runs really light, the interface is just very minimal, but you can turn the conventional desktop icons back on I have found, just have to check through the menus. SliTaz is probably the way to go for now on 256-or-less machines, it's what i've been running on my ol...

Dragynn, I'm sorry if my comment to your thread seemed rude. I certainly didn't mean it that way. Good luck with your project. No need at all, your comments were anything but rude, i'm sorry if it seemed like I was implying that you were, you were actually very gracious, thank you for replying. I c...

#2. Puppy is tiny. There is no way this OS can be considered bloated in today's world. (strictly my opinion, but then, I like to think I'm always right . No, SliTaz is tiny, 30 mb iso, around 145 fully loaded, and it's fully functional. Puppy is 130 mb, and over 300 fully loaded. Not asking for Sli...

I hope you will make your OS widely available when it is finalised. Well I would, but according to all sources here, no one in the entire world would want or appreciate such. Someone else mentioned Browserlinux, and I would have to second that as a wonderful choice, almost perfect for what I envisi...
