Pelo, the next time you revive a thread that is more than one year old and I see it, I swear to God I'm reporting you for it.

@pelo: Carolina Linux: Vanguard Edition is an updated Carolina. Carolina was an updated Saluki.

Saluki's kernel dates back to the modified Wary kernel jemimah created for Puppeee.

It's too old to cope with modern goodness.

It's old enough that it has electronic cobwebs. As the Beatles said: let it be!

'ey, 77 -- that client is going to give you real hurting if you want to do anything graphical on it. The thin client that spawned the whole openchrome graphics driver drama I went through was a C90LE... it's fixed now, mind you, but it's anything but smooth sailing in terms of implementation. Incide...

IIRC, I was the suggester. It just seemed like a good idea, a way to move Puppy forward. Right now we have two mainline TahrPup editions, both numbered 6.0.5. One is 32bit, one is 64bit, and differentiating between them gets awkward fast, especially with the newbs in Beginner's Help. So, the idea --...

GNOME-Mplayer is pretty good. I use it on the netbook.

I use Audacious on my main system because the Winamp-style interface makes me feel good. I guess there are some things I haven't learned to un-Windows from yet

Fair enough, but cluttered minds sometimes have latency issues.

I know mine does

Haha, thanks. I'm in the midst of like five different projects right now...

Partially assembled 80186 system based around an Ampro "Little Board". This is a work in progress. Quick aside: the Ampro "Little Boards" are the foundation of the modern EBX and PC-104 specs. EBX is the modern Little Board form factor proper, and PC-104 arose out of the daughter...

That... sort of makes sense.

Although, an argument could be made: you would spend far less time waiting for things to happen, with say DSL (even slow DSL) than with dialup.

But there are other ways of dealing with that.

To paraphrase another member of this forum -- happy modem trails

@Doglover -- just curious, as someone who does not use Fatdog -- what is/are the trouble/s?

This. Exactly this. Please exactly this.

I have to say, at least to me, you don't come off sounding like that -- a little headstrong and a lot opinionated... but I'm actually somewhat surprised to hear that you're also an "Aspy" (as a friend of mine in college, who worked with us folks, used to call us). Nevertheless... my sympat...

Just wanted to add the note -- zippy, Flash is our resident moderator. You might want to be nicer to him than you have to me...

Just sayin'.

@anikin -- turned 30 this past June. I'm sorry that feels so old to you although I can sort of relate -- it felt old to me, at first, too... ya get used to it tho.

albeit a little undiplomatically I asked two questions, and I would like to think I was rather polite in each case. The first response was oddly indignant. The second response was no-holds-barred rude and was followed by The Silent Treatment. I don't think I'm the one being "undiplomatic"...

zippy, I feel compelled to remind you that this forum is a place where you are asking for help. Sending very rude PMs to members here will not get you that. I won't post what you wrote -- it's a PM, it's not meant for that -- but I will say that continuing to be rude to me -- or being rude to anyone...

zippy, what's "immature" about asking questions? EDIT: more to the point. The purpose of my questions is not to irritate or otherwise haggle you -- and please do accept my humblest apologies if that's what's actually happening. I'm trying to /understand/ you. Yes, I do tend to phrase thing...
