There is a way to easily encrypt and hide torrent transmissions, unfortunately you cannot do it with Transmission as far as I know however I intentionally left the bit-torrent client in PuppyCrypt unsecured in order to divert illegal intentions. What do you mean by "unsecured"? I'm gettin...

Just so you know. I run as root. I install any software that takes my fancy. I usually run the Puppy firewall out of habit. Never bother with GROWL. What I know about security can be written on the back of a clam shell. Personally, the main thing I dislike about running as root is that you are esse...

Unless I'm mistaken, each is based off the respective distros. Also, I understand running from CD is more secure (and have also read the Wiki multiple t...

So I've been using Puppy for a long time now, mostly for recovering data and running assorted computers from Live Discs. Now I've stumbled on a rather uncomfortable situation - my laptop has a cracked screen and it's time to send it in before my warranty expires, so now (after fighting with a rather...
