A real cornerstone of the puppy community and all round great guy, we'll miss you nooby.
Rest in peace brother.

I haven't really kept up to date with all this windows secure boot stuff but might be in the market for a new laptop soon - i guess most new hardware now come's with windows and this secure boot thing, is it easy to disable and install linux?

My English is not good expressing these things but I agree with Eyes-Only and others both of you are important contributors and friendly part of the forum. Hi Nooby, Hope you are keeping strong? I have been using Crunchbang these last few months - not sure if you can frugal install it but certainly...

Welcome back Stu as you've been missed! I was wondering where that prolific contributor to Puppy had gone... and now I know! :D ( Honestly! I never think to send private messages to people asking them where they are or if they're okie, etc. -sigh!- ) Again Stu, welcome back. Good to have you home f...

funnily enough this is one of the reasons i just reinstalled puppy - im using an amd dual core running squeeze-5.X.3.4.12-SCSI, firefox 28 and the last version of flash.

I use:
Adblock Plus and allow none obtrusive adds.
Ghostery.
HTTPS everywhere - https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere
Flashblock (sure i read that this or similar is now baked into firefox?)

Back in puppy land
Been using Cruchbang for the last several months, it's a great distro but its taxing my old laptop and its failing hard drive a little to much - so back in puppy land with an old favourite, dpup exprimo!

Switched from Bodhi to Crunchbang for my full HDD install - going to try and leave it be and just use it as my main OS over the Christmas period. Well the no tinkering rule didn't last so long :D had to swap pulseaudio for alsa - the only thing i seem to read of pulseaudio is people having issues w...

For what your average windows user does on their system one of those google chrome book things would probibly be a better replacement.

stu91 your suggestion is not bad at all. I did test both GMX.com and Mail.com and GMX had some 40 Scam mails pretending to be about me and my Bank account or something similar. And mail.com had none at all. :) Banks here locally have warned about such mail that they have kinks to to sites that inje...

I think to sign up for a google account now you have to give google your mobile phone number - hows that not being evil going for you google :x I use mail.com i'm not saying it is any good as i think all web based mail is spied on or full of advertisements i always use an ad blocker so i dont see an...

Currently posting from a custom live wheezy build - i made it much the same way as sklimkin described on page 3 where you start with the min debian base and add to it - i have xorg, blackbox, xfe, wicd-gtk wifi plus some other stuff and .iso is around 170mb i didn't remove or trim anything all local...

Just been having a play with this. wifi > had to copy b43 firmware from puppy to debain live to get working wifi connection - managed to connect and get online ok. Any idea what package i need to install to get laptop touchpad / double tap working? I see there is now a Wheezy version - i should prob...

So light weight in size / resources full compatibility with debain repo - am i missing something, why isn't Puppy heading in this direction?

I and others have commented about how so much reinventing the wheel goes on around here. I think it`s very important to keep this in mind as any effort is put out. Let`s see what`s available. # Link to Pussy which is Puppy like and Debian based: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=6947...

I think perhaps to begin with the focus should be more along the the lines of a set of 'community tools' something that automaticly builds a consistent minimal sane base - then the community, individuals, groups or what ever can build and add to from there.

here is a super simple script to upload an image to http://www.imm.io image host - just past into a bash script and run in terminal - Enter image path and it will upload and output a web link for sharing. http://i.imm.io/1hg4o.png #!/bin/sh read -p "Enter Image: " IMAGE curl -s -F "im...

I have switched over from Porteus XFCE to the LXDE version - nothing wrong with the XFCE version, just a bit heavy for my old laptop. For grub2 with saved changes in a folder i use grub code: menuentry 'porteus LXDE' { set root='(hd0,1)' linux /porteus_lxde/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz from=/porteus_lxde c...

Hi stu91 Here is the pet for this. I named it 3.0 not sure if this would be right, but we can fix it if you want to much the version number. I do think that it does though. Let me know if any thing is broken so that it can get fixed Cheers Nice job oldyeller, Just had a quick test every thing seems...
