I just have mine set up as a file server using LxPupXenial 16.08 with xampp. If I want to see or use as a desktop, I just run vnc. Most times I just use samba to connect to the storage drive. I use ssh a lot because I can remotely shut the server down, check stats or just put it to sleep/wake. I wro...

libxaw95-1.1.4 installs to /usr/X11R7

If I remember right..... the libs should be in or linked to /usr/local/lib

That may be wrong but worked for me

I still have a few chromecasts. Rarely use the since we got a firestick.
That took things to another level all together. I can still cast from puppy but I rarely have to anymore.

I use to use this. It ran well in wine. It doesn't have a calender persay but you can set an alarm to pop up with sound on the date you want.

I'm sure there's better but it served my purpose.

I hate the start menu. I'd rather be able to delete a icon right on the menu or add folders to it for things I don't use.

Then again, I may be behind the times, is it still the same as older pups?

Mike...

I believe it was here:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/i386 ... e/download

The script you suggest gives me this output:

LATEST_VERSION=32.0.0.156
INSTALLED_VERSION=!

Then it exits out.

Am I missing something required for it?
