A forum member Antzus is having problems with the Nixnote 1.1 sfs that I uploaded some time ago. The Nixnote client will not sync with the Evernote server, throwing a missing SSL cert exception. I've checked this out with the latest stable version of Nixnote (V1.5) running under Linux Mint 15 - wher...

@musher0 Yes, I know it was intended as a joke and I have taken that way - so no worries. My reply to 8-bit was intended to be humorous as well. In fact this whole kingpup exercise is intended to be a humorous send-up of Windows in any case. That's an interesting suggestion concerning lxp-icewm. I'l...

@oui - some background on this. This whole idea of kingpup was inspired when I decided to update the version of Kingsoft that sits on my Android phone. I didn't realise that they also produced a Linux desktop version of this suite. This version is 32-bit only and is supplied in the form of a DEB for...

LOL I really must be getting old and losing my memory! Of course it was 2003 and not 2005 that the Puppy was born - so 10 years ago it is. This is a good reason for a party. How about organising a party here in Vienna? (or somewhere else for that matter). I suggested a Puppy "Treffen" a fe...

@oui wrote: in my eyes, Puppy has already reached 10 years now and it continues to use only ONE main sfs file Yes, that's a good point. In the early days when the Puppy ISO's were small, nobody really thought about the fact that with one sfs you are loading everything into memory whether or not you ...

musher0 wrote: Is there something troubling you at the moment? Well, now that you mention it musher0, the main thing that troubles me at the moment is the Microsoft-inspired UEFI fiasco. Barry has been looking into the implications of this as far as Puppy Linux is concerned and he's decided to do no...

Na ja, Puppy mit der Zeit wird immer noch größer. Mit 60MB hat er in 2005 begonnen.

Puppy is getting fatter by the minute. The standard Precise 5.6 is about 160MB - getting on for 3 times its original size in 2005.

OK, for all you Puppians who sometimes get an unexplained urge for a Windows fix, here is a little help to try to alleviate the symptoms. Here is a Puppy Precise 5.6 ISO remastered to include the latest Kingston Office Suite - a Microsoft Office look-alike (complete with ribbon toolbars) and some Mi...

Get the Kingston Office sfs here: http://www.adrive.com/public/85NbyD/kingston-9-0.sfs This is known to run on Puppy Precise (as a full install)and Debian Wheezy. Should be OK on Ubuntu as well. I have not extensively tested this office suite, so I can't say exactly how it would stack up in a produc...

Just been trying out Kingston Office (well-known on Android) on the latestPuppy Precise 5.6 You can download the 32 bit DEB here: http://wdl.cache.ijinshan.com/wps/download/Linux/unstable/kingsoft-office_9.1.0.4032~a10_i386.deb It installed with one click on the downloaded DEB file in puppy precise ...

SoftMaker runs fast on my hardware. Brother DCP-7030 printer seems OK as well. The source is closed, so not an ideal choice for the fundamentalists. Richard Stallman would need to take more of his hypertension medication if he got to know that Puppy was using this. How about just including TextMaker...

If you have a Google+ account you can join the Puppy Linux Google+ Community. You'll find it easily by doing a search from within your Google+ account. While Google in general is not everyone's cup of tea (for the usual reasons - no need to elaborate here) - Google+ nevertheless seems to be well reg...

Just installed Precise 5.2.73 Luvly jubbly The ATI Radeon HD6450 video hardware (recent but not the latest kit) got recognised at boot-up no problem. This is the first Ubuntu-based Puppy in recent times that has been able to do this. Real Ubuntu 12.04 itself managed this from the live CD but was not...

I've just installed Saluki 023. I can't get the proprietary AMD fglrx driver to build and install. I've tried upgrading XORG to 7.6 using the Saluki mega xorg pet, but still no joy. The ATI pet in the Saluki repo doesn't install either. I'm using the devx from Saluki 022 and the kernel sources from ...

@rcrsn51 Have tested the upgraded DEBBI pet in Fatdog600b1 with the Brother DCP7030 drivers as provided on the Brother website at http://solutions.brother.com Seems to have done the trick OK. Neither the Fatdog Package Manager nor the system itself crash now. Printer installed OK but needed to initi...
