at the moment I'm using Fedora. it was the only one with a somewhat logical way to set up the lvm. Ubuntu will let you set up an lvm but doesn't help you configure it for multiple drives, which is kinda what you would use an lvm for isn't it? I think one of the problems I'm running into is that it i...

while not exactly a Puppy specific topic it could be. my system is currently using 4 2tb sata drives set up as one huge lvm volume. I'm now wanting to change some things up and no one really has an easy to deal with way of removing drives from and adding drives to a logical volume. most of the stuff...

has anyone else looked at the Gnome 4 announcement on Distrowatch? maybe it's just me but it's the funniest thing ever!

I'm still trying to figure out if it's real or a joke (April Fools and all).
either way, great stuff!

Many, many - and then a many multitude more! - thanks bones for having taken the time out of your day to relocate where you'd found that wallpaper for me and then posting it here! I truly appreciate it my fellow Puppian friend! Sure looks awesome on my desktop now! :D Thanks again. Eyes-Only "...

i think it would be fun if mister camping and his crew had a careful plan to disappear on the chosen day [not that hard as long as you have not committed a crime] and executed it jesus only took those guys??? I think it would have been more interesting if Jesus did come and took everyone but them!

For those poor confused souls fooled by all the FUD/Further Confusion about Puppy being 'derived from *buntu'....here's the GNU/Linux timeline showing the origins and derivatives of just about every Linux to date [There are a few omissions in the Puppy derivatives (52 has been quoted recently) and ...

Haven't tried Natty or Ocelot, and I think i will wait for a release that doesn't use Unity.. or can that be removed/disabled? I downloaded 11.04 and have played with it. Unity is a bit different but not terrible. you can log out and log back in with regular old Gnome like always. it defaults to Gn...

got a kick out of reading this thread, I started with Linux years ago with Red Hat. I went back to Windows for several years as Linux wasn't terribly easy to use in 2001. I found Puppy in 2007 and used it off and on for a year or two when I decided that Linux had finally advanced enough to be used f...

I mentioned earlier that I was going to change over to something more fun on my laptop, I'm almost totally decided. I've found the perfect distro, Bodhilinux. all the comfort of Ubuntu running Gnome, with all the beauty of e17. I've been playing with it in virtualbox, it's looking pretty promising. ...

HI, thanks for your post. my main thought was that some of the things that were so brilliant in puppy 2 never made it into puppy 3. same thing with some of the things that were great in puppy 3 never made it into puppy 4. and on and on. this thread was an attempt to get the window managers and deskt...

I've also heard that BSD was more secure but never heard much about Linux having real insecurities.
I suppose a bank on the moon is less likely to get robbed than one on a desert island but that doesn't address how hard it is to rob a bank on a desert island.

well that's good news, I'm already traumatized enough over Ubuntu going to the Unity desktop and Gnome going to Gnome Shell, both of which may be cool but neither of which work well enough to know how they are going to turn out. I'm kinda a creature of habit and like regular old Gnome. :lol: I've ne...

I've kinda been trained to notice subtle things that signal really big things. often the really big changes are signaled by very subtle announcements, sometimes it's just conspiracy theory stuff but it's good to be aware anyway. I just noticed on Distrowatch, Debian has just announced the release of...

just a quick post from the virtual machine running xubuntu, I've changed the wallpaper and gnomenu theme, here's what it looks like now.

Very impressed 37fleetwood :) what was the basic system you were using? Assume Xubuntu which may suit a requirement I have for my wife's Acer Aspire laptop struggling with an Aspire 6930 (orignally Vista Home, did the 7 upgrade for her and that doesn't seem to be an improvement) which I bought for ...

I'm not so new anymore
I wasn't talking about replacing Rox, just mainly changing the reference to the home icon on the desktop and a few of the most common instances
it was just a thought, I suppose xfce is relatively easy to install in 5.2 anyway.

You're right! I forgot all about that post

recently I mentioned a post I made on the Ubuntu Forum showing all the different window managers and desktop environments I could get going so that people could see just what there was out there. someone suggested I do the same here. problem is I'm not tech savvy enough to get very many going in Pup...

well, I got bored and decided to play with Xfce to see how easy it was to make it look like XP. here's what I came up with in less than an hour total. xubuntu (Xfce) and Gnomenu (some work would be needed in puppy to get Gnomenu working an dependencies met). I downloaded the wallpaper and Gnomenu ca...

I had an idea, how hard would it be to make it easy for a newbie to switch out Rox as the file browser for Thunar or one of the other two paned browsers? Thunar is easily installed within Quickpet but unless you install Xfce you get Rox any time you open something that opens a file browser. I've not...
