Pizzasgoods multiuser.

If Barry really wants to get the attention of Distrowatch and its rankings by releasing multiple versions, then why not make one of them a multi-user version.

Moblin/Clutter for Woof Netbook Remix? D/top?, handheld?

Tronkel has already mentioned this in the Jaunty Puppy Alpha9 feedback thread and I agree :) I think this UI would be fantastic for Puppy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFJaDy6ySbU&NR=1 I have used Moblin a couple of times now and it has an intuitive and as its name suggests, uncluttered interf...

Because Vista needs all the help it can get, it uses a system that allows a usb stick to be used as additional ram.

I wonder if there is a way to do this in Puppy or even make a swap partition on a usb stick?

I would guess it would need to be usb2 though.

nutts4life Glad my idea wasn't too silly :D Being a non technical bloke, I'm never too sure whether to post in these high flying forums!

Just a thought here, but couldn't a dock with stacks be modified to work like this? I tried gOS space recently, it uses the awn dock with stacks. I noticed that the stacks open in a transparent window that auto closes when you click the desktop. Maybe the stacks could be rearrange into grids and cus...

panel disappears

Hi Brandon, Thanks for making this pup. It ticks most of the boxes for me and my requirements. However I think there is a bug in the xfce panel manager. My two panels disappeared and after restarting them with "xfce4-panel" Firefox would not start from either the panel or the menu. Typing ...

I just had the same problem in DSL 2008. The panels disappeared and after restarting them with xfce4-panel Firefox would not start. Typing firefox into the console did nothing and when I tried to open the mozilla folder the computer froze. After rebooting a couple of times everything is ok again. St...

Sir Duncan, I think I'm now armed with enough info to help the guy out. Thanks. My only problem now is that I have become interested myself! But as Linux its self has become a hobby, if I started to learn programming as well, then I think my Lady would "up sticks" and leave me with the kid...

Sir Duncan, Thanks again for your speedy, informative and clear reply. From what I now understand, it seems that Puppy+Devx does indeed cover his initial requirements and would certainly be a painless way to get started with Linux. But as these things do, it leads me on to asking a couple more quest...

Thanks for the info guys. To boil it down, the IDE and distro are matters of preference, but the compiler you want is G++. G++ will come with, or at least be available with any distro you choose. A nice and simple answer, thanks. But one question, does the IDE provide a debugging function? Work with...

Getting started with C++ and Linux.

Hi all, A friend of mine who has been away from computers generally and programming specifically for about 15 yrs, has decided to start over. He has got himself a 3yr old (guessing) messed up XP machine that needs more than a spring clean. So he has asked me to help him get started with Linux and C+...

@ Prit1 This is a fine project, I love the mac look and have tried to make my xfce pup have the clean looks of the mac.

Thanks for the reply Paul,

I'm about to go away for an early Spring break myself :)

I'm really intrigued to see how this works. It could be great for Puppy.

Have a good Holiday,
