I'm surprised you found this old post; that kind of attention to detail will serve you well! :wink: couple comments- there are several versions of Celtx floating around; they were using a 'cloud' version of pdf converter (when script was uploaded). Which version are you using? You might also find th...

Torvalds’ comments came after Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, boasted some growth in Linux: 2.7 million lines of code added to the kernel in the last year with 10,923 lines added daily but only 5,647 deleted daily.

A senior editor at zdnet/cnet(cbs) is running a poll about Linux after remarks by its originator, Linus Torvalds: At the LinuxCon conference in Portland this week, Linux creator Linus Torvalds dropped a bit of a bomb when he said that the open-source kernel had not become the “streamlined, hyper-eff...

mikeb - thanks, I hadn't thought of RAM contact tarnish! Will try checking, as AP said they found a broken stick causing it. flash - yeah, I went through the rota many times; XP kept changing its error messages each time. The XP installation disc itself crashes into blue screen gibberish, including...

A friend has an older Dell desktop that she rarely uses but completely doesn't understand. It came with XPsp2, but somewhere around the recent sp3 download, it acquired a bad case of Blue Screen of Death . :shock: In fiddling with XP, a variety of 'not found' error messages showed up; the XP system ...

That DW ranking seems to be based on the particular distro's description page hits, not downloads or user reviews, etc You must understand distros are in competion with each other, not so much with tinylimp. (I've often wondered if the sheer number of flavors doesn't put off new users. And that's wh...

Six months ago, Macpup wasn't even on the Top 100; averaging the last three months, it's ranked 96th; for the last month, Macpup rates a respectable 35; for this week its ranked 6th. (theme from Rocky ... :o :D ) btw, it wouldn't hurt to update the DW description on the Macpup page (what the hit cou...

Lobster- yeah, that's a very interesting article! A point somewhat lost in the comments is that content does not need to pass through Opera's own servers... Opera only uses a proxy when a direct connection is not possible through UPnP. I've noticed that we've already had a couple of brushfire cyberw...

I'm intrigued with Opera's new Unite vision, and the ability to run it off a LiveCD would seem to answer some of the security questions. There is an interesting mission statement over at Opera, it says in part: Our computers are only dumb terminals connected to other computers (meaning servers) owne...

Ubuntu has been Distrowatch's #1 topdog for so long... if I did my math right :roll: DW Data (last 7 days_: Ubuntu 1622 MacPup 679 Puppy 595 Teenpup 361 ----------------- 1635 :D This litter is now BOB! ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I do have a Q too. Most distros show ...

Its nice that Distrowatch now shows a current logo for Puppy, as trial users may choose to download a distro on nothing more than appealing appearances. Mint, for example... :? However, here is the current description shown for Puppy: Yes, Puppy Linux is yet another Linux distribution. What's differ...

Don't they say being in Google's Top Ten (or Distrowatch) makes all the diff? :wink: Puppy as a netbook OS was just very positively reviewed by TR's guru Jack Wallen: 10 solid Linux distributions for your netbook http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/10things/?p=729 Before you swell with pride, tho, he...

I happened on this Zoneminder software, which seems to be available for several other linux distros: http://www.zoneminder.com/downloads.html Just wondering if anybody has tried this out with Puppy- (which'd be another rejuvenator for all those pre-XP obsolete laptops). It's described as needing V4L...

This is truly the 'global-est' group I know... again Congrats guys!

Just wanted to congrat everybody here... Puppy is now #9 on both 6 & 1 month ratings at Distrowatch... that's above MEPIS, well above Kubuntu, Gentoo, Knoppix, RedHat, Damn Small, and other long-revered marques... http://distrowatch.com/index.php?dataspan=4 Whose been doing something right? :wink:

Celtx is a free open source media creation tool out of Canada; it is based on Firefox and does a nice job for screenwriting, storyboards, comics, games, podcasts, and collaborative work. Its available for Linux in a number of languages, and a dotpup might just bring two creative families together- ...

Hi All- just fyi- I've been playing around with this old Compaq 1700 series laptop; tried several distros... its happiest with Puppy4 and Mandriva08 w/xfce. U, Ku, & Xu buntus had severe loading & ACPI errors; suse11 wouldn't let go even when the Power Off button was used. Each distro had th...

H- brilliant! :D 1. Puppy 4.0 seamonkey about 85 megs Started from from the distrowatch link on http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=puppy the http://www.puppylinux.com/ page wouldn't come up; I nosed around & found a page here with the last 'logo - dogface with a flower, sorry, didn't ...

Hi- I've downloaded Puppy several times over the versions without any problems. I tried Friday from the distrowatch link, which 404'd or took me to a wiki link, but eventually I got what seemed to be a download going via Firefox. I had several other ISOs in that same session- they all burned fine, b...

non-intuitively, all this seems to be moving Puppy up the charts there... if you set the data span to 7 days, Puppy is ranked #13

wasn't Distrowatch's motto 'Put the fun back in computing'?
