Hey,
I am now building my new Puppy.
What's so special about it???
This will include:
Average Person's Programs........
Firefox - A very popular lightweight, fast browser. (firefox.com)
Flash 9 - Flash plugin. (adobe.com)
GAIM - A multi-IM. Can access Yahoo, MSN, AIM, and more! (Includes IRC.)
Torsmo - System info on your desktop. (torsmo.sourceforge.net)
AND MORE...
USES PUPPY 2.14 CORE! This core includes a lot of things....
And best of all, IT'S MULTI USER TOO!
That means better security!
Current progress:
(BOLD means working on. In () tells progress.)
Will be updated every so often.

A couple help needed in:

GAIM is know known as Pidgin (www.pidgin.im). Pidgin 2.0 (GAIM 2.0) will be released this week hopefully. Btw, good work, if you get multiuser support working flawlessly you rock, and I didn't think it had anything to do with the kernel.
If your going to recompile the kernel how about applying the open mosix patch and really unleash the puppy!
OH YES !!! OPENMOSIX !!!
this is the real future of community programming ! I had always hope this could be applied to puppy !!!
We would have the very best community far beyond all others !
"The only programmers really working altogether, even their computers compute altogethers !"
Barry, please, is this possible ? We could build a PUPPY CLUSTER !!
Best regards,
Laurent.
