this could be bloated slightly(wiith addition of jdk and an java ide) but what i was think is a version of puppy that has a larger number of languages supported than puppy has right now. languages like c,php,perl, and python

I have suggested it a few times. It is a good idea

This is how to create such a version easily

this will give you an indication of the languages available .. .

I wonder if it is worth using KDE as the window manager as there are some programming tools that work with that?

for php you have to have the runtime.kdevelop is a good tool(will it work outside of kde through some hacking at the source?)

Puppy comes with Perl.

Python is just too big to be included (15MB compressed -- the Puppy sfs is only 67MB).

thanks. i'm starting construction on this. the added packages are about 420 and that's without c or kde. total size ithink will be somewhere around a 550 to 650 MB puppy(big i know).

Try http://mooload.com (although it has a 500 MB limit). If you construct an sfs instead of ISO, then the Puppy files won't be there, and will save you ~80 MB.

i had it almost done yesterday but a power surge came and got rid of all the files(i had everything except kde and the 2.16 core, it was around 800 MB too big to burn onto a standered cd.). it's just too big to be ran in ram with current tech(wait a couple years and it should be fine) and i've have problems uploading to servage mirrors.

sun dosn't make it easy to enclude jdk in a distro... you have to strip most of it out...
