Could those who are interested in a chat client give this one a try please. There will be an Xchat-gnome on the menu, but you can also enter xchat in a terminal. Thanks.

And thanks don570, that is good information to have.

tried xchat
click on IRC and connect
and then type in /join #puppylinux
otherwise you get stuck in the ubuntu channel
When I clicked on channels initially it crashed
but the above worked and I got through . . .

No. Very strangely (considering IRC is the simplest format) Ayttm works with a variety of IM clients not just IRC - Xchat only works with IRC.
The problem is people clicking on chat can chat instantly but not click on links (that crashes ayttm) The simplest solution is linking the chat icon to an online chat URL eg. http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=puppylinux or
https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=puppylinux

Thank you Lobster. Could people try this pet of Ayttm 0.6.2. It is the Ubuntu version and I am thinking/hoping that perhaps it would be more stable than the current one.
You can install it right over the current one and if it is the code in the program that is the problem maybe it will be better behaved.
I appreciate this help as I have never been a chatter, so I have no accounts or anything. Thanks.

Compiz works in luci-233 |

Compiz works in luci-233!
I followed the steps outlined in this thread to make it work:
Compiz-Fusion for Puppy 4.0
I am sure 01micko or Iguleder can come out with an easy way to install it. One thing for sure is it only works with Xfce. I am using O1micko's Xfce beta pet.
Cheers.
Note:
I will upload the version of Compiz that I am using when I get back from work.
Also, cairo-dock works. Will upload that one too.

Wow. No, I don't have those anywhere else. That is usually a very reliable server. Has this been going on longer than a day or so?

Since I did a manual frugal install and deleted the iso before I burned a cd, I'm downloading 233 again right now. Running right along at between 150-170 KB/s.......never had a problem from that server here.
Seems a lot faster than Ibiblio........
