Well, I just finished making this little puplet. It's meant to be slim, clean, and minimalistic.

Download it here or at the site, and tell me what you think Smile

I downloaded and burn a copy. It works okay and it is really black. I think openbox must be dead, because it is always black on black and even more black. When I learn how to use it better, it just mind grow on me.

How do you add items to the menu? I am learning and I understand how to use the terminial to run some programs. I am running Iron right now writing this and the first was with Firefox 4.. I want to add PupApps to the menu.

Hi sheepy, I went o have a look at the this puppy but my Web of Trust addon rates this site at "Dodgy" (sorry) due to
"This subdomain inherits the reputation of freevar.com."
I must admit I am a little wary of downloading from such a host.
Just thought you should know
Cheers

Confirmed:

The download link at Softpedia is a redirect back to the download page on your web site sheepy.

No criticism but words for Linux distros seems to use words in surprising ways. When I saw Slimpup on DW then I thought that cool finally somebody being as slim as Slitaz around 30MB or so. Smile

But to your defense comes Knoppix that some Debian guys saw as a Micro system due to it fitted a CD some 700MB. to them that was a Micro distro.

Lightweighted is another word when they see an Ubuntu having 900MB as lightweighted.

Another defence. TCL seems small seeing it as 11MB but if you add what is in Puppy having some 128MB or so then TCL as one user told me will end up around 180MB so same or more than the standard Puppy have.

So programs do take space.

That is why I have fantasies about easy to use sfs loaders that one can reliably use without messing up the pupsavefile or to find ways to work without a pupsave file.
People have told me that most likely one can set puppy up as one like it and then do a remaster or iso and then boot that one and one need no pupsave file at all. One have already everything set from get go.

Then if one need a program that one did not want to include in the "slim" personal take then one use the sfs loader and that keep the distro slim forever. Modular and no pupsave that grow out of available space either.

But I know too little on how things works and have not dared to do an iso or remix yet.
