Ye Olde Puplites |
|
Sc0ttman
Of historical interest only, but I am posting from Puplite2. It's a slim (54mb) but not barebones 2.02 based derivative with the 2.6.16.7 kernel. Just has Dillo as the browser, but I'm running OperaQT static.
Found the iso on the desktop PC's hdd - mainly used with XP (wife & kids), but can't remember where or when I downloaded it.
Running quite nicely on this Armada M700 P450 with 320mb RAM.

My plans for Puplite 6.0 Alpha Subject description: Thank You |

Many thanks to you for your time spend and skills you have learned and pass on to us. Will be glad to try your new release when you get it finished. We are glad you are willing not to let one of the old PUPPIES DIE.

Thanks for the info.. Never seen that one... But now I know! Hmmm... Should I rename my Puplite then? Would anyone care if I didn't bother to rename it? I doubt it... But I don't mind.
l2ulinux, it's my pleasure - I am totally aware that most of the stuff I do is not for 'mainstream' puppy users, and of no interest to most, but I like to put my stuff up here anyway - when I make stuff, it's only a little extra effort to document it, and then share it.

Interesting approach. 2 comments. You may want to choose or offer a rename contest on the new Pupplite6 name.; and , it appears that yo will be offereing kernel selection at boot time, so you may want to make that selection as user-friendly as possible: for example, kernels for "old P2-P3-P4s less than 2GHz", "Any PCs with more than 3.5GB RAM" and "PC built after 2006" assuming you do decide to run with the 3 kernels you've referenced..
Looking forward

I've yet to decide on any final plans for kernel switching, but I was thinking more or less the same as you... List kernels, with description of ideal hardware, and date.
About the name, I will have a think... Maybe "Total Shitzu" lol ...

Hello Iguleder, If you think 4.2.1 (Aprox June 2009) is too old then Legacy's 2.14 (Aprox Feb-March 2007) base must really annoy you. LOL!
Hello sc0ttman, Create what you want to give to the Puppy / Linux community and enjoy the experience of creating it.
While what you make won't suit everyone's hardware. It's sure to suit most.
Imagine if there was only one Puppy version available....
Now you know why there's Derivatives....
Puppy and Linux gives a user choices which Windows and Mac can't....

This jumps out at me:
Quote: | You may want to offer a contest to rename Pupplite 6. |
Allowing users to control developers actions will not be tolerated by the Puppy Linux Community, it suggests that users deserve a seat at the table. I hereby publicly chastise you for suggesting such a thing, it might kill their “Puppy Spirit”.
My apologies to the OP, I couldn't resist the temptation.

Suggestions are welcome... I'm crap at coming up with names..
Puplite will be more 'flexible' than 'light' at first boot than previously..
I have a plan to make the system as light as the user wants:
- I moved a number of startup commands and scripts into /etc/init.d/
- includes AVFS-mount, hotplugging, ROX desktop, Pwireless, filechooser-drives, taskbar apps, etc, etc
- I made a 'startup manager' that lets you choose what programs to load at boot up, will load at first boot
- the ROX desktop will now be enabled by default, with an option at 1st boot to switch to the 'JWM only' desktop instead
- at 1st boot, option to rebuild zdrv containing only the modules required for PC booted
- choose which drives to auto mount at boot
Also, small packages only will be included by default, but larger packages will be easily added through a quickpet rip-off
So, not "Puplite", so much as "Pup-choose-how-light-you-want-to-go"... But that's a crap name, and I welcome suggestions...

Hey sc0ttman -
really looking forward to seeing this one hatch - when you're good and ready.
What about a "Puppy Rescue"-specific spin-off based on your stripped-back v6? You could call it "BSOD" - Bitzer Survival-Operations Disk...
OK so I'm crap at names too
Hex?
PS I don't know how it translates outside of Oz, but a "bitzer" is a mongrel - a dog with bitza this, bitza that. Just another idea from the mongrel nation, sc0ttman.
UPDATES: How about turning the problem on its head? LitePup?
Hmmm - light.... what about "Photon"?
Small, fast, light - Merlin? Peregrin?
Phaedrus? The 'wolf' in Pirsig's "Zen and the Art of [computer systems] Maintenance"
Orac?
HAL?
Dogzilla? (Maybe Shinobar should claim that one)
RoboPup?
Ruffian?
Marvin42?
Eddie?
Howl?
Fetch?
P-6?
Hibernia?
sc0tti?
Nah - I'm still crap. Brain hurts, but fun.

Names:
Uppy - mind you is that taking the P out of Puppy?
Plite - nah that might get you into plight
Pupette - a bit too French for a sc0ttman?
Pup - is small and not yet being used - though it does have negative connotations in US
PupBite or just Bite - you being a ferocious MMA guy
Runt - we may have a user on IRC with this name but I rather like it, nobody expects much from it as it is small and then it surprises everyone . . .
Lpup - yep L for Learner - but then it is El Pup - a bit Spanish?
LOLpup - just seems to make me smile
AlphaPup - never finished but always the Alpha Dog
. . . just some ideas
Puplite - is OK too

Loving the suggestions, I will end up either sticking with Puplite, just for simplicity, but will be ideally choosing a suggestion that takes my fancy! And I'm gonna be using "bitzer" from now on, in everyday speech! I like that phrase... Typical Aussie simplicity.

Puplite 6.0 Alpha Subject description: Sounds Great |

Your new PUPPY bases on the Wary core sounds like a great idea. Will be glad to give it a run when it comes out. That is what makes Puppy so great are the differ ways the programmer can build their own release.

How about...
ScottPup, or ScottiePup, or just Scottie... (does suggest a small size)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Terrier
Or even KiltPup... (suggests a lightweight size... and airy sensation )
