Dear users,
I have been using puppy for about 2 weeks. Thank you very much
for your feedback. I appreciate. Since 32bit hardware is moving
out of the market as brand new multicore technology 64bit is emerging
I was wondering whether or not you are thinking of some x86_64 isos
with both UP and SMP kernels.
You may wonder why should someone want to install puppy in such
huge machines since puppy is mostly used to bring old 32-128MB
PCs into life. There are several reasons for that.
1) its minimal size,
2) its easy of installation
3) the wonderful convenience of setting up hard stuff like
wireless networks e.t.c which make you hate other distros/OS
like Gentoo/FreeBSD.
4) I have benchmarked some of my sparse linear solvers and I was
suprised to see that they run until 5% faster on puppy than on anyother
Linux Distro including the highly tweaked Gentoo with highly tuned
ck-sources for performance.
Why shouldn't we have all of that goodies in 64bit and SMPs ?
The developers should of course fix the SATA full hard drive install
since most of the new desktops/laptops come out with SATA hard-drives.
Any ideas, comments, suggestions?
Thank you all!
Simeon.
What about installing puppy on x86_64 bit systems
What works, and doesn't, for you. Be specific, and please include Puppy version.
