Here's a neat programing language that I have no time what so ever to learn and won't be a part of 2.14X, But I figured maybe someone was bored and might want to play around with it, its called GNU Smalltalk, Its faster than python they say.
here's a quote"The Smalltalk programming language is an object oriented programming language. This means, for one thing, that when programming you are thinking of not only the data that an object contains, but also of the operations available on that object. The object's data representation capabilities and the operations available on the object are “inseparable”; the set of things that you can do with an object is defined precisely by the set of operations, which Smalltalk calls methods, that are available for that object: each object belongs to a class (a datatype and the set of functions that operate on it) or, better, it is an instance of that class. You cannot even examine the contents of an object from the outside—to an outsider, the object is a black box that has some state and some operations available, but that's all you know: when you want to perform an operation on an object, you can only send it a message, and the object picks up the method that corresponds to that message. "

The User Guide is located at http://www.gnu.org/software/smalltalk/manual/gst.html

and the homepage ishttp://smalltalk.gnu.org/

have fun

If you want the latest gtkhash which we don't use in 2.14X, when changed a long time ago to Ghasher the pet can be downloaded at http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=46253
I hacked the sources so that it now can be expanded.

Hello

!

Downloaded, and running it now, seems snappier than ever Smile

.

Haven't done any exhaustive testing yet, but what I tried, just worked - as I've come to expect of a 214X release Smile

.

Weren't really meaning to push anything by asking for a new release a week or some ago - just felt that I should update my main 214X installation (which has been RC5 for some considerable time, - been testing out all of the top-series, of course, but just never got 'round to migrating).
Anyway, I'm fully confident that I can migrate my production 214X to top9 successfully (will take a day or so, all programs and scripts considered).

Ta, for this new release Smile

Been busy but I did give Top 9 a quick run live pfix=ram on my main Athlon XP box.Everything I checked was working and looking good.

Hi Ttuuxxx, haven't really been keeping up on Classic Pup due to wireless compatability issues. But, did do a quick test this afternoon. Using Firefox, went to http://www.insideline.com and experienced crash of Classic Pup while running in livemode. Tried going to same site after startx and it duplicates problem. Thanks, Rob
P.S. Thanks for including IX Quick. I've been using it for a while on my work computer, which runs Windows XP. If you are running Windows, using Comodo Dragon browser with IX Quick is probably the best combo.
