Lobster has been promoting Parm

http://puppylinux.org/wikka/PARM

Apparently there IS a functioning Russian Puppy forked to Arm architecture, and Barry is working on the Raspberry version....

Iguleder has a 'Puppy'/linux build system that is forkable to other architectures also

That's about as close as it gets, atm......AFAIK

PARM looks awesome! Neat conceptual artwork.

They say they will offer a case down the road but they don't have any accessories listed yet.

The "B" model looks the most versatile.

Displays may be composite or HDMI (VGA through an outboard adapter).

Boot is from SD card and operation from a USB stick.

Keyboard, mouse, wifi, etc. all from the two USB ports (or via an outboard hub connected to them).

Exciting possibilities!

What about the Raspy Puppy for a name??

Does spell checking work for Exprimo's version of Geany?
It's a plugin.

I'm not at my home computer and I saw this thread
and the guy uses spell checking in Geany. I made various
spell checking packages for abispell so Geany could
be used like a work processor.

Hi Pemasu,
Regarding fonts in Opera web browser - reading a post by forum member Marv in the Salki thread typing opera:config in the opera address bar will display a settings page then going to Fonts > and enable Prefer Fontconfig Settings makes Opera fonts look much better with the default Exprimo /etc/fonts directory.

Smallish Application for testing possible inclusion in Exprimo? - RedshiftGUI:

Stu90. Thanks of your info. I will deposit the Opera font recommendation.
Redshiftgui seems nice. I will try to compile it in dpup.
Geany plugins. There does not seem to be any plugins enabled. I tested Geany in Polarpup and there is word spell check plugin and it works. I need to consider Geany update so that spell checking has been enabled.

Another cool light weight application i been testing today on Exprimo with Youtube is movgrab a command line video downloader - more info and command on how to use here:
http://www.webupd8.org/2012/02/movgrab-command-line-video-downloader.html

I have used it with parcellite clipboard manager - to play video links straight away with out downloading them fully first or the need to keep any/multiple browser tabs open.

Add movgrab to parcellite actions - Right click parcellite tray icon > Preference > Actions - Add
In the Action column call it - Play Video
On the same line in the Command column paste - movgrab -o - "%s" | mplayer -

To play videos: Hight light video links or right click copy link in your web browser so the are saved to parcellite - then left click parcellite tray icon left click video link and press key combination Ctrl - Alt - A ( this key combo can be changed in preferences) and click Play Video

You2pup has been on and off application due to changing database parsing APIs. I include it when it works and then I take it off when it does not.

Redshift gui needs libiup.so for compiling which evaded my quick searching. But the binary works in exprimo just fine. Nice tool to play when you have tired eyes.
I stripped dust of it and now it is smaller package. Also the menu entry has been fixed.

I compiled geany with default preferences...so it has support for usual geany features and also plugin support. The spellcheck plugin is included in geany pet. The geany-plugins pet has spellcheck also but it has all the plugins included that geany site offered. I didnt hunt any extra more or less non official plugins...but if someone knows them...please post feedback.

You need to install from repo libenchant and libhunspell also to get spell checking to work. It wont initialize otherwise.
