Getting Gnome to work with Puppy is no small feat, and I've always liked the look of the Mint desktop. Now the community has an OS with Mint looks and Puppy speed; Great work!

with the terminal problem, maybe try LXTerminal and see how you like it.

Hi Tman !

I'm glad Gnome to be successful! Very Happy

It's very encouraging!

I just finished the latest version of MATE for slacko, I find it more stable, all applets working. I can do without the Chinese calendar now Mr. Green

Mate? still mint linux ! Very Happy

I think replacing Gnome 2.32 by Mate.

Salut, Jejy69.

Congratulations on making your Gnome Puppy available!

I'm not personally a fan of sizeable environments, and I will continue to focus on the innerds of Puppy and on smaller window managers rather than on the ones that present a more flashy -- and perhaps less flexible -- exterior.

However, human nature being what it is, your Puppy may be exactly what some users need to consider Puppy as a serious competitor to the most popular Linuxes out there, like Mint and Ubuntu. Just proving that it is possible to combine Gnome and Puppy should garner attention.

Bonne continuation ! Very Happy

Bonjour Musher0 !

Yes, you're right, community is attracted more minimalist side, while I go the other way. Laughing

But that may be useful for new users, who come from big distributions like Ubuntu, and can thus allow a smoother transition to Puppy.
We must admit, at first JWM is a bit hard to understand, when you have habits with Gnome.

Have a nice day! Very Happy

Adding a mirror to download! Wink

For the next release, I prepared gnome-session-fallback. You'll be able to use Video drivers, without Gnome-shell which doesn't work for the time being.
I'll add the "Computer" and trash directories too.

When is the next release due?

The next release ? it might take a little longer than expected, I'm trying 3.0.2 version of Gnome.
Version 3.2 appears to contain more bugs, and moreover, it can not run gnome-shell on Puppy, with hundreds of obscure messages
