Austrumi was my first Linux distro, because I could download it on dialup (~65 MB). Always a pleasure to check the latest version (265 MB).

Austrumi is also a nice distro, if you can figure out how to get the menus in English (the distro comes from Latvia).
taken from "/austrumi/message.msg" (or press F1 if booting from CD):
Code:
lang_XX where XX - locale (el, en, es, fr, hu, it, lv, ltg, pt_br, ru, uk)
here it is in my grub4dos menu.lst:
Code:
title Austrumi
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /austrumi/austrumi.lst

One thing to watch with Austrumi (and which I've been caught out by) is that "uk" in the language selector doesn't mean British English; it means Ukrainian.

Simplicity vs Puppyland for new users |
|
Also tried Simplicity 14.1. My download came as a '...141beta.iso'. Its a nice distro. But, PhatSlacko is a better match for, both, features and LAN integrations; especially for new Windows tire-kickers looking for a simple OOTB Linux alternative. At least so, at this point.
I Agree with the earlier commenter of a Puppyland distro(s) which matches against Simplicity.

I have been switching between Ubuntu, Mint, Suse (COuldn't install), Mandriva 13, I think (Couldn't install) till I tried Puppy Linux. I couldn't install Lupu yet, either. Now I am using older Navigatrix, a very Linux distro prepared for sailors and navigators like myself.
I finished d/l'ing Lupuplus 5.2.8.6.4.1.4 and Lupu 5.2.8.6 and latest Navigatrix 0.5 few hours ago.
I will let you know how it goes with Lupuplus.
I even tried to install my first Linux OS distro Mandrake 10.1, but the DVD didn't install. That DVD is very sentimental for me for being my first serious Linux try; and since then (12 years ago?) I have been switching between various Linux distros and other OSs.
BUT I have decided to continue using Linux only from 2014 and forth.
Happy new year everybody, and thanks for your great helps and infos and supports . . .
Serdal

Hello, alphadog.
I couldn't agree more: austrumi is one of the best distros around, big or small. And my
problem is similar to yours : I cannot find a French-Canadian keyboard / locale for it.
It's a shame, really; maybe they have limited personnel and need to focus on only a
few languages.
BFN.

Thanks, alphadog. Interesting reading. But where to find the proper keyboard map in the slackware repos and then add it to the distro? BFN.

In Slackware, I do:
Code: | setxkbmap -layout es & |
from my startup script to set keyboard layout.
I can check the list of available layouts in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base and /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst, not sure in that distro...

Hi, GustavoYz.
Yes, that is what I mean:
I believe none of the character maps I need is in the folders you mention.
(cf [French-Canada] and qc [Quebec]).
Do you think it would break anything if I copied the ones from a Puppy?
Thanks in advance.

A package with Xkeyboard data files usually named as
xkeyboard-config-$version-noarch.tgz. (or *.txz in newer versions of Slackware).

Been trying out the latest Slitaz-rolling download. Absolutely amazing distribution. Openbox WM and lots of LXDE components, well-behaved Midori browser. So much in such a small download and very pleasant to use. Of course, you are limited to its package manager, but that works well and has thousands of well-prepared packages in its repo - so when I don't need a distribution with apt-get or similar, Slitaz is a nice. (Still not moving from Puppy Guydog on the main household computer, however - for its overall speed/usability nothing beats Guydog yet - well done Iguleder).

I'm now using MeX - Exton's take on Mint - and I have to say I'm impressed. It's based on Mint 16 (Petra) but with a 64-bit kernel and using the Cinnamon desktop.
It's a bit "cut down" from standard Mint and the ISO is less than 1 GB in size(for example, you have to install your own office suite) but it has the unusual property for a Ubuntu / Debian based distro that you can log in as root and with no password if you want. Nice wallpaper too (though I've changed it to something suitably wintry instead)
Worth a look;
