Just tried out the latest offering from these Latvian linuxers and boy it is good ! Only one slight problem, I couldn't get a uk keyboard which is a shame 'cos I really like this distro. Comes with Enlightment and Fvwm . ftp://austrumi.ru.lv/austrumi-2.8.5.iso

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). |

I've had the same problem.

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.

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.

Thanks, alphadog. Interesting reading. But where to find the proper keyboard map in the slackware repos and then add it to the distro? BFN. _________________ "Logical entities must not be multiplied needlessly." / "Il ne faut pas multiplier les êtres logiques inutilement." (Ockham) |

In Slackware, I do:
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. musher0 _________________ "Logical entities must not be multiplied needlessly." / "Il ne faut pas multiplier les êtres logiques inutilement." (Ockham) |

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

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). _________________ Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit. |

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; http://mex.exton.net/ _________________ Stone Pentium IV (2.4 GHz), 2 GB of RAM, 160 GB hard drive running Puppy Slacko 5.7, Puppy 4.20 Turbo, Puppy Legacy OS2 LTS and Puppy Precise 5.71 Retro. |
