[GarySmith]

Yes, an inexpensive Christmas gift will work well. I like the idea and on a DVD mailable too.

Nice work with this forum post of ideas.

Dear benali72:

On Thu 28 Aug 2008, 10:54 in this same thread you asked us:

What do you do to promote Puppy?

My answer is
I try to understand how Puppies work and how to take advantage of all their positive features.
I believe that if I master their use I will be able to promote them more efficiently.
That’s not an easy task for those of us with little knowledge about information technology.
That is why following an advice you conveyed on that same post:

* Help build the value of the Puppy community by participating in Puppy's forums

I have done what is described in this thread

I think the results of this survey can be useful not only for me but also for many other potentially interested in Puppy.

Best regards.

Hi !
I am promoting Puppy Linux on forums when someone is stuck while installing a too fat ISO on a computosaur or when they are looking for an alternative to a disused version of windoze

The biggest problem is coming from the basic language used on the official distro, but if the user is not fluent in English, fortunately, in France we have Toutou Linux, very well translated into French.
All versions are not available, but it is anyway a perfect help.
Looking for info, I have discovered a version for schools : Toutou Edux, based on 4.3.1.
I shall promote Toutou Edux to fight the recent contract between the French Ministry of Education with ......... micro$oft, perfect for creating future slaves with windoze

The French slogan is : n'achetez pas un nouvel ordinateur, téléchargez en un meilleur ! = do not buy a new computer, download a better one !

Long live Puppy !!!

Hello ,

I am promoting puppy in various ways.

Giving to my colleagues, and recommending them to my friends. Also making blog posts on Puppy Linux. I am not that good in bash but I am contributing in its development little by little. I am good in web development so I was contributing to puppylinux.com made some SEO enhancements (more popularity ) . I will do some design enhancements if I could get some inputs from other developers of Puppy Linux

I have few more ideas such as posting a article on medium.https://medium.com/. This OS has given a new life to my old computer. I will not let puppy Linux disappear ! I was thinking making a new forum however too many forums is probably not a good idea as people who could help in different topics will be scattered on different forums and new users will not be able to get proper help.

Many thanks, abhishek-kumar.

We need more Puppy-ists like you !

Bye for now.

As European teams, promote Puppy outside, not inside. These videos are created by Puppy members, not by external professional experts.
And with our Puppy tools from the menu. Teams are members who meet somewhere, in hungaria, they have an office, in Italia they have a Workshop and show Puppy Linux in international exhibitions.
France ? Bah.. still frozen... A Champion emigrates first to Shane, then USA to share his dynamism, it was to much for us, petits mangeurs de grenouilles.
Facebook quelle honte, disent-ils (FaceBook, shame, shame on you, sing our french Toutou Linux VIPs)

Hello,
Well, although I believe my Puppy Linux Users Group with 2500 or so members worldwide on Facebook has done a lot to promote Puppy, (A lot more than 3 non "social media" websites I created ever could), I think MultiPup has been the most useful thing I ever did.
Not every puppy is right for every situation or equipment.
But the ability to carry a selection of them and determine which one works best on the spot is phenomenal...
That's why I made that s#%t!!!
Its current maintainers/developers have expanded it to USB as well.
Anyhow, take off your tinfoil hats and join the Facebook group!!
I could use some knowledgeable heads. Not that we don't already have some of the best. But the more the merrier. Especially if you are multilingual, because I'm not.....
Our Group represents people from every corner of the planet.
Yes, OUR Group...
Just look at who the administrator of the Puppy Linux Users Group on this forum is.....

#Edit....
So apparently now there is no Puppy Linux Users Group on this Forum...
But apparently I am the administrator of the Puppy Linux Documentation Project.
(Ironically the name of one of the very unsuccessful websites I started.)
Even though I named the Facebook group The Puppy Linux users group because I was the administrator of that page....
So what's up guys???

@puppyluvr: What is multipup? What puppies does it have? I just use grub4dos to have many puppies and try new ones.

In hungaria they teach Puppy Linux , here a classroom.
Women are coming to our Puppy to give a little help to our seniors.

Somehow I think if Pups ever start getting STEAM to fully work in their OS, they will no longer be pups because of sheer size alone from installing all the dependencies to get STEAM to run.

So it is a catch22 situation here. Is or are pups remaining small, fast, lightweight, uber efficeint? Or are they going to become lumbering beasts like many of the various Linux distros out there that can run STEAM no problems but, again, are fat as a hog.

[Mike Walsh]

I guess, if you want to keep Pup lean'n'mean, yet still be able to attract those who want to be able to play up-to-the-minute games, it would need to be achieved by the use of very large SFS files.....which would include all the necessary dependencies, built-in.

That's the only way I can see round that one; making use of one of Pup's primary accessibility features.

LazY, where are you? This is right up your alley.....

[drunkjedi]

I already had "War Thunder" game installed in fatdog.
It's website provides simple run program which downloads game data (expanded occupies 3-4 Gb). No dependencies needed.
The game runs fine.

I don't have a good graphics card yet.
So ran in lowest graphics settings, but after completing tutorial and few battles got frustrated of blocked graphics that my onboard graphics card could manage.


Anyway, if more game companies release games which would install and run natively like that, Puppy will fly.
No wine or steam....


Why do I think puppy is best for gaming if games are released for linux natively?

Because,

I will get some more RAM plus good graphics card.

I will make an sfs of that game and load it in RAM.
Just like I load my Fatdog fully in RAM.

It would give me better performance than any SSD out there.

I am gonna try that, later though.

[drunkjedi]

The game I play on mostly and am a moderator on, 'World of Tanks' is not available for linux, natively.

People do play it through wine/steam, though.

Ohh and I got Discord app running (Teamspeak like app, only It's free) in Fatdog for my clan/team/platoons voice comms or text chats.

[babule]

Ok I cant understand exactly.I m new in linux.Maybe the solusion to large sfs is something like the ubuntu app-store.

Wrong!!!!!

The games section of this forum is full of games.
Puppy Package Manger (PPM) has games.

3D games depends on the game and if you got everything needed for the game.
So, yes, there can be issues, but it is not Puppy but the game package not being specifically made for Puppy.

There are different versions of Linux. Puppy is a Linux version. The program package has to be compiled for a specific Linux version.

Puppy uses the pet package system, but can also use deb and RPM packages made for other Linux versions. Those packages may or may not have everything needed for Puppy.

Puppy Package Manger (PPM) is the best place to get programs, because it knows how to handle this stuff from other Linux versions repositories.
Read the help in the PPM.
