I'm missing this distro a lot. I hope there will be some developments soon. This is the one of the best distro so far. The last Firefox supported is around 47 and I cannot do a lot with it these days. I'm not good in programming but I would love to help as well so we can continue some developments of this distro.

My Mum told me she'd had enough of Windows 10 on her laptop (an HP 635 from 2011), and could I put Linux on it?

It's a long story as to how I managed it (this afternoon and evening, after Christmas dinner too), but anyway, thanks to Macpup 550 and the Frisbee configuration manager I'm posting from it now. It succeeded in connecting to the Internet where two Ubuntu-based distros failed.

I also managed to save Mum's photos from her Windows partition to a pendrive.

Merry Christmas everyone!

[EDIT: I've since swapped it for a more up to date distro, X-Slacko 4.3.]

It's hard to tell from the website when this pup was last updated. A release history would be nice. I'm guessing the last version was in 2015.
