Which Puppy can run my toaster?
Motherboard: 915P-ICH6
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
Ram Memory: 512mb
It has ran slacko 6.x, puppy arcade 11, Lucid, and Tahrpup 6.0.5 very well.
Could someone list every puppy this toaster can run?
Im needing a new one.

Hi lolo69.
Your choice, really.
There is literally a thousand Pups to choose from, but here are a few that I have run
on an equipment similar to yours -- and liked:
Dejan's DPup-4.87 -- another great classic
Slim 6 -- a slimmer Slacko 5.99
Iguleder's librePup -- based on the Trisquel distro, has no proprietary apps at all.
Moat's ChloePup R27 -- a "de luxe Pup", with many fonts and backgrounds.
They are all available at ally's Puppy section / repository on archive.net.
(And we should have no end of thanks to ally for his patience and organization skills!)
Have fun!

Im not saying it's bad but i want something... a little heavier than that.
You don't need any new puppys as they ALL mostly operate the same way. What you need to do , is to change your way of operating puppy to avoid the mess you got yourself into previously. For a new user the recommended, easiest, safe way to operate any puppy is to do a frugal install and use a savefile or savefolder to save all your settings, etc. This savefile/folder needs to be backed up so you can have a fall back if something goes wrong that you can't fix. A frugal install has the added advantage that the base sfs (the original operating system) is read-only and always stays the same so you can't mess it up.lolo69 wrote:http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=112546phat7 wrote:This makes 4 that ran very well.

Here is a list of the Dpup's version, Does anyone which has better compatibility with Debian packages?
I used slacko and i don't want to use something "slimmer" than that.Slim 6 -- a slimmer Slacko 5.99
Thanks for answer.But the real reason of searching new puppies id that the ones i have used i have had problems with wine, python, x, and many others. So im looking for something with more... compatibility? i think so.nic007 wrote:You don't need any new puppys as they ALL mostly operate the same way.

I'll be surprised if you find another Puppy with "better compatibility features" than Tahr 6.0.5. Been running Wine for years so that shouldn't be a problem (not all windows programs run in Wine though).lolo69 wrote:Thanks for answer.But the real reason of searching new puppies id that the ones i have used i have had problems with wine, python, x, and many others.

You might not ever be happy with Puppy. You want "compatibility" but the fact is that Puppy does some things differently from mainstream distros and you either accept that and deal with it, or you don't.
As someone who wants compatibility and a lot of stuff built-in as standard equipment, you'd be much better off with a mainstream distro. The problem -- as I'm sure you're aware -- is that there's no mainstream distro that will give you the speed of a Puppy in that measly 512 MB of RAM. You're asking for the impossible.
If you had at least 1 GB of RAM I could happily recommend you try LXLE, a Lubuntu derivative that runs very nicely for me on a old P4 system and has full Ubuntu compatibility.
