Been using your Gnome 2.32 a lot for scanning negatives and photo editing and even that drops wireless from time to time. I wonder if it is the same issue with both versions? . Mate does look good and I prefer the simple menu to the more involved mint one. I can see this becoming the default desktop for Puppy Linux in the future as most old hardware should now be able to handle it.Jejy69 wrote:Yes, I need to adjust a lot of things ...
Thanks ! Yahoo !have now made a video on your pup, i hope there is more to come...nice
more to come ? Sure !I'll see that, thank you.Here's another good tool for changing the menu. Add, remove and it's easy to change the category.

thanksActually, the properties of mate are more like coffee (in fact, instead of the traditional way you can boil the yerba mate, pour it in a cup and drink it just like coffee, but in this case the drink is called 'mate cocido' or just 'cocido', which means 'boiled mate' or 'boiled'). It's usually drunk bitter, with hot water and no sugar, although some people do add sugar, even prepare it with hot milk instead of water at times. Often people add medicinal plants. In the south of Brasil, especially Rio Grande do Sul, it's called 'chimarrão', and in Paraguay people also prepare it with very cold water or some cold fruit juice instead of hot water, in this case the drink is called 'tereré' and is very popular in summer. Although you can drink it alone, mate is usually a social drink, groups of friends gather in circles to drink it while they talk (the same applies to 'tereré', not for 'cocido' though). They share the same pot (which is also called mate, or 'guampa' when it is made of a horn, this last one is more popular for 'tereré') to drink, they don't use individual cups or the like, and they use a special metallic tube called 'bombilla' to drink mate (yes, they share the same bombilla, tooJejy69 wrote: I would have tasted this famous 'tea' ... It should not be bad ...
). When you are given some mate, you should not say 'thank you', not yet! You only say thank you when you had enough mate and don't want to drink anymore. Also, you should not stir the mate with the bombilla, you can stir 'cocido' with a spoon, but mate is never stirred. If you travel to Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay or Rio Grande do Sul you will see people drinking mate daily, at home, at school, at work, in the parks, especially in winter, but also in summer early in the morning. As someone said, when a friend comes to your house their first phrase is '¡Hola!' and their second phrase is '¿Unos mates?' (Fancy some mate?) 
I added your puplets to the list of puplets that can be set to Spanish with langpack_es. The Hispan like to test Linux systems.Jejy69 wrote:It would be great, more Puppy users !

Also the integration with the pup menu appears to be flawless. This is the best gnome implementation that I've seen in puppy.I feel that I reach my goalYour Mate desktop is fantastic using the precise base. Very Happy Also the integration with the pup menu appears to be flawless. This is the best gnome implementation that I've seen in puppy.
It's working great with my usual applications.
The only problem that I've noted so far is that my Logitech receiver will not connect to the mouse until it is unplugged and replugged. This is probably a problem with the kernel as I've experience this problem with other pups.
. I hope your issue'll be fixed in the next release of Precise.Looking forward to your future releases. Can we expect a MATE_desktop.sfs that may work with other pups such as Slacko or just updated iso as precise is updated?Jejy69 wrote: I feel that I reach my goal
Now, I wait an update for others mate applications like the terminal, and a Precise updated.
Thanks to try all !
