You really need to get the message out that you need to be notified of developments - by developers!

We [I hope I voice the community support?] don't expect the burden to fall on guys like yourselves

Grant/smokey01, thanks for your efforts - another 5 star performer

Aitch

Aitch I do it for pure pleasure and enjoyment.

As it is said: If it feels good, do it, if not, stop.

I usually keep a close eye on developments and test most of them.

CatDude, russoodle and I speak, via Psip, on a daily basis so the information flow is pretty good.

Thanks for your kind words.

@Aitch I'll stop doing it when I can't be bothered any more, although help with Wiki would be good. Devs are busy dev-ing which is fair enough

@Smokey there is cross over with PupHelp 101 and the wiki too - I wonder if there'd be some way of sharing/import info between the two?

@Henry RacyNOP is now on ; -) if you see anything else missing please add it - thats what wiki is all about. You can get a login from Raffy

darkcity PH101 is designed for offline use.

Hey Aitch and Community,

I thought it would be a good idea to have a list of Puppies that could utilize multi-core processors, since that's the direction computers are going in.

64bit:

Fatdog64

Lighthouse64

32bit:

Racy

Exprimo

Saluki

Well, that should get things started... I will update this post if folks will p.m. me notice of any appropriate Puppies that will utilize multi-core processors. Please include a link in your p.m. I'll check it nightly... unless no one thinks it's worth while

Darkcity,

Hey, thanks. I'm glad someone thought it was a good idea. I will look into maintaining a Wiki page. The truth is, so many people have helped me on the Puppy forums, I would love to do something to give back to our little community (must be the Jesus in me).

You guys are all so much better at stuff than I am, I feel a little unworthy, but I will definitely look into a wiki. It would be a real privilege to be helpful to other Puppy people

Thanks again.

Eathray

I've update the 'Puppy Versions Under Development' page:

Crusty Lobster has introduced all the various Nops up through QuirkyNop-1.2 on his wikka page at
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/NOP

To this should be added additional subsequent Nops by gray:

WaryNop-5.1.1 http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=66015

RacyNop-5.2.2 r1 http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=73728

SalukiNop-023r1 http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=80859

All of the above can be downloaded from:
http://download.tuxfamily.org/nop

All use Xfce and Thunar.

The best is a hybrid by ozsouth, based on gray's RacyNop, but which avoids the drive icon management problems of unionfs, etc. Uses kernel Linux. 3.0.25 It's all I use!

It's RacyNop-5.3.2 Download it here:

EDIT: Hozzászólás témája: NOP2012 - Puppy Xfce alattHere's a Hungarian Nop that I'm unfamiliar with. Who knows how many more are out there.

http://puppylinux.hu/phpbb3/viewtopic.p ... .iso#p8381

thanks, will add when I get a mo

Yes.
the hungarian puplet name: Kalóz-NOP. by english about pirate-NOP.
The puplet based in Jejy69 puplet, kernel 3.11, original forumthreed:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=80010.
There are minor changes, described in
http://puppylinux.hu/phpbb3/viewtopic.p ... bbccb7d16c

3.11 linux kernel is not very well done, therefore it is not very popular in the Kalóz-NOP

Big List
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/PuppyVersion

---The chart for Big List was very helpful. But I think it needs an extra column. Puppies should be marked as PAE and non-PAE.

Many Puppies are now being made as PAE only for people who use Puppy as their main system on new hardware. But many people use Puppy in extra PC / laptops which sometimes still have older chips. I think this would be helpful because some people can't download so fast or have limits. And its better to not download a Puppy and then find out it doesn't work on your machine.

Is their a list with only non-PAE Puppies?

Good Q natgab; Because I`m only interested in developing for the future.

As old hardware dies, the newer Puppies will be the only common Puppies.

see the puplet show here just clicking the blue
a new collection 2015 is being dressed. A Puppy 4.3.1 for surfing outside, with Frisbee, even with a netbook poor RAM. Prototype is named Toutou 4.3.6. Why ? I don't know... Be the first trying it !
Sure, these puppies speak english, their native language.

HI Ive been using puppy since 2009 and absolutely love compiling everything from source which as you know can be quite time consuming.
Now heres the red herring: what in the world does PAE or Non PAE mean?
I once googled it but not a very satisfying return?
SO whats it all about??? something to do with old vs new hardware i assume? I'm sure it goes deeper than that, anyone care to enlighten me , I'm always willing to learn! Thank you in advance Puppy Lovers!

PAE stands for Physical Address Extension. In a nutshell it allows compatible CPUs to address more than 4gb of RAM with a 32bit operating system.

The trouble is that not all CPUs are compatible, and that the function has to be built into the OS kernel. Non-PAE kernels are compatible with all CPUs, whereas PAE kernels are compatible only with CPUs that support that feature.

Big List
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/PuppyVersion

The official list seems out of date since Precise 5.7.1 is from 2013. Surely at least one of either April or Tahrpup must be official. I will update the official list if I can get conformation that one or both of these are official.

An important question missing from the list is: What is the desktop environment?
There is a piece of software that I would like to get but it runs only in KDE. To run it in a different desktop environment would involve a whole lot of checking of dependencies which I want to avoid.

So my question here is: which puppy ootb has the KDE desktop environment?

B.K. Johnson
tahrpup-6.0.2 PAE, slacko-5.7, frugal install, pupsave file, multi OS flashdrive, SYSLINUX boot, CPU-Dual E2140, 4GB RAM

Puppies from France See and appreciate here by a click these french Puppies.
French technicians make the Puplette for french speaking people, but the english remains the original language.
There are not copies (only translation) but a large part is artist relook (ToOppy would be the Special one, with its 2PDE desktop).
Nota : if you studied le français at school, keep them in french, you will do such a progress by using them
As i do using spanish or english speaking ones, Spanish by choice, English because nothing else

Hi B.K. Johnson, from my experience, Lighthouse Puppy has KDE. You will need the version with mariner. I have only tried LHP 6.02 extensively and my knowledge of the 64-bit edition is very limited.
