Puppy has a few applications that have calendar/date organizers like Osmo or Notecase but I've taken a particular liking to RedNotebook as a way to organize day-to-day tasks.
The download in PPM for Quirky is not the latest and does not have all the Python dependencies in order to work properly in RU Xerus, so I am providing the latest 1.14 along with the files needed to make it run properly.

RU Xerus64
The Brave Web Browser, which is Chromium based, is working quite well in RU Xerus64. It takes an extra second or two to open up but it seems to work flawlessly once running. Not sure if I like the way it handles tabs (it has a weird scroll over interface) but still it seems more stable than Iron so I'll probably be removing Iron and replacing.
For those that want to try it out and don't want to wait for a new version of RU Xerus, use the Debian/Ubuntu download from here:
https://brave.com/
Also, I'm going to be changing the kernel on the next version. Going to take a few baby steps backwards but for good reasons. It seems to have no negative affect.

After installing your dependencies package I was able to install graphics program as well

/usr/bin/nathiveThanks to Iguleder and the thread listed below, I have the latest version of Chrome working in RU Xerus. A word of caution, it's not properly sandboxed but seems to work quite well.

I'm considering replacing Iron with Chrome in the next release. If someone can get the latest Iron working in RU Xerus, I may change my mind.

Makato recently brought Open Office (now Apache Office) back to my attention. I haven't used it in a while and certainly haven't used the latest. Works very, very well and much faster than Libre.
The only downside that I can see is that there does not seem to be support for .docx documents. Not sure where they've been for about the past 10 years but anyway, it's a solid and fast package.
Should work on RU Xerus and probably on Barry's Quirky Xerus. Version 4.1.3 which is the latest is packaged as a .pet below:

The above link is for Plex Media Server packages for RU Xerus or it should work in Quirky Xerus. You should get 3 icons on your desktop. If for some reason they don't install, the scripts are in /root/my-applications/bin.
1. Launch in background (Plexconnect). Necessary for step 2.
2. Launch webpage (Plexman) console to add media, etc. Also, I recommend changing some of the default options like sharing your server..... No thanks Plex...
3. When ur done streaming, this is a shutdown - Plexkill. (shuts item 1 that will otherwise stay running in the background).
Install the Peasy Firewall Monitor. The 64 bit version is on page 3 or so of the following thread:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 967#945967
Once installed, make sure you choose Build Firewall on Trusted LAN.
So, now you should have Plex running and your LAN open so your Roku can see. Now install the Plex channel on your Roku and start enjoying.

I just updated LibreOffice and turned off the annoying auto-update and auto-backup items by default. I dislike when programs start running in the background to update themselves or whatever.
The only thing that should update itself is Firefox (I think it's important to keep the browser updated) and it appears that OOTB, it will do a small update to itself.
Doing a final install and test. New upload coming very soon....
Quirky RU Xerus 3.28 now uploaded and available. Read page 1.

I've decided to dump Firefox. The latest sound fiasco has been enough for me to rethink this. Those with the most recent RU Xerus64 may notice that there are some sound issues. This was because of an additional install in order to get Firefox sound to work but unfortunately, it created issues elsewhere. So Firefox is once again, dead to me as it was once before.
However, RU Xerus64 has the latest Seamonkey and I am adding the latest Palemoon, which are both Firefox or at least Mozilla derivatives.
Also, the latest Iron for those that want the Chromium type browser, which is my favorite of them all.
Update should be coming this weekend.

Hi Don570:
I'm so glad to hear that!! BTW, I just added to my personal RU Xerus64 Unetbootin to the desktop along with Mupen64 and Flash Install. Flash Install is different from the other Flash Installer by who?? Shinobar? I didn't make it and I'm not sure who did but it works quite well and links never stop working for it.
I thought that I would be uploading the new version this weekend but not sure if I'll be getting back into WoofQ in order to remove Firefox and add Palemoon.
Anyway, thanks for the continued input.

Just a few quick notes:
Seamonkey 2.46 has been acting up on me a little so curious to see if anyone else using RU Xerus or Quirky Xerus are seeing any problems.
Been using Iron as defalult, now and still pretty happy with that....
Recently, I found the need to use GIMP, so I'm thinking of adding it to the next release. It does have quite a few dependencies, though. Still, a very good tool. Maybe I'll make an .sfs out of it.
Dropped of few of the ideas from previous posts for now. Unetbootin wasn't quite working right and I really didn't see the need to have it anyway.
DEVX Right Click Tools and maybe a few other pets......
This might be a weird idea but I decided to include in the distro some .pet packages that will require click to install. For now, I include DEVX and Right Click Tools under /file/downloads as pets. You can always just delete them but I figure it's nice to not run around looking for them as most will probably want them installed at some point.
Anyway, working on a few other items, as well. Next round should be interesting....

Re; Seamonkey. Strange, seeing your message just now I had to respond. Now that you mention it, I've been trying Seamonkey 2.46 in some of my woof-CE builds, and for no particular rhyme and/or reason, sometimes it does weird stuff. For example, on one xenial build (testing Barry's hints at fixing the 0setup script, after the build finish and I booted into it, I have no ability with Seamonkey 2.46 to drag and drop a web address to make a new bookmark in the bookmark bar. But on other builds, like Tahrs, I don't see this. Also, I've been playing with Barry's new Quirky 8.1.94 the past few hours, and Seamonkey is version 2.48 there and it is not showing any problems (btw, Barry's new build is dam# gorgeous, and it is the most stable Quirk he's ever put out, imho....lots of little problems we identified in previous versions are all gone and/or fixed).
