*Puppy Linux Is Dead* - let's face it.

There are simply not enough users left for *any* new project. We are not a thriving community of Linux enthusiasts. This place is a gathering of 60-70 year old parasitic passengers :) By my optimistic count, there are less than one hundred (100) Puppy users worldwide, including the newly liberated areas, such as Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan.
Anikin?

I suppose those 18,968 guests came here to see the sunset, eh? LMHO

Yoo-hoo! Hip-hip-hurray for "parasitic passengers"!!! :D

OK so to the OP's post

I see mfsBSD loads a stripped down version of FreeBSD.
So I gather your intention is to marry that with or fill it with, other programs like a window manager ,filesystem , editor ,network manager etc which will come from Puppy's repositories .

Is that what you mean?

sortof, I think that woof is a totally unnecessary step. My goal is to have a basic starting point from which you can just download any distro's packages ... a bastard love child of tiny core and woof raised in a commune of puppy fans. When you have tweaked it to fit your taste and/or specific hardware, you can export it to a squashfs, initrd, ISO, tarball, or even (preferably) a single metapackage.

This Tiny-Woof-tard needs to exist even if I never use it.


But I would certainly give it a go.

BSD Pup

#40 Post by sszindian »

@technosaurus

As one can see in the forum, lots of users (some devs) trying to bring old puppy's back to life... I believe this is for lack of better more advanced puppy's... One should be moving forward, not backward... I would love to see a BSD Pup as long as it's from the latest version and keeps progressing! Be glad to test it for you!

I think people are trying to bring old pups back to life because they have old computers. Something more advanced might take more computing power. Also as a User trying to improve an old pup is a way of helping the puppylinux community when you don't have the skils for cutting edge development.

technosaurus et al,

I'm sorry for the comment I've made earlier in this thread.
With the benefit of back thought, I see this wasn't the right place to vent my frustration.
I will respond to some of the comments and provide further explanation, either by starting a new thread or use another, more relevant one to do that. I had some real life issues, that prevented me from posting this earlier.

Back to the topic.

I have a very vague idea about BSD and am looking forward to learn more about it from this project.

Thank you and my sincerest apologies.

I tested playing with somewhat "picobsd" 8 or 10 yrs ago. I remembered there were no "/proc" directory as in linux.

My impression was that BSD seems to be very very stable, solid and bullet proof.

If there is a BSDPUP, i will immediately download and have it tested. thanks

I think the below wallpaper was taken out from a livecd of BSD? Can't remember exactly.......

Try it and let use see what you come up with!

I will help test it!!!

Did you ever consider, not much testing going on, because Puppy releases are getting better, from the start.
Woof_CE is helping to stop a lot of the bad code getting into a release, from the start.

This one may need help or may not :shock: :lol:

alive

#47 Post by raffy »

Go for it, Techno, that is a good project. I've used FreeBSD in fileservers, and everything is mostly familiar.

And for the readers' info, Puppy Linux is very much alive. For example, am using Tahrpup (updated December 2015) and it can install the latest LibreOffice simply through the scripts.

Perhaps what readers miss is the regular release of new Puppy versions. But as far as am concerned, I can use Tahrpup as long as this laptop lives (AMD E350).

In comparison, XP users have been at it since 2001, and so Puppy released in 2015 can expect to last up to 2030.

I love the reductionist ideas!

Re-writing puppy scripts from scratch with the benefit of hindsight will surely make for a more solid and better integrated system which would be easier to develop on.

Not sure how I could help, but I offer my support nonetheless.
