Musher/Pelo (and everyone else reading on murga, keep reading),
Where is this mandibule2005?
He is not here. He is not on the msg thread you linked.
None of his Google drive links work. But thank heavens for Ally, as I was able to download mandibule's fluxbox version.
Why does any of this matter? Simple: fluxbox.....
What a complete surprise! the fluxbox look and is operation is interesting as heck insid a pup. This could be a great direction for lightweight puppies . And mandibule's is based on x-sacko 4.1, so
it is stable and such.
I urge pup users on murga here to go to the thread Musher first linked:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... ost#911331
...yes, it is all in French, do not care if you do not speak French, go there.... if you no
parler une French, quick-use of Google Translate is your friend. I live fairly close geographically to Pelo, and I still embarrassingly speak no French....who cares?! Use Google Translate!!
Here's is Ally's link of this mandibule2005's creations:

Ally saves the day once again, because for some reason, none of mandibule2005 links to his Google Drive account (scattered throughout the French thread Musher linked to) do not work.
Mandibule created 4 creations. For clarity, using Ally's fantastic help and what I found throughout that French thread, here are the ISO md5 sums for what Ally has uploaded:
s3.iso (could not find the md5 sum)
s3e17.iso (could not find the md5 sum)
s3flux.iso md5 : eb959fb04580a9999606c292f167ec3e
s3slim.iso md5: f486a178b8b15574e4c7fa36cccc5682
custom-berylpup.iso md5: 42871c92f0a76e650ca32eaf03b5027c
----Also, Mandibule2005 also made a Mate version. From pics provided there, looks exactly like Ubutnu mate desktop. He listed it as S4Mate64&32.iso, to be located at
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz1ZmB ... sp=sharing, with the md5sum: ece3a057e7dceb0914b64aa280f6f136, at size 381.7 MB. Unfortunately, as I noted above, all the links to the Google Drive account in the French thread do not work.
In summary;
I have only tested the 's3flux", and I believe it it is the real jewel here. If you've never tried fluxbox, you need to, The look, appearance, it's speed, lightweight, is not well known in the pup community. It reminds me of antiX developers were/are doing with the small OS footprint of their's (antiX-15 and antiX-16).
I will be also testing the custom-berylpup.iso today. At only ~180mb, and yet it has the ability to do the KDE-like cube? Unbelievable. The cube is something if you haven't experienced you really need to do once in your lifetime. To have this done, in a pup under 200MB, is just fantastic. Same is true for the s3fluxbox pup, fluxbox will make you think twice what many are doing in terms of desktops in puppies they put together.
Musher, I know you are busy with your other threads, developments, and also life, but if you get a chance, could you (or maybe Pelo???) try to get mandibule2005 to appear here? With the s3fluxbox, does he even realize he created a little jewel?? And that if people try it, they more than likely will get hooked on it???
Thanks.
