AtomicPup2020 Released
Posted: Wed 15 Feb 2017, 01:17
***Jan.08,2020 UPDATE ***
AtomicPup2020 is an update to version 18 and XIX based upon 01micko's
original Slacko5.7-i686-4G-noPAE (32bit) puppy. Sailor Enceladus has provided
an update to 01micko's original using a supported kernel (3.18.106). For those
people that DO NOT have an Atom CPU, this new update is urged, as it has on-
going patches to the Meltdown/Spectre problems. Slacko5.7.1-woofCE
by sailor enceladus can be found here. I will no longer maintain my
updated original version, as it is vunerable to the Meltdown/Spectre syndrome.
This decision is in the best interest of all.
================================================================================
It is intended that AtomicPup2020 be installed to a USB Flash drive. The included
Gparted will make the 768Mb partition as ext3, and set the 'boot' flag. Do this
when still on 1st CD start. Then install, and do a shutdown. Set the save-file
as ext3, and 256Mb. Note: security must be set as none or normal.
AtomicPup2020 will be my sole spin, naming will avoid confusion. It is a contin-
uation of 'EONS' with security patches supplied by Slackware. WGET is at version 1.19.5.
AtomicPup2020 has the following elements
CPU: Intel Atom before 2013 (N2600/N2800 is last CPU)
kernel: 3.4.82 (out of support)
*** new *** wget 1.19.5
bash 4.1.017 (from Slackware 13.37, same source as original slacko5.7)
*** new *** OpenSSL 1.0.2p (from Slackware 14.2, updates MUST occur at slackware.com)
with thanks to HoerMirAuf for the upgrade pet.
browser FireFox27.0.1 (FF27) configured for security and privacy
Addons: AdBlock Edge, Searchonymous, Redirect Cleaner, Better Privacy, Youtube
All HTML5, Download YouTube as MP4, and FireFTP 2.0.19 (this one is optional).
Security: TLS1.2 with forward secrecy is the only permitted type.
I do not expect TLS1.3 for Older FireFoxes (TLS1.3 support begins at FF49).
*** new *** Javascript: enabled, but does not cache data.
For a longer list of changes type about:support in the browser address bar.
The Office is SoftMaker-FreeOffice version 6.97 (before WIN10). It has been
trimmed to one language (enUS) and is quite small. WordProcessor, SpreadSheet,
and Slide-Presentation are included. This is the only way I can distribute
without a key. The enUS Manual in pdf is a separate download. You may remove the
Office if not needed. Open /opt and delete all files within, then open /root
(show hidden files) removing .softmaker, and remove the two desktop icons. Done.
avidemeux 2.5.5s video editor included
fonts are Liberation Sans/Serif/Mono, Overpass, and Digital-7 (UTF-8 encoding)
*** new is monaco.ttf that is default leafpad and Geany font with thanks to musher0 ***
paint is mtpaint 3.44.48
python 2.6 and 2.7
video-drivers OTHER THAN i915 have been removed (i965 can be requested)
ALL shares and servers have been removed including SAMBA.
*** If you need shares/servers, use the new slacko5.7 by sailor enceladus above.
CUPS 1.4.8 using foomatic2xxx-2014.04.26 by rcrsn51 and thanks. This will allow
newer Laserjet Printers by HP to be used. His repo is broken/removed, so I
uploaded my copy of his foomatic (xqx and zjs included) to archive.org.
iso size is about 150Mb and minimum partition size is 768Mb using 256Mb save.
In general, one does not need a swap-file, but an eeePC 2G-surf might.
AtomicPup backgrounds are in /root/my-applications/MyFiles
Original SlackoPup5.7 backgrounds remain in their original locations.
So... one can surf the net and have some music/video with editing. You can
hazard on-line purchases and banking and passwords with good security.
Just a reminder to use encrypted wifi, this spin has the WPA2 supplicant
security patch (version 2.6 by Slackware) but the 'host side' is still a ?.
