I'm posting this from Puppy Fire Hydrant Inferno, which I believe was one of Puppyluvr's creations and dates from about 2008. It was based on Puppy 3 series (3.01 in particular).

Obviously the software's old by today's standards but it all still works as far as I can see. Playing videos in Youtube is difficult though, as the browser (Firefox 2.0.0.9) doesn't seem to recognise HTML5, which most Youtube vids nowadays seem to be encoded in. It also won't read the ext4 file system, which is what I use by default.

A worthwhile experiment anyway, and I like the look of it (better in fact than most modern Pups or other distros).

Another good and not very well known one; I'm posting this from Puppy Cielo 5.2, which is based an early version of Wary (5.0) and probably dates from around 2011-12. Again I wasn't able to play Youtube videos, though this time I could access files on an ext4 partition.

The Fire Hydrant series was another of Ttuuxxx masterpieces.

Thanks! Happy to stand corrected (and apologies to Ttuuxxx too).

Guess The Puppy

Ok Guess the Pup from the obscure picture?

Clues: Obviously an older Pup and it is not an english pup.

Kernel: kernel 3.9------- August 2013.

Never really tried many of the older Pups. Not yet..!

My all-time fave for a solid, day-to-day Pup which will do everything I need has now switched from Micko's Slacko 5.7.0 to its predecessor, Slacko 5.6.0. But I have to agree with the comments about pemasu's stuff. UPup 'Raring' 3.9.9.2 (2013-ish?) comes a very close second, despite being one of the '9-month wonders' whose repos shut down months before I even joined the Forum.....

My own has been set-up entirely with .pets and SFSs.....and a few items I've installed manually, by 'borrowing' the necessary deps'n'stuff from other Pups. (Like gnome-system-monitor, which was a real bitch to get working; most of the necessary items came from Barry's last 'official' Pup, Precise 571, though I found odd bits & pieces from a variety of sources).

I keep looking at various 4-series Pups, though many seem to be missing basic stuff like the ability to recognise a USB 3.0 adapter card.....or to load SFS packages.

@ darry:-

Hah! That was a good guess, wasn't it? (And at that point, I wasn't even thinking about answering your question, TBH.... :oops: )

I still stand by my comments, though. Here's my current 'take' on Raring:-

Yeah, it's not too bad, is it? :lol: I think the deep red background 'base' colour, along with the gold pinstriping around my home-made 'docks', gives it a real touch of class. Rather like some of the old steam railway engines had with their company liveries.....

All courtesy of MooiTech's PhotoScape 3.7, running in Racy 5.5.

(Stupid thing is - and I've never figured this out - although PhotoScape runs in every one of my Pups, for reasons that escape me some of the more esoteric functions (like the pinstriping utility) seem to work far better under Racy than they do anywhere else. And that's the oldest Pup in the kennels. Weird.)

You can see I have way too much time on my hands, can't you? :oops:

Guess you already know Mike, but just in case, in gkrellm you can define names for the temperature readings, such as core and gpu (or radeon/whatever)

Now I can mark 'em Core1 and Core2, the way I want them. Cheers, mate!

Iguleder's GuyDog-5.0.1 that was quite a wonderful pup from 2011.

The 21 pages of postings from 5.0.0 --> 5.0.1 are here. There are some stunning wallpapers offered.

I was drooling about this one, but didn't have a reliable portable CD/DVD burner at the time.
For the security minded... kernel 2.6.39.4 so theres NO TLS1.2 AFAIK.

I've just tried Midnight Sun Pup. It looks great (and very appropriate since we're in June now) and came with a Firefox which could be updated as far as FF45, but it wouldn't run Pale Moon or install Softmaker FreeOffice 2018 (I didn't try it with 2016).

@ Colonel Panic:-

Give the SSE-only version of Palemoon 27.9.4 a look. Watchdog did a build with a glibc-2.19 'tweak' built-in, and I turned it into a 'portable', along the same lines as Fred's FF-Quantum portable.. Ten to one your problem is the glibc being too old, though you could be having issues with too-old 'deps', too.....

My 'portable' version:- http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 06#1022606

Or there's jrb's 'installer' script for the same:- http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=116108

Yes, you could use watchdog's original .pet package, but what with you being an inveterate 'distro-hopper', I think the portables are simply the easier option for you....and they work on a lot of non-Puppy distros, too; I've had Fred's FF-Quantum portable running happily in AntiX, back when I still had it installed.

(You could put this in one 'permanent' location on your machine, and just access it via the launcher script whenever you want to use it. Or stick it on a flash drive; they run just as happily from one of those.)

Thanks Mike; this will be good if or when I'm using older versions of Puppy such as that one. I generally install the Debian package of Palemoon or Vivaldi when I'm in Debian or a Debian-based distro (such as Liquid Lemur, the one I'm posting this from).

Distro-hopping? When I'm not using Puppy, these days I tend to use Debian-based distros more than any others because they work better with old computers like mine and are also very easy to update. I could be accused of flitting around between distros (if it is an accusation?), but the distros I flit (or hop) between are getting fewer and fewer. This is at least the third time I've installed Liquid Lemur, for example.
