Is anyone still working on 2.15CE?
I love this distro (using it now to write this post) but one thing I miss is a 'kill' button in the system menu. I just had Mozilla Seamonkey hang on me and it's just so much easier to kill with a menu item in the system menu like in 'normal' Puppy releases.
Even though Linux cannot stop faulty programs from hanging I've found the 'Kill' a foolproof way to kill a program (unlike Windows).
Why no "kill" button in 2.15CE system menu?

Try right clicking on Seamonkey in the taskbar/tray and see if a pop-up window/menu appears which includes the kill option. Works w/JWM - not sure about iceWM.

Trialing 4.20
I'm using the alpha version so things may be slightly different in the final release of 215CE. On the left of the taskbar is a folder icon (marked "Quick Launch Menu" if you hover the mouse over it). Left click it and on "Kill Process" in the resulting drop-down (drop-up???) menu. Choose the process from the list and click on kill.
Hope this helps

Linux = Learning through doing :shock: :? :D
The learning curve may be steep but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
You just have to pass the occasional oncoming train to get there.

Tried this in final but found it more complicated than the above option.
