What about a place for a newbie noob, level 0 or below! Thats me, Canbyte. I have other technical training, can write and being a bit pedantic, can think like a non geek. One problem as i see it is that good info is piecemeal, all over the place, getting access to it can be confusing and time consuming. So far i've spent 2 months on this go-round trying to get puppy working, plus a previous effort similarly unsuccessful. I hope i don't have to give up this time but until i get my oki printer working and either a usb drive or a lan share with a win98 box working, the project can only be considered experimental, subject to disillusionment/ abandonment. I need a system, not a Puppy box.
I've been reading till my eyes bleed - kind respondents' replies, the wiki, fora here and elsewhere, the manual, etc. While Puppy is a great box to use, this is not how i want to live my life. Volunteering to organize the info would be a far more satisfying use of my time. Although there is some benefit going through some pain to understand MY problem, it really doesn't do anything for Puppy. So lets make a deal. Somebody, get my @#$%^& system working, as Ecomoney is doing, I'll work endlessly on presenting / reorganizing info so non geeky newbies can get going or solve problems quickly, much as jhecht described. [I once saw a page that had topics that that the reader could expand as needed to show /print more detail.]
I'll be your border collie rounding up the bits and pieces!
-----------------------------------
Reorganize puppy home page to eliminate clicks.
Expand forum topics to encourage more permanent / developing topics.
So lets boogie.
Cheers.

Me too, a level 1 puppy user, sometimes, contributor.
Often you can see my post with new .pet package. I love to create packages for puppy. Working in a Tech company, so I'm not able to spend my fulltime on puppy.

Level 1.5 have donated hardware in the earlier development of Puppy.
Have performed a lot of full hard drive puppy installs.
Have had to trouble shoot hardware problems on old PCs to get puppy to run properly.
Keep burned copies of puppy handy for anybody that might want to try out Puppy. Have made a lot of converts!
Anyway thats my 2 cents worth.

Level 1.6
I know BASIC and some C++ and I am teaching myself how to use the Linux CLI. I have done a few remasters and am working on a few more. i have never made and .pets or anything, but a few icon packs that I posted on the forum. I spend a lot of time helping puppians with problems they may have on the support channel.
Look at my profile and there are many ways to get a hold of me. I'm happy to help in any way.

Thanks ttuuxxx
Not a bad idea re the forum thread: Puppy Recycles.
Since starting with puppy the forum has already taught me heaps, what I thought was scary is now a real challenge, when something doesn't work I scour the forums to find the answer and so far have succeeded.
Getting my Vodafone modem to work was the clincher. Now there's no looking back too Microsoft only forwards to puppy.........
Would be too glad to help where I can in relation to older hardware. I only recently turfed out a heap of old stuff (before I found puppy)
However I still have heaps of different systems and new ones too. Can't seem to help myself re hardware.
I fear after finding puppy by accident this will only make my addiction worse!
My goal now is promoting puppy to all and sundry who will listen
Yell it out loud and clear
POWER TO ALL PUPPIANS WATCH OUT MICROSOFT WE BITE!!

I have a question
Does anyone know an easy way to categorize the posts here, so that people can may meet up/contact with others offering similar/related help....?
For Example: Colonel Schell is starting to organise updating manuals/info, [a much recognised need] and several have offered help here, but aren't linked to his announcement/ thread....
If you are interested....

maybe level 2 i can make pets, and sfs files. i have only used linux for around 2 years.I started running web servers on windows and switched to linux, hell i still have a windows server still running cuzz just to lazy to switch to linux.If anyone needs files hosted or mirrored i have alot of space.i have very crude skills in html, and php. i am decent at mysql but used it mostly in my windows days.i have very bad writing skills and am not good at putting my thoughts to words.
I love puppy and have it on 6 of my 7 computers i use, well besides the one windows server.
i do not use irc much but can message me here on the forum.

i'm barely a level two kinda between one and two to be honest in the fact that I am not totally new to puppy(been using it since 2006) but more to the fact that i know basic housekeeping tasks ,how to install and such and the only programming knowledge i have is a basic understanding of c,c++ and html
BUT!!!
I am a bandwith sponsor serving up a recorded eight gb's of pets a day according to host monster's aw stats program
and I am also trying to help the community out by starting a better, more robust and capable wikki with Iguleder in the hopes it will be on par with other major distro documentation such as debian and arch
we are looking to compose articles that are very through ,extensive, and easy to understand in plain english
more info here:
