(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I have tested several Puppy derivates with a nine year old Laptop with 750 MHZ CPU and 256 MB RAM.
Browserlinux 200809 is the fastest i have ever tested.
The BIOS start takes 50 seconds, the start of Browserlinux need only 45 seconds, with wlan connect (with WPA, it made no problems)
I tryed WinXP on this machine, for the boot it needed 5 minutes.

I added Java runtime (jre1.6.0_11.pet) the VLC Player (vlc-9.9.aV3-i686.pet)
and Mediathek_mit_lib_1.1.0. So I have a Mediathek with more then 5000 pictures from the german public television. This pictures run soft without stops.

To the Software from the homepage i added tonicpoint.pet to read powerpointfiles.

Why need people Hardware with dualprocessors and 4 GB RAM????

just downloaded this distro today

fastest puplet so far

is it possible to install transmission, vlc and amarok on this puplet?

btw my desktop specs are as follows

Intel PIII 1Ghz
256MB SDRAM
40GB Samsung HD
32MB Nvidia Graphics Card
15" CRT Monitor

VLC make no problem. why do you need amarok? Pleas use the vlc-0.9.9aV3-i686.pet (40 MB,but I think you have no space problems http://cid-da097326680e08e6.skydrive.li ... 3-i686.pet) This player has all the codec you need.
For Transmission you can get information here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=38969. Save the *sfs-file an install the pet.
