Wot I use Puppy for

[mmmrr]

i use puppy for the usual simple internet stuff, email, browsing
but i spend much more time fooling around with it, finding which
ones will run on bulletproof old laptop==p2,266mhz,160mb-ram,
60gb-hd==then seeing if i can make classic fireballs like 214r or
johnmurga's 202 run the w-less/video which 216 and 412 both do
so well....a form of whittling really, oh making abstract patches of
colour for icons which keeps me reminded whether it's 109,216,
412, or browserlinuxpup i've booted into. presently i'm trying to
persuade 109 and 214r to play with wpa/psk....cheers,mm

2016 : things have changed a lot
I am browsing forum about Amarok, it's the best way to learn,, to check past remarks, problems and suggestions.
But my opinion is that Puppy was better used than now.
Or users have left, or they don't post anymore...

Most of the things in life that I have are old junk or I wouldn't have much at all. My main use of computers is the internet and with the continuing advancement of more and more complicated internet websites and videos - now videos everywhere that play by themselves and don't even give you a chance, the less and less I can use the old junk. I discovered the option of Linux that doesnt hog up all the hardware and gives me a fighting chance not to mention it's FREE. Along with that free I don't have to worry about trying to buy expensive virus control ( or worry about navigating dangerously without any ).
I would like to thank all the people involved with these operating systems as they were designed especially for the people of the world like myself.
I have a handful of Y2K era laptops that were just barely able to limp along with stop and go ( mostly stop ) action on Youtube and with the outdating of XP I thought they were done except for offline use. I got a copy of Mint 17.1 and played it off the disc in an old Dell and I could surf and watch video as good as a new one in the store. But couldn't get the wireless to work. Then got copy of Wary Puppy 5.5 and apparently it had the older drivers and got wireless. Now I have to study and figure out the rest of it. Thanks again everybody

Welclome to Puppy mate.

Feel free to ask any questions here.

Just supply your specs and Puppy version and we are happy to help.

Hey! and tell your friends.

There are so many computers thrown out because they are unbootable,
or filled with viruses.
Puppy can fix these issues and recover lost docs.

Maybe you will get lucky and find a trashed PC for free.

Some Windows fixes here...last page.
It may help someone you know out.

My village is full of artists. I use Puppy Linux to edit my pictures,
Installing Puppy is easy. Just choose a Puppy with no complicated process.
I prefer Puppy for what we can do with it, better than how it has been installed.
