XP-like Hungarian puplet

[starhawk]

@Pelo -- I was simply expressing my surprise at seeing someone who is always complaining, say something that was not a complaint.

I only complain about captains who leave their boats abandoned with people on board, as some painters, no longer interested by their last paint
A puppy available for download should be supported either by the creator or by users.
In France, our help desk still answer about Toutou 431, however Slaxen is the last version. But that should be a PM between you and Me, not here, in the hungarian Puppy topic.
s-kami and me are friends on Facebook, starhawk if you like personal messages, you will be welcome in Puppy-hu Facebook
Where is the topic about seven puppy, this one is about XP ?
Starhawk, any idea ?

Yes, i am afraid of you are absolutely right.

Not to mention i have old machines and i have no money to buy newer and i dont need.

New puppies are too slow and big and not so easy as puppy linux was before.

Quite onestly some weeks before i found manjaro JWM edition.
Boots about 70 MB !!!
Fast and dozens of packages avaible.
On sunday i have download the world of padman 3D opengl games and play.
It is avaible only on old, well minded and supported puppies like precise was.

The machine is ASUS A9rP 1860 Mhz cpu, 879 MB ram, 60 GB hard disk and ATI’s Radeon Xpress 200M.

Manjaro JWM runs amazingly. Fast, secure and fresh with updater and package manager...

I have no problems running current puppies in a machine with 512MB ram, and very old/slow video hardware...

I think that puppies should come with most tray apps/services disabled, asking the user if they want to enable those features (first boot).

It certainly can be quite faster... if you do a full install or if you repackage the SFS with no compression.

I haven't seen screenshots.. but an XP puppy could use lxp-IceWM + some LXDE apps.

PcmanFM is an imitation of Windows Explorer... the same shortcuts, etc.

lxp-IceWM comes with XP themes already working flawlessly. Add a GTK2 XP theme.. you won't believe what you see.

Just giving some ideas.

GNOME2's Nautilus (carried on as Caja, part of MATE) is the most exact copy of Windows Explorer that I've seen in Linux, behavior-wise.

Alas, in Puppy, for reasons even the devs haven't figured out, it crashes on volume unmount. Whoops!

Legopen unicorn has in the box everything to look like Windows. Three years after stopping working on computers with Windows paid by the boss, i really like this desktop. Windows was so slow, but not this one !

try Slacko drivers to connect Precise, it could be possible (for same kernel)
success with 3.14.55
