Radky`s PupApp, Pupcontrol, PupShutdown, PupClockset and PupSnap are updated to the latest. Thank you radky for these nice apps.
Main focus is laptop and desktop use with enough ram and cpu. Xorg_high/mesa-dri is included in the distro.
Transparency created by xcompmgr might need special rows to xorg.conf. There is good guide in forum howto enable transparency with xcompmgr in puppy: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 011#452011
Wcpufreq governs also multiprocessor cpu`s. Remember to apply the governor by Menu - system - system status and config - Cpu frequency scaling tool.
I have added sfs on the fly application, made by Shinobar. It is still on going project. Just right click sfs file and click sfs load.
Snow Puppy has laptop scripts copied from Fluppy for good laptop support.
Also it has multimedia Fn+ play, Fn + stop etc.. enabled. They launch deadbeef player. Print screen button launches mtpaint-snapshot. Acpitool is included so Fn + zz suspends to ram after you have connected to net first time. It is dependent of that because of shutting net connection before suspending. I can change that behavior to launch simply acpitool -s and acpitool -S if needed.
Snow Puppy has more apps than basic distro. Snapshots are included below. Sit Heels Speak font improvement package is included, more than usual jwm-, gtk-, and icon themes. Also plenty of backgrounds.
For wired and wireless and net connections there is new Frisbee. For ndiswrapper usage there is relevant scripts and gui.
Firefox is the preinstalled browser. Install whatever browser more as your preferences go. Lucid Quickpet is included as updated version.
In Internet section there is Firefox 4.0.1, pidgin 2.7.11, xchat 2.88, transmission 2.22 and uget.
There is no email client. Install whatever you wish, or do as I, I have Thunderbird on own folder in /mnt/home and only symlink to /root and executable dragged to the desktop. One email client for all puppies.
Default image viewer is Geeqie, because it rotates pictures automatically and it has scripts to launch gimp, fotoxx and mtpaint for editing straight from leftside file browser and it has big preview screen on the right side. But there are those others also, gimp is included for real editing. Changing default applications: Go to /usr/local/bin and right click defaultapplication file you want to change, remove the name of application and replace it with app name you want to use.
Streamtuner2 is added with Python. So atm python apps should work straight if they dont need extra modules.
Special thanks to Barry Kauler, Playdayz, Jemimah, micko01, ttuuxxx and Iguleder for great Puppy distros, guidelines and applications.
I think this is still beta quality, so bug reports are needed and are essential for making this derivative better.
