I have used xubuntu booting from a flash stick ....better than puppy in terms of presentation and almost everything worked straight from the install...a few minor tweaks, downloded audio and video codecs and its good---the biggest problem is that it is not as responsive as Puppy and has some noticeable lag at times
I am very encouraged and would like to say thankyou for your work to upgrade a fine Pup like this "528" - your doing great work.RetroTechGuy wrote:I've been running 5.28 (ermmm... 5.28.004?) on my Asus 900eee, without problems...rjbrewer wrote:edit:nubc wrote:Tanks,

Simplicity Puppy? I must have been sleeping or something.
What do we know about this version then?

Anyone tried NixOS. Sounds like it is created in a way that has some similarities with Woof

http://nixos.org/nixos/In NixOS, the entire operating system — the kernel, applications, system packages, configuration files, and so on — is built by the Nix package manager from a description in a purely functional build language. The fact that it’s purely functional essentially means that building a new configuration cannot overwrite previous configurations. Most of the other features follow from this.

NixOS certainly looks promising, but it's clearly not for beginners. Here's an excerpt from its homepage;
You configure a NixOS system by writing a specification of the functionality that you want on your machine in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix.
For instance, here is a minimal configuration of a machine running an SSH daemon:
{
boot.loader.grub.device = "/dev/sda";
fileSystems."/".device = "/dev/sda1";
services.sshd.enable = true;
}
After changing /etc/nixos/configuration.nix, you realise the configuration by running this command:
$ nixos-rebuild switch
This command does everything necessary to make the configuration happen, including downloading and compiling OpenSSH, generating the configuration files for the SSH server, and so on.

Just installed PC-BSD 9.2 (the latest version). It's early days yet but it seems pretty stable and works well. The only problem I've found so far is that if you want to install any additional programs from the App Cafe (yes that's what it's called), the program sizes are almost insanely big. Geeqie, for example, is a 56 MB download, GKrellM is an 85 MB one (I kid you not) and Firefox 17 ESR is about 98 MB.

I recently installed Korora 19.1 (the latest version), which is based on Fedora, and it seems to be working well. Sadly I couldn't get Flash to work consistently in PC-BSD so I've gone back to ZevenOS Neptune for the time being (there's a new version out now, 3.3), which is based on Debian and includes KDE and the Calligra office suite. Looks like a "keeper" for me at the moment as it does almost everything well.

One of my little side projects.......Debian Testing aka Jessie. Have it trimmed down to a bit over a 400 mb cd with a browser and Synaptic.Running Openbox and still experimenting with kernels.
EDIT:
Temporarily decided about the kernel.....

Hi Musher0,
The language problem (and solution) is discussed in this thread:
http://lxle.net/forum/#/discussion/63/language-support.
Have not tested this myself, as I still have to download LXLE...

I installed kubuntu 13.10 64 bit version.
It has a lot of effects available, wobbly windows etc, and they are fun.
No problems so far.

problems, problems, problems I updated a single lib file while running Bodhi and my whole GUI was deinstalled for some reason. Bodhi, while very fast has some problems and you certainly do not want to use Ubuntu's auto updater, It does strange things to E17.
.... I went back to the one distro which never gave me problems: Ubuntu Studio 10.04

If you know Spanish then maybe this OS distro is for you.
A variant of Ubuntu where they have tried to include
what most people expect to be there from scratch.
My Spanish is zero so I wait for others to tell how good it is.
And what about Keyboard layout if it is for Spanish keyboard
it will be rather different unless it allow you to specify your owncountry
during boot process?
