Hi Musher0,
The language problem (and solution) is discussed in this thread:

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.
EDIT:
I installed kubuntu 13.10 64 bit on my intel imac as well, it's working great, wobbly windows and all.

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?

Time to start distro hopping again. I just bought a quad-core 14" lappy with 4 gig of RAM. All for the stunning price of $300.- This with with a year's guarantee thrown for free because I asked for a professional discount It's amazing the savings you can get on what was once an almost 1600 dollar machine if you are willing to buy a refurbished laptop and are patient enough to find a good price. That being said, I am going to experiment with Puppy as a platform for virtual machines. I want to start with Lighthouse 64 and try Fatdog 64 too. Hopefully, they will run vmware player. Any suggestions on what other Puppies can take full advantage of the hardware in this machine?

Just installed Slackel 5.0 Openbox (a Greek distro based on Slackware and Salix), and it's working well although it suffers somewhat from Slack's restricted package repository (no Osmo, for example).

I use it mainly because it fit on a 128MB SD card and the save file sits OK in NTFS windows. I am not going to vouch that it will take full advantage of your hardware though.
When I am concerned about that. I just boot and run AntiX 64bit and enable Debian experimental repos, (not concerning myself with breakage)..

Linux Bear is it a x86 compatible machine?
And if it is that new does it maybe have win 8 with UEFI
and that makes it a bit harder to put puppy on it.
You have have to start with FatDog that has special preparation
for UEFI unless your machine allow you to turn it off entirely
But I know nothing. I have postponed buying new machines
for some year now due to the UEFI thing on all the new cheap ones here locally.
None of our local cheap machines allow UEFI to be easily turned off AFAIK

It is with a heavy heart that I must announce the closure of SolusOS. Simply put, there is no longer enough manpower to fulfil the vision.

such is sad. I have dedicated a whole USB flash mem for it
d4p suggest TazChrome OS.
I have not tested it yet. I would expect it to be Slitaz OS
with the Chrome browser added?
I mean Chrome OS as such is a very different thing.
In what way can it be Tazified but I know too little.
Thanks for the link though i've downloaded the ISO
but I'm too lazy to set up anything just now.
so tell us more about menu.lst or other ways to do a frugal install of it?

SolusOS and TazChrome
I agree. I was highly impressed with the first version. And was hoping for more from them. On another note, TazChrome is based on Slitaz. And Slitaz is going through some major problems as their leader has stepped away for a while and not sure if he is coming back. Thanks, Rob

Yeah, me too (but thanks for letting me know anyway). I thought the distro had a lot of promise.James C wrote:Sad to see it end.

Another update; I installed the latest version of Sabayon, 13.08, but it was a sad disappointment (on my machine anyway, in case any of the Sabayon devs are reading this). I wasn't able to update the system once it had been installed or install any additional software (and it doesn't come with an office suite as standard).
Sabayon 10 was pretty good in my experience so I hope this is just a one-off. Manjaro 0.8.7.1's next on my list of distros to try.

I bought a new machine with Win 8 and UEFI/Secure-boot and after trying to get consistent functionality as well as speed while running legacy bios, I took the thing back to the store and got my money back. I bought another machine. It is a refurbished machine. Refurbished means that the machine is two years old, (therefore no UEFI or secure boot) but has been certified as "like new" by Hewlitt Packard and as such has a factory warranty. This machine is a dual processor machine with each processor having dual cores which makes it a quad-core machine. So far, Ubuntu 10.04 Ultimate Edition (with Ubuntu Studio apps and desktop) installed and found all the correct drivers. Precise 5.28-005 does not work, but Fatdog 64 and Precise 5.6.1 run very well!
linuxbear Cool that you manage to get something that easily worked.
I have postponed buying the UEFI machines until
enough people can confirm that even people like me
are able to install things easily
fortunately the FatDog team are working on it from their perspective
and hopefully others too so we get as much info as possible
how one can get things going. Thanks for sharing
