I am in the process of posting on the website the news about the Beta release and listing the changes. it isnt finnished yet but i plan on mentioning everything that has been mentioned in regards to additions and fixes to the beta. please feel free to post here whatever thoughts you have about anything you would like to see in the beta


also it would be good to sort out a new name (this has been an issue mostly in the past, i thinnk people are getting used to the name pussy linux) before the beta is released. please post your concerns/ suggestions for a new name if that is so what you desire, we will have a vote on the name after we have a list. this is ofcause unless you wanna keep pussy or pussy linux or pussy operating system

Here's a few...

Pup's Meow / MeowPup
Feline(linux) / Whiskers / WhiskerPup
Kitty(linux) / KittyCat(linux) / PussyCat(linux)...

What do you think...???

Kitty Linux seems best to me but what if the Company that have "Kitty" for a lot of product have trade marked it in same way?

Not being a puppy at all? it should not have reference to puppy in name.
would be confusing.

Now that I've got the gist of the README.txt, the evil part of my mind is at work. Sometimes, I get that kind of free time. (sigh) Then, I tend to wander.

Really, the website's down? Could they have an issue with the name?
(Did I mention that I wander sometimes?)

I hesitate to do this, because people take naming their creations so personally when the whole thing is meant in jest. Oh, what the hell.

Litterbox Linux
Distemper Linux
It's so Fluffy Linux or Itsofluffy Linux
Stray Kitten Linux (my favorite) or Stray Puppy Linux
I'm not Rover Linux or Stop calling me Rover Linux

Oooops, the spouse is calling. I hav'ta go. No doubt I will think of
really good ones later.

Tomcat Linux?
Bobcat Linux?
Mouser Linux?
CatNap Linux?
CrevasseOS? As in, "There are Puma's in the Crevasses", or possibly double entendre.

[lithpr]

Yeah, actually "Stray" works really well, especially as it could be considered Debian or Puppy "straying" from the norm.

I think that's pretty slick, borgbucolic!

Well all the fuss was about apt-get.
So why not apt-get puppy.

[nooby]

[Béèm]

As far as I understand, it is a complete distro with apt-get as package manager.

[pacer106]

Australian Mist Linux
Ocicat Linux
Korat Linux
Maine Coon Linux
Manx Linux

Well there are debian puppy's also.

If this one isn't a puppy or derivative, there is no place for it here in the forum.

How about - NPL

Nearly Puppy Linux.

Also like Stray -

sickgut wanted and asked for help to make this into a puppy,

not quite there yet - but getting close.

Am sure that a few pointer's from those that are knowledgeable would
push this in the right direction.

It has JWM already - just needs a mounting tool on the desktop,
it runs as root, most other bits are there, or can be apt-get'ted.

Would be nice to have a Stray Puppy around, just has claws
instead of paws - and Meow's then Growls at startup instead of
Woof Woof.

Very best regards - and thanks for trying to give us a NPL or Stray
or whatever you decide to call it.

Raymondo.

I just had this logo in mind (evil thoughts again) of an angry wet cat. There was a double meaning here, but it escapes me at the moment along with a whole list of system sounds, pointers, and other artwork.

I can see the point about the Debian installer though. I'm working through a Linux install where I had to go to Fedora's repositories, because there was a lack of applications that was needed from the distro maker.

One of the downsides of Puppy is removing applications you don't use. It can be a hassle depending on what it is.
