(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I just wanted to say that I'm not going to be nearly as active in Puppy Linux stuff as I used to. Since November 2010, I have been spending much of my free time trying to learn puppy and trying out so many different pups/puplets.
But this year, I have decided to transfer my free time to a new project in my life, that I hope will lead to a new career. Puppy Linux is still my main OS, so I will still be browsing through this forum, but not nearly as often as I used to. I leave Saluki in the very capable hands of Jemimah. She has a lot of back-up from forum members, and although my assistance may have been helpful, it is not really needed. I may drop in on this thread once in a while, but for the most part, Saluki shall go on without me.

If I get rid of that code entirely, it would prevent the real rox from working if you install it. We need a wrapper that gracefully does the right thing. Contributions welcome!

Hi jemimah

I don't see any errors on reboot with my copy of /usr/bin/Thunar renamed to /usr/bin/rox

I've looked in dmesg and in /var/log/messages - no errors I can see

Where do you expect the errors to appear?

Cheers

Running on my old laptop - looks and feels really nice - snappy.

Just need to work out the best way of loading sfs's on a ram challenged machine.

I know the conventional method is to make a save_file and reboot - but I usually prefer to run live,
(ie - no save_file) then load and unload sfs's on the fly, using JRB's excellent SFS_TCZ-linker.

I also like the easy setup with the control panel.

If I compare it to Xubuntu's desktop, it still has some way to go, but that's probably not a fair comparison, Xubuntu being almost 10 times bigger.

On my atom box,
(Processor: 4x Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D525 @ 1.80GHz
Memory: 2057MB),
luki 006 uses 125MB of ram, with only system-info running. That's a bit high for a basically still empty system, compared to other Puppy's. (It's twice Slacko's iddling ram usage on the same box)
But maybe 125MB is incredibly low for a xfce system. IIRC, xfce is normally thought of to need 256mb all for itself.

It was interesting to see the menu and parts of the xfce interface being localized (dutch). I estimate about 30%..

Where I think there's room for improvement:

* Better fonts are needed for my demanding (read: aging ) eyes.

* 006 is certainly not slow, but not as snappy as slacko, imho..

Thanks Jemimah!
