My 701 still works like a charm with Puppee 1.0.

I just added two SFSs, one with Opera (because Opera is real fast, plus has the "resize to screen size" thing that helps a lot with the miserable screen size of the 701), and one with Skype (it is a old beta version but works great, webcam and all).

Ah, and something I done to the control panes caused the fan to stop for good, so I don't have to listen to that dentist drill noise anymore.
(the 701 itself don't seem to be affected, even in extreme summer heat). Not bad at all :)

Hi John! My wife needed SCIM for chinese input and the PPStream app to watch chinese movies. I hit my head for 2 days to make both apps working on Legacy OS but with no luck. I think the distro is simply too old to run recent apps... :( Anyways I ended up choosing Saluki which is slightly slower than Legacy OS but allow the installation of all the programs. Thank anyways and I hope to see a new release of Legacy OS! ;)
