Oh my, this may be the pup that I've been waiting for. Booted it for the first time 15 minutes ago, put the panel on top, changed resolution, and somehow got online tethered to my phone after copying Klink over and installing it. (Klink is a .deb from the Android/Google app store that gets me online through my smartphone.)

Beautiful, snappy, uncluttered... haven't found anything to not like about X-precise-2.2 so far. I may change out Geany in favor of Leafpad, but that's nothing.

Thanks for making this pup available!

A few more Qt applications, remember once the Qt framework packages are installed there is no need to download them again,
then when adding applications they will be of a small size, most being a little over 1mb or less.

Beediff

" BeeDiff (beediff) is a program with graphical user interface (GUI) for comparing and merging files.
User have the possibilty to work with two text files, each in separate panel. Panels are side by side.
All differences of both texts are highlighted in colors.
Operation buttons (such as merge and remove) are located directly inside the compared texts in appropriate positions.
The program is user-friendly, very simple, and efficient. "

Hi!
I'm a total linux newbie and I've been searching for a light distro to install on my 10y old laptop. This laptop has only 512mb of RAM.
I've tried Xubuntu, Lubuntu,old Mint and Ubuntu versions,but none worked. I've discovered Puppy and it worked great. The main issue is that the interface looked like dog poo from 1995. I wasted hours trying to put it better. Yesterday I discovered X-Precise and is just the way I wanted Puppy Linux to be out of the box. I didn't had to change anything in the interface, theme or icons. Is just awesome.
I'll now be testing X-Precise for a few days running it from the CD, but if all goes well I may just install it on the HD.

Memory in use right now (only with Firefox open) : 168Mb
CPU usage. 50%
I may have to try Opera to see if it is lighter.

Thank you for all the hard work releasing X-Precise.

Hi, I did a frugal install of x-precise 2.2 NON PAE on HDD sda9 in /puppy-x-precise on an old Athlon 32-bit CPU with 2GB RAM, and got an issue (below) which I'm unable to figure out, can someone offer some advice, please?

On this machine I can network boot Precise 5.7.1 just fine. But frugal booting x-precise 2.2 NON-PAE has an issue; it goes through puppy's first time setup wizard then it displays a window that says "unable to contact settings server" and X drops to the console command line. So does restarting X with xwin.
I did go through Xorgconfig and reselected the ATI driver and rebooted. Again x-precise went through the first-time setup wizard, then dropped to the console command line with the same message "unable to contact settings server".

Thanks in advance for any help.

@ spearmint

Glad you like it, 50% CPU seems quite high. With firefox running I'm only at 10% although I'm using a dual core at 3Ghz and 2GB RAM.

@ step

Unfortunately, X-precise and X-slacko do not work with P3 or AMD Athlon processors. I think it's a d-bus issue but can't seem to find the problem and have been unable to fix it. They need at least a P4, sorry.
