I find Opera makes this distro boot faster

#16 Post by The Major »

I like this distro, but I found that it was quite slow to load the XP background and icons. Also, there is a marked delay in loading Firefox or Rox the first time.

However, I found that installing Opera and removing Firefox made the loading faster and Opera opens up at "normal" Puppy speed i.e. fast.

I have no idea why, but others may find this useful.

Of all the "pups" I've tried (there's a lot of them running around out there in the yard) I like Optimized the best. The layout and apps suits my needs (almost). After adding gimp, cups, gimp-print, sane, xsane, xfe, and mc and blowing away ROX and a few others, I could live with this "pup".

Nice work. I hope you do the same for the pup 2.xx.
