412/421 Forever Puppy Linux Updates Site

[Pelo]

I play with old puppies. I like them.. Some difficulties however with tiny audacious form 412 repository.
No audio. On check. The problem is well known by my Linux team. Old 412 Will do all what i need, excepted sound, on my 64 bits laptop 4 GB
For music, i must get my old laptop Acer Out of its drawer.. to play with my Puppy toys.

I had the same problem with my 64bit desktop and Puppy-412.Got sound working with one of these cheapo USB sound cards from ebay.

@tuxtoo, Just to say thanks. I'm still using 412 and 421. Excellent for low-end machines, and still viable today.

I have some really old PCs, and I am going to try the 412 on them. The neocities.org site is really great!

Yep the Pup I pretty much started out with 4.12.

Again thanks to Tuxtoo's site.

I think that I first discovered Puppy back at about 0.95 -- played with it, and found it "cute" but not really ready for prime time (too limited for my needs).

I came back around to it at about 4.11. That worked pretty well on my old 333MHz PII laptop (I believe that it has 256MB RAM -- as much as I could cram into it, and it would support). I believe that I have also run 5.25 Retro on that old beastie. I don't play with it much any more, since I've acquired more (newer) old laptops to use as "backup". It's had a flaking screen for a while, and last time I pulled it out I discovered that it has a small crack on the edge -- showing some color bleedage in some spots.

The only problem with those older systems is finding a browser that websites will tolerate. Most of the new browsers simply consume all available resources -- knocking old machines out of the running... And most of the websites find it "necessary" to cram as much graphics, and layers of javascript as possible into their code -- making their sites almost unusable even with a high powered machine and modern browser...

Here in the US, people just throw away machines with WinXP and similar vintage. Free for the taking...
