Dry, This is not related to 706, but instead 605. I'm continually impressed with what you were able to manage with that release. It has worked on every machine I've attempted to run it on. I've run it on Intel NUCs all the way to my eight socket beast, which I've attached output from. I would never ...

Went to install this for a friend today and the installer failed. Just passing along an FYI. Just-Lighthouse Universal Installer - go through the process as one should do. Selecting a USB Hard disk, click through to install to sdc1, etc. After selecting the disk the installer crashes. <root> ~ bash-...

As I understand it, the beauty of peer-2-peer is that a) you can stop downloads and pick them up later - since the downloads come in many "containers" of information. This is true, and would be helpful for distributing ISOs, its really doesnt make sense for distributing 10mb packages. How...

Did anything happen to this? No one was really very interested in working on it. I think Torrents are the way forward but there is no easy small application which runs in the background and notifies the user when the package is ready for installation. Torrents are only good in situations where you ...

I gave this talk at the South East Linux Fest in 2014. It has finally been put online. I'd really like everyones input. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymBQPBEVgQI I am sure that I got some things wrong, so I'd really like if people could point out where I got things wrong... or what things I should...

I like that there are lots of options but sometimes ... Case in point - where would one intuitively look to give Spot a password, please? I didn't see it after looking through a bunch of menus. Thanks ... normally I would open your terminal and switch user to spot su spot and then passwd However th...

alphaOS wasn't good at all. Except it's the only 64 bit linux which started right up and runs seamlessly, without any interference on my part. I thought someone would complain about systemd, and I might agree, but the version of alphaOs I came upon not only works ootb, it works well. df You're righ...

Dry Falls, PM coming your way.

Ha, I don't trust those computers running the lottery machines, I've seen one of them fail once and it was glossed over on the big night..hmmm.. I actually like GTK engine, what I was getting at is whether a little more coding in the Trolltech.conf file could produce good results when we slip into ...

Maybe VLC and other QT would benefit from this? I personally really like QT, but the feeling I get is that most in the Puppy world prefer gtk. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's always the feeling I've gotten. I think in part that's because of our long standing use of GTK and GTK based apps like gtkdialog...

Alan didnt mention that he was an employee, so I thought you might have assumed he was just some random person 'acting' like he knew what he was talking about. My bad, I assumed that part. no problem...just wanted to clear that point in one very heated thread. Enough random persons here already :D ...

If I am so far off reality, and he is a Canonical employee, then he can easily summarily refute me: give us a link to a recent quarterly statement of Canonical's revenues, in which sources are itemized by corporate partner. Otherwise let's drop it. I am sure there are many here who would welcome th...

Who said anything about forcing the adoption of one set of software .... standards are about methods not choices.... if every application had its own version of what to launch it with how the hell could any window manager produce a menu of any kind. From the opposite view if a system uses a window ...

Thought it might be worthwhile signing up to a forum to reply and have a civil conversation, regretting it now. I tend to find it to be a barrage of opinions that have been implanted by the sensationalist press..... actually thats a pretty general comment thinking about it :D Normally I'd agree wit...

Um... what? I've never heard that before.Scientific Linux is made in a partnership between CERN and Fermilab. It's been like that for years. These days CentOS is controlled by Red Hat... in that past though it was independent.

peebee, I apologize if you mentioned this previously and i missed it when reading. Are you using the Slackware64 14.1 Stable Branch or the Slackware64 14.Current Branch? From: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=94430 now using slackware64-14.1 binaries how stable they are - IDK Ah yea...

If the people who are writing the damn standards they want everyone else to follow, dont even bother to follow them completely... I think this shows that it's just a free for all. Standards like this end up to be nothing more than suggestions with no weight behind them. Ok i was being hopefull....I...

Wary64 is a variant of April64, a Quirky puplet aiming for very small size. Why I need such small size these days, I'm not so sure, but it is fun to do -- download is just 110.8MB, with a fully-featured distro, having "everything that you would want". Isnt having fun the best reason to do...

is this too complicated or something? mike No, but some upstream projects could care less about your precious standards. Are we going to 'ban' software that doesn't conform? How exactly are we as a community supposed to control what someone does? We could all 'agree' on a standard, but that doesn't...
