For what it's worth, in the past John has replied to my emails but it has been years ago.

I have already joined the new forum so I just hope we can keep all the mostly valuable information intact. No real ideas of how to contact John though.

I'm posting this from Puppy Fire Hydrant Inferno, which I believe was one of Puppyluvr's creations and dates from about 2008. It was based on Puppy 3 series (3.01 in particular). Obviously the software's old by today's standards but it all still works as far as I can see. Playing videos in Youtube ...

Hi Fredx181. Could one use a similar script or set of scripts to build a Sid Dog? Then the user would have the latest versions of pretty much everything on his distro. Some may fear the "unstable" label. However, the Debian people are serious people, they wouldn't offer anything that woul...

Re: Suggestions for a Puppy for my ancient PC

Which current version of Puppy would be good for an old computer (specs in my sig file)? The main reason I need a newer Puppy is that I can't upgrade my browsers to access sites like USPS.com or PayPal.com. Otherwise, my old Puppy works just fine for my needs. My concern is that newer versions of P...

I figured it was about time for another of these pointless threads.There is and has been a sub-forum for official releases for years located http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/index.php?f=42


The section was started way way back with 4.2 Deep Thought but for some reason people quit using it.
