edit: @Familyman I tested yarock for icecast and shoutcast radio streams and they all worked, although this program seems very cpu intensive while building list of stations. There is a problem in that mplayer phonon backend does not support equalizer, gstreamer is required, but I guess we can live ...

If someone has any idea about the logo it would be very appreciated, also if you want to contribute good choice is to use svg format from inkscape. While the suggestion I have might not qualify as great, I would be more than happy if this could initiate an discussion about the philosophy behind the...

Dear simargl, There are reasons why I eagerly look forward to the goodies in the new rolling release of alphaOS 6! Besides the improvements mentioned by simargl to spacefm, new packages in the repository; it is the tiny little things that make a huge difference to old systems like the EeePC 2G Surf ...

It took me a while to configure my desktop after having installed: New package: openbox-themes-1.0.2-2.spkg I struggled to locate the theme and could initially find only Default and Gotham available with further possible modification available of the positioning of the dock through the Tint2 panel. ...

Thanks for this solution to the clock being perennially reset on the Windows OS after one has booted into AlphaOS from a live USB!

Everything works great now!!!

Dear meowcats and simargl, Thanks for the quick responses pointing me in the direction! I have good news to report that I have successfully used the paka command and also been able to regain 100% volume setting for speaker in my alsa upon reboot. Obviously persistence has paid off! While I liked rea...

I have been looking for a distro that would work from a live USB with the original netbook so that I could watch movies online on my HDTV. With Firefox ESR I am finally able to do this (my Portable Firefox 20.0.1 on the Windows XP tiny version installed on my Eee PC 2G Surf struggles to cope with Yo...

I vote for the updated TEENpup 2010 Legacy edition which did work fine with my new hardware as well as the Eee PC 700. Please do ensure that the Games Pack compatibility is retained! Also was happy to have Wine work with the tips you gave me. It would be nice to have a .pet customised for your new e...

I for one believe in the simple living philosophy of Puppy - it should be easy to grab, quick to try and lightning quick to run completely in RAM! And while we are discussing the way to go for Puppy Linux in case it wants to take on the established Linux players - well we are getting there already -...

I did get the Games Pack up and running on the Teenpup Legacy 2009 live CD version using my P4 3 GHz with HT that has 2 GB RAM. The issue is that after reboot of the live CD none of the other apps work and only the 100 MB games pack apps work! :( Only way to continue playing the games (other apps ar...

Dear John, It is excellent support provided by the ever ready enthusiasts in the Puppy Linux community that has one and all go ga-ga over. I have learnt a great deal to tweak my systems and now frankly speaking am looking forward to a dual boot courtesy LinnWin project. (I hope that TeenPup Legacy 2...

Dear John, Thank you for the prompt reply. I did manage to get Wine successfully up and running on the frugal install of the official PuppyLinux kernel 4.20 using the .sfs file saved to my Hard Drive and selecting the .sfs to run at boot from Boot Manager. I will check out the game install at home. ...

John, Kudos to your clear and logical thought while designing this superb distro! It does meet its intended objective of being a complete OS for those looking for an alternative to Windows - especially booting off a 1MB SD card for me. Btw: I had to learn the trick of modifying "syslinux.cfg&qu...
