Forum member gnz11 posted this link of the sad news of Nooby's passing to our IRC channel ##b0rked (formerly known as ##puppylinux and ##arch-ftw) on Freenode. From all indications, Nooby faced his fate with courage far greater than I could ever imagine mustering up. In a living tribute to Nooby, pe...

thanks everyone, i found Puppy 5.2.8, so this is not an issue anymore. An observation: by taking the easy way out, you've innocently (or not so innocently ) cheated yourself from learning something about Linux, Puppy, and WM/tray configuration.

And I didn't even know there are 5 in there, I knew kloeri was one, all of them are apearing in user list as regular users so there's no reason for some irrational fear. 1) If you didn't know there are five Freenode staffers regularly parked in #puppylinux, perhaps it's time to hone one's ChanOp sk...
