Bernie cool that you cared about Forth and that Knoppix has Forth in the repo? Gforth, PForth and yForth are in the Debian repositories used by synaptic package manager in Knoppix DVD. However, bigFORTH is not. I downloaded it here: http://download.polytechnic.edu.na/pub4/download.sourceforge.net/p...

Forth has always been my favorite computer language. I started with the public domain figForth version for the C64 and continued with the FIG version on Intel 86 processors. I taught Forth in community college night classes for three years in the late 80‘s. I had to blackmail them a bit to get to te...

Exactly what “big

I frequently ride a bicycle around a hundred miles per day. Not bad at all. Still working my way up to the century rides, hopefully this year. Missouri has a bike trail system that simplifies century rides. http://www.bikekatytrail.com/ It’s a former rail line, almost flat. Where I usually ride the...

another way to fix the utc issue I installed a internet time protocal program from debain. Enabled aptitude to auto check and install dependance's and resolve dependance's conflicts. I don't have any idea why I did it the long roundabout way for so long. I finally realized I could just set the time...

Bernie_by_the_Sea, Read and learn. Learn what? That information in wikis is always incomplete, often subjective, and never to be relied on? I knew that already. Do be sure to let wikipedia know that they can delete their site due to the aforementioned reasoning, meh. You seem to have serious readin...

Bernie_by_the_Sea, Read and learn. Learn what? That information in wikis is always incomplete, often subjective, and never to be relied on? I knew that already. Most software in Slackware uses the configuration mechanisms supplied by the software's original authors; there are few distribution-speci...

My take is Slackware is unfriendly to new users, IE hard to get a handle on and hostile to people who prefer GUI solutions. Why should your take matter to anyone? Not everyone thinks Slackware is unfriendly to new users. Not everyone thinks it’s hard to get a handle on. Not everyone thinks it’s hos...

DangerDog! is not a general interest version. Its sole purpose is to entice and trap malware. Entice malware? Wait.. huh? You going to have some scantily clad software out there hoping to lure in some malware who's too busy looking at some luscious bits? How are you going to entice software which i...

Can't leave well enough alone can you? Each time I think I can leave I get called back. And where is the puplet that Bernie_by_the_Sea or Bernie BS...more likely was going to release? Too hard mate was it? Mr Freakin' Perfecto. You didn't have it in you old man? Pretty hard when all you have at your...

Except that OpenSource is the exact opposite of a free market, pure socialism. In a free market the best ideas come from individual inventors and entrepreneurs. Users have little or nothing to say about the product other than buying or not buying it. Sigh... Seems like some people have trouble leav...

Likewise, all the different flavors speak to the high level of expertise and creativity in the Puppy Community. Someone can build a version that meets their needs for running their music studio, and share it. Others get involved, post bug features, and it goes from there. Kind of like a free market...

Bernie, I found this piece of yours in the context you posted it. It needs some serious going over. It is not good at all. I'll take it a bite at a time. (what were you thinking?) The highly active Puppy forums coupled with extremely weak leadership by Barry has led to the mess Puppy is today. Barr...

Tending to keep on topic more than you in this thread, the future of Puppy depends on moving into the mainsteam. Who said the future of Puppy depends on moving into the mainstream? You? That doesn't make it right! Who said anyone wants to "defeat Ubuntu on the battlefield"? You? That also...

[quote="Jasper"]by_the_sea,

You used the word “observe

Since you agree with Bernie you might enlighten us on exactly what economic phenomenon he observed and how he has improved and helped Puppy. I said nothing about "economic" or "phenomenon." Try looking at the real world once in a while instead of relying solely on your own imagi...

Hi by_the_sea, My response to your question is yes. What about my question before that one, "What’s a synonym for observe?" Why is your response to my simple question avoidance at any cost? The obvious answer is that you are clueless, careless, totally incompetent and worse than useless. ...

Puppy fits into two of those niches, namely a system for learning Linux and a system for antique computers, a system for those who can’t afford anything better. As soon as one acquires some basic skills and/or more disposable income one should move on to a better operating system. Of course some wi...

[quote="Jasper"]Hi by_the_sea,

Do you now claim (i.e. state to be true) that “particular
