Hi folks - I saw this dog training manual at the junk store and had to take pictures of it - it made me laugh. Thought you might have a laugh too. Flying "Ultra Puppy" in a cape ... lol

Dear Puppy folks, I've been using slacko 5.6 smoothly from a live USB for a year or two now on an hp elitebook 8530p. In the last couple weeks, my browsers have begun to act strangely. If I try to play flash video clips on youtube (for example) - at a certain point many browser processes will open a...

So my mom called me this morning because there was social drama happening & I was trying to change my time settings and audio settings and accidentally hit the firewall button while I was distracted. I closed stuff out and we had a wonderful talk, then I went to the grocery store, came home, put...

I've used Puppy on a usb to remove viruses from my machine at work and my coworker's machine several times over the past year. Works really well. I've used Clam and that worked nicely. There's another software I've tried - it name started with an A. Maybe Avast, or Avira? Can't remember. It worked n...

So difficult to try to look away! Can ... not ... stop haha.

Totally. I chalk it up to having an acute attack of stupid. While you're watching the bootup instructions that you could be using at this very second to accomplish it easily, you go and do something else. *sigh*

Thank you guys - great stories and articles. I was thinking about this virus & malware question today reading the news, seeing articles about the BIOS Lighteater thing. I was reading some comments about coreboot, u-boot, stuff I don't even know what on earth it is, but my attention perked up abo...

Ya know, hacking one's own forgotten password sounds kinda fun to me as a learning experience - until I get to the frustrated impatient part. My friend Karen gave one of my Puppy discs to her very young son who ended up figuring out how to use x-lock, I think, and then forgot the password. What we d...

Actually this thread seems like a grumbling volcano that gives a rumble now and then There's always concerned newcomers - I was one of them, I think. without a sniff of a problem was preceded by some considerable research on the subject rather than sticking my short neck out Yea that right there - ...

Except apparently I don't know how to use the 'quote' button. *sigh*

I think I should go to bed now. Cheers, security people.

Great conversation everybody - thank you! And what makes them experts on security..... though at least in this case its a useful suggestion. Like politicians recommending healthy eating options, sadly often decisions and recommendations are made by those who only have a laymans knowledge of the subj...

Me bones need warm & cold too. Hot & cold running water - such a glory of our world, especially when you don't have it. The hot water gushing out of the broken pipes in winter, or what have you. My old bones definitely need some help. Anyway. I'm sure this has been posted before, but I'll po...

I'm no expert on this stuff at *all*, but if it helps - I've been using Slacko 5.6 as a live cd and a live usb flash drive since Windows xp stopped support. What was that, a year ago now? Or two? Can't remember. Anyway, yea I was concerned about virus/malware security stuff. But in a whole year +, I...

This avidemux 2.5.2 worked wonderfully for me today on Slacko 5.6! I love that it's a .pet too, since I'm running on a live cd today. Thank you!

Wow, guys - thank you for continuing this conversation. It really confused me a while ago when I tried to check-mark all four options and the advert blocker would hang & not complete as a gui. It took a while to figure out that technobeta had gone down and not to check it. I really like the chan...

Just tried this .pet for the first time tonight using slacko 5.6 and it worked SO well. Thank you so much! This is such a helpful thing for me.

Ubiquiti SWX-SRX and SR71 both worked for me nicely on slacko 6.

Oh - one other thing that may help. I think I saw someone else post about this in another thread. It can be a hardware problem. Check the order in which your antennas are attached to your wifi card. If the antenna attachments are out of order, it can produce this wifi connection trouble.

Editing earlier post. With these updated dhcpcd's for slacko, I'm getting the fastest connection results with frisbee and peasywifi. Taking some time to try the different options correctly, I've been getting really good results. It's really working well for me. Thank you - very much.

These paired versions of 1.3 and 6.5.0 have worked *really* well for me over the last several days.
