Just finished downloading this version of Puppy for a test run.

LXDE is a nice, light desktop. Heavier than JWM, but JWM was never a favorite of mine. Since LxPup caught me since I first tried it, I'll give this release a test run.

HOWTO: Access a .2/.3/.4fs filesystem

Yeah, I goofed up my lxpupsave-testing.4fs save file. When I try to boot from it -- I get a Kernel Panic (no fun!) message. If you're in the same position, you're probably feeling a bit of "panic" yourself. I can't guarantee this will work every time. It depends on how badly damaged your s...

Suggestion:

Change text to:
"Don't buy a new computer;
Download a better one."

Other than that, your website is very nicely done. It has an elegant look and feel with good information.

The ads are not a problem.
