This page has gone missing or been deleted or incorporated into other pages? Not sure who did this. No 'revision' option comes up so I do not know what was there previously. I started to play with settings to find it and have decided to stop before I mess up completely . . .

http://www.puppylinux.org/wiki/developm ... -todo-list

Any help in finding and restoring or solving this mystery appreciated :)

a wiki search for 'todo' revealed
http://www.puppylinux.org/wiki/archives ... -todo-list
I am listed as the last editor but I cannot think why I would change the category.

btw
Yesterday I removed the category list from the side of the wiki pages (except the front one), is it better with more space?

Thanks Will, :)
Yesterday I removed the category list
I would say yes, mainly because the categories made little sense :)

I run Puppy 4.1.2 Retro on a Pentium 200 Mhz 32MB Ram mini laptop daily and it runs very well and fast enough for most things. The mini laptop is from circa 1998, so I'd have to agree that 4.0 isn't just for new hardware.

I've run it on 133 Mhz & 32MB Ram with similar performance. It's circa 1996.

I have a lot of old spec machines and run some version or another of Puppy 4.1.2 Retro on all of them.

With Linux I no longer feel the need to buy a new computer every other year. It's been about 5 years since I bought new and I doubt I will ever buy new again.

I personally think Puppy is the best success story out of all the Linux Distros. I have something like 200 Distros on CD's and yet I have mainly always used Puppy because it just works on everything.

Just wanted to say something to that effect and not meaning to hijack the thread.

Is anyone working on this?
http://puppylinux.org/

Code: Select all

You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Seems to be down?

HostGator took us down AGAIN for high CPU usage! What th'!! They claimed it was because of 50 simultaneous accesses to the main page! I think we need to be thinking about another host. That's just rubbish, to kill the site without warning like that; not once but twice! :evil:

Anyway, I made some changes to caching, etc and that seemed to satisfy them for the moment so it should be back now. :roll:

You would have to wonder.
Whirlpool use Bulletproof.
Probably way too costly.

Bad enough that the forum goes down regularly.
This is not a jab on the nose at John Murga.
Just pure frustration.

But with Puppy gaining traction it is a real turn off
for first timers.....Puppy is now Number 9 at Distrowatch...
even before final release of Puppy 4.2.

Hi there.

I was wondering if I could get permission to edit:

http://www.puppylinux.org/localization/espanol

Or maybe I can post a wiki page and the someone can edit that?

That'd be easier. I have some php skills and if I can help/gather enough energy I will. :)

Always so lazy :P

cpu usage issue

#34 Post by raffy »

The issue has been CPU usage, and the use of static pages for frequently accessed pages can help. This will be done soon.

Our stats at puppylinux.org are 11,500 hits daily and 180 GB transfer per month.

If you want to assume editor role, just PM me or whodo with your username in drupal.

On the News item and other pages
I would like to click on the add image icon and upload or use an image
. . . but it is not working? Anyone know why?

My feeling is the comments section on the front page is a good way of keeping a changing page :)

The wiki index is much more useful with search
and latest posts are available to check what is happening

Spam in comments

#37 Post by drongo »

Comments section is a good way of keeping a changing page. (I assume we want this as bait for googlebots?) Unfortunately you can end up with a page full of spam until the mods delete it from the main forum.

(Maybe I am mistaken here, are the comments just scraped form the main forum or are they from a separate comments section?)

I can't see a simple solution to that, maybe an automatic time-delay of some sort so that the spam never gets through to the website frontpage?

Recently we have had some spam from Eastern Europe. Please keep an eye out for it. Could be on the comments section of wiki pages were I found some . . . May be bots, may be hackers . . . :roll:

Have just recently deleted 4/5 spam postings, as I'd tried before but for some reason couldn't edit
I did report it in the forum spam thread, but no-one took any action, so I went at it again
