#1 Post by 1pritts2u »

ShepherdPup is a compact freely distributable tool for Christian evangelism. Focusing on bible study and personal evangelism, it can be easily remastered by individual evangelists or groups to suit the needs of community outreach.

The center piece, "pBible", is much like a dashboard connecting the user to several key integrated on line and offline study aids, resource links, news and radio sites. The initial package (92 megs) contains the King James, King James with Strong's, Spanish Reina Valera, Naves Topical, and several miniature topical aids. The self booting CD (128 megs) also contains 24 other installable public domain bibles and commentaries found in the /extras/ folder including various English, French, German, Dutch, and more ; plus Latin Vulgate, and Greek Septuagint translations (more are on their way).

To be used for personal study, for church kiosks/class labs/coffee shops/wifi centers, home bible study groups/conferences etc.. and more importantly for copying and distributing to family/friends/community.

ShepherdPup is a Puppy Linux derivitive built from Puppy Barebones 4.1.2 for reliability/compatability and contains:

* The Opera (Web/Email/Chat/RSS Browser) - Chosen for its "OperaShow" presentation component and open standards compliance.
* Flashplayer - (Used by Opera for GodTube etc...)
* MPlayer - For Multimedia
* Didwiki - For additional note taking and study collaboration
* pBible-0.1.5 - Bible Study Aid/Dashboard
* pBless-0.1.5 - Parallel text widget with plugins for OperaShow/HTML/PDF generation.
* iconv - For UTF-8 conversion
* (see barebones 4.1.2 for other standard apps like psip voip)
* (A wide variety of apps can be installed by the user - Abiword/OpenOffice etc...)

Offline Public Domain Bibles: ASV, BBE, DBY, DRB, ESC, KJV, SEPT, VAL, VUL, WBS, WEB, YLT, ALB, BAHASA, BARU, CEB, DAN, DUTCH, FIN, FRE, GAE, GRKM, LAMA, LUT

Offline Public Domain Commentary/Reference: NAVES, MHCC, RWP, Strongs Greek, Strongs Hebrew

Integrated Online Bible Resources (via biblos.com): AKJ, ASV,BBE, DBY, DRB, ERV, GWT, HEB, KJV, LBLA, NASB, PNT, TNT, VUL, WBS, WEB, WEY, YLT, GSB, JFB, KJT, MHC, MHCW, SCO, TSK, WES

pBible and pBless are bash and GTKDialog scripted, easily modified, reliant on common GNU text utilities and wget/curl. Offline bibles are gzip'd flat text files and installed/removed via petget.

Loading kernel freezes

I like your idea for ShepherdPup. I have a problem when trying to run from frugal install. Shepherd frezes when loading kernel drivers. I also installed pcPuppy and it loads fine. I am running Ubuntu 9.04 64 and edited my menu.lst just fine.

I'll just let you know, I'm not a professional web designer, I just know a bit of HTML and like mucking around with it. I won't be offended if you'd rather me not do it. :)

Here's a website I was messing around with.

The action page and about page are messed up, but at least it'll help you decide better :oops:

Also, see the download page for a bug fix of the MiniTopic file topic.txt.gz

Due to a naming conflict the "pBible" study aid component has been renamed "pBiblx". As such even the bible resources have been revamped and are no longer compatable with the former. I apologize for any inconvenience this may present.

Therefore ShepherdPup has been remastered and the previous bug fixes implemented.

Please upgrade! http://shepherdpuplinux.us/

PS - I will be posting this at the pBible thread as well.

Hi.
Downloaded shep, looks great! I'm hopeful it will be useful as well. I've been using Churchpup 3.01 with great success on this box, tried the Concordia, no joy.
I'm back to 3.01 after a short walk with shep to see how things went, if I can get internet to work I think it will be a great option.
Here's my setup: Dell Dimension 2100 desktop, 512 mb ram. Because of the way our office is, my dsl is wireless, with ralink rt2570 driver, WEP encryption. Churchpup sees the connection as rausb0, lets me set it up, loads it and I'm off and running. Shep sees the connection as wanl0, lets me set it up, says set up is successful, but when I go to the browser, no connection. This was one of the problems I had with other 4.1.2 pups, so it may just be the limits of my equipment.
If you have any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Regardless, great looking distro, may the Lord bless your journey!

Sorry, I have problems with my Broadcom BC4XXX WiFi as well, even with the same ndiswrapper config that worked through out til 4.1.1 and yet works in Mint and Ubuntu. I had to spring for another card not wanting to be diverted from my primary task.

You might want to peruse the forums for technical assistance.

I hope that you'll get to use ShepherdPup soon and please remember that the motivation behind Shep is for you to be able to share this freely with others as well!

Let us know if you solve your issue.

ShepherdPup Kiosk Edition

ShepherdPup is now available in a kiosk version for safe public access. Perfect for distribution as either a kiosk or given as a gift for street evangelism.

This version runs entirely from CD without accessing the host computers drives. It limits the user to the basic study and media and browsing needs. It removes editing and file management and disk partitioning facilities. X11 Control-Alt-Funct[x] capability has been removed. It shuts down without saving and reboots pristine in ram.

Best of all, ShepherdPup Kiosk Edition comes with several language bibles installed making it suitable for missions work. It weighs in at 100megs!

What a great idea! I wish you well.

Will CD's be for sale to those that are still on dial-up? Didn't see any mention on the web page.

Hadn't thought about it!

You bring up a good point. Might be cheaper for large groups as well if we could pool and mass duplicate. I'll look into it.

Thanks!

I am pleased to announce a revised release of the ShepherdPup - Personal Edition. This update is a major feature upgrade of the study components pBiblx-0.1.7 and pBless-0.1.7. It is recommended that all current ShepherdPup users upgrade to this revised version.

While most system components remain the same, the exciting advances in these two components justify this revision. (For application list see homepage at http://shepherdpuplinux.us or previous announcements)

ShepherdPup is a self contained freely distributable integrated Bible study suite. It is meant to be freely used and freely given. (See a introductory SlidyShow at: http://shepherdpuplinux.us/Demo1/pbiblx ... EMO1c.html)

What's New in pBiblx-0.1.7

(See our WhatsNew SlidyShow presentation at http://shepherdpuplinux.us/Demo2/demo_0.1.7.html)

Indexing:
1. Simple new note syntax allows for topical indexing of any note in the new pbiblx-index dialog.

New methods of filtering searches:
1. Indexing has ignited development of the new Jesus Index tool - search just quotes, parables, miracles, sermons etc...
2. Indexing has ignited development of the new Index Filter tool - search just one testament, one author, major or minor prophets, Psalms by theme, Pauline verses General Epistles, Pauline Pastoral Epistles, and much more.
3. Any note can be a filter thanks to indexing. You can modify or author your own.
4. Several of the stock personal resources included have already been indexed.

New Search capabilities:
1. Searches can be performed upon the results of other searches.
2. Searches can placed on individual list items within the table or the entire table or the displayed text.
3. New reading context capability by current chapter, previous or next chapter.
4. Google from pBiblx book:chapter lines or from pBless search input box.

Multimedia Links:
1. Simple new note syntax allows for multimedia links within personal notes.
2. Any note line now can be a WWW link, radio or audio link, video link, email send-to address link, image link, local file link. Files of links become indexed addressbooks, audio or video playlists, audio bibles..... Links are opened from within pBless directly.
3. This feature has been implemented in the totally revamped "extras:" tab.
4. This feature has been used to implement the new audio bible "Play" button. The audio bible playlist included links to the KJV from AudioTreasure.com.

New Plug-ins:
1. Text output can now be sent to Didiwiki "MyNote" pages. This ShepherdPup themed Didiwiki is setup with MyNote, MyJournal, and MyOrganizer divisions. A Wiki is a great way to keep notes due to cross linking. Your Wiki can be shared on-line with others for collaboration.
2. W3C Slidy presentation. Like the Operashow plug-in, text output is received by this slide show generator and sent to your web browser as HTML. Slidy is viewable by most JavaScript enabled browsers (Konqueror buggy on line).

Other:
1. Some cosmetic changes in pBless moving buttons to more convenient locations.
2. The Puppy Remaster Wizard had been modified to include the root pbiblx and spot Didiwiki folders so that when you share a ShepherdPup copy you share your personalized copy.
3. Scrot screenshot capture added. Shot1 script modified to delay 3 seconds.
