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...)

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

"1724cf45fb98a823dcad60b4dc6459c2" is correct and has been updated on the Download page.

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

Thanks!

BugFix_07-30-08: Recent history function not working on calls to xbible_offline.sh. Gunzip this:
http://shepherdpuplinux.us/Downloads/pBible/pbible_func_history.sh.gz

to your /usr/local/pbible directory.

[1pritts2u]

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.

[linus1972]

i just started opera in newest shep download and homepage is

Please post when new version out
thanks

PS
Not being at all critical

I love shep!
It's great work:)

[pudgypup]

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!

[1pritts2u]

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.
