well our school definitely doesn't get new hardware every 3 years. they've even still got some pentium 1s in use.

Do you guys talk to people and discover the majority don't know what Linux is, they've heard the word?

I ask because I haven't conducted a 'personal survey' since a few years back

1. When I mention Puppy Linux to people in passing [I take every opportunity to do so]...
No-one has ever heard of it. Sad

2. My wife and daughter [and son and his wife when visiting] go on the web using Lupu-526->Firefox-3.6.18 because that live CD-RW is in the drive at all times. Very Happy

They have no problem using it.

3. My son and his family moved to London last week, and he is trying to fix his laptop [restored the XP factory default install, but it's not working well], and get his desktop set up for use.
So he began making use of the Multipup CD-RW I gave him some time back, together with the matching copies of my own pupsave files I gave him.
At this point he has Boxpup-431 in use.
I'll give him a copy of my Lupu-526_CD-RW+Lupusave when he comes up here from London for a week beginning next week.
His Dell_Inspiron_6400 trackpad->[flickering] and keyboard->[mistyping] are malfunctioning in both Windows and Puppy.
Anyone know how to fix?

Hello everybody
I am from Serbia and 52 years and I think that good manners needs to write
something sometimes
So hi
I think this is my first post here because I do not know much about linux
to help growing Puppy which I allready used more than a year,like my sons two and my
wife too.It is wonderfull and enjoyfull and I feel very comfortable with Lucid 525.I
try to introduce to a few friends with half succses.
We have linux comunity and it is developing everyday but it is minor compare with Windows .
So we have some problems sometimes with our cirilic letters but we solve it with
good help of Dejan 555 because we share the same language I think
Long live PUPPY

" just read your last post on whirlpool and your issue's now resolved, yes? "

Yes! How strange is that?

I am going to try that on my Telstra customers XP comp,
with Teamviewer, and see if it works for her.

Is our mighty advertising machine (WOM - Word Of Mouth) and budget (two empty sardine cans) no match for the likes of Guigle and Microtheft?

Hello,
I also have tried till I`m blue in the face..
I sometimes think if I told them it cost TWICE as much as Windows, they might listen... Rolling Eyes

I could list the reasons, but we all know them well....
Just seems like a no-brainer to me...
Maybe that`s the problem... Wink
