Darkcity,Sir , Thank you very much!!


One question , What do you consider "wide spread usage." ?

[darkcity]

@runtt21

"widespread usage" is of course a very vague term. What I'm trying to get at is listing versions which hasn't been superseded by bugfix versions-

for example 5.10 is truly superseded by 5.11 as they are very similar and 5.11 has many bugfixs

does 5.25 supersede 5.11 though? or have features been altered too much?

The Puppy 2 page needs help! http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Puppy2

Can anyone add a description of the differences between 2.14R 2.14X and 2.17?

[gnz11]

as to whether 511 is superceded by 520/525 my guideline is whether or not a cd update between versions break things.

this is the main thing to avoid between version numbers
even bugfix releases can behave badly

[darkcity]

Where can I find this info, or is it scattered ; -)

TEENpup / Legacy OS release info here > http://puppylinux.org/wikka/LegacyOS

[darkcity]

Thanks for maintaining wiki page.

What is the difference between the forthcoming teenpup and current Legacy OS?

[john biles]

Hello darkcity,
Legacy OS 2 built on Puppy 2.14 from early 2007

TEENpup 2011 Mini will be built on Puppy 4.21 from mid 2009. It was going to be called Legacy OS 4 Mini but time and desire not to rebrand all the apps means it will stick with the TEENpup name for this upcoming release.
(TEENpup 2011 Mini is an update of TEENpup 2010 Mini beta released in Feb 2010.)

Great, thanks for reply ; -)

Awesome work darkcity. Huge job.

One thing I have always wished for is some kind of database/grid that lists available Live CDs plotted against hardware they run perfectly on.

eg: It'd be neat to look up say, "Puppy Cielo Wary 5" and see that a Toshiba TE2100 is listed as running happily on that live CD.

Very useful for people like me who are trying to get retired pensioners on the net via Puppy, and who want out-of-the-box solutions that run perfectly from a fresh boot on a machine that has dhcp router access to the net.

Nothing for the user to know/do/understand. Just boot from live CD and go.

I guess this would be most useful for laptops as they tend to have more standard configurations than other forms of PC.

I'm trying to build up my own list of laptop versus live CD but it'll be a long while before i can work out how to present it on a webpage.

Within your list it is really helpful if a developer can maybe suggest what machine they were originally targeting that particular release for.

Very hard to represent such three-dimensional information on a two-dimensional webpage. I need a 3-D computer

check catdude's page

Excellent project.
I didn't see RacyNop in the list. Perhaps I missed it.

darkcity I have a similar page but not as comprehensive as your and is for a different purpose.

Mine is designed as a one stop shop rather than to provide information.

It's a bitch keeping it up to date with the fast pace the devs are working at.
