I assumed the name was chosen to attract attention. So far, it hasn't attracted the wrong kind of attention to this forum. If it does, let me know and I'll deal with it. |

and how will you deal with it? why dont you just do it now? i intend to attract whatever attention i see fit from the name of the linux distro that i founded. Consider this: What would happen if i called my distro "GayPuppy" or "Satanic Antichrist Witch Linux that harms small animals?" If people here and you are so concerned about the wrong kind of attention, i may just make things difficult for you. If you googled GayPuppy or the other long named suggestion you will see alot more offensive material than if you google Pussy Linux. Gay porn is still porn. Even if due to political correctness gone wild and the emphasis on gay rights means that gay porn is more tolerated than heterosexual porn, its still porn. What would happen if i did change my distro name to "GayPup"? I would make such a fuss about it that the distro would probably be banned from here but I would have a defense, because if the distro was banned i could play the discrimination card. I would make a noise so loud about the forum not liking GayPup or the word Gay that it would definately attract the wrong attention. What if i changed the name to: "Satanic Antichrist Witch Linux that harms small animals?" Its the same scenario. Yes it would attract attention to the forum, and you would have to live with it because, if it was banned from here then I would play the discrimination against my free choice of religion so loud that it would attract the wrong kind of attention to the forum. The point im trying to make is that i dont care about your political correctness and how it shuns the name of my distro. But if you make it an issue then i will too because hey.... im 100% behind my distro and im committed and ill do whatever is best for my distro and creating a scene like that in an over defensive move would actually generate more interest in the distro. Either way its win win for Pussy or GayPup or Witch Linux or whatever. The name Pussy isnt hurting anything so dont pretend it is or will. *i have nothing against gays, infact if i was to name my distro GayPup, this would be a pro gay move. I have nothing against witches and if i named my distro Witch Linux this is a pro witch move. So please dont make out that im against either groups. Political correctness goes both ways. Its fashionable for political correctness to favor minority groups that have previously not been tolerated well. Dont make me whip out Hitler Linux just for the fun of it. Please do not flame my political views, political correctness demands that im tolerated and treated with respect no matter what personal choices i make. See how annoying it is when someone plays the political correctness.... lets try not to offend anybody.... mentality? im annoyed because i called the distro Pussy because its similar to the other 4 legged animal Puppy. The wallpaper has picture of a cat. Everything is labeled as Meow and other cat related words. How is this related to anything else? Its people who are on the political correctness bandwagon shouting that Pussy can mean other things that are offensive in other countries so ill have nothing to do with it unless you change the name. Its fantastic how people will choose to support a distro not because of technical features or how it works but because of the name. Hey here is an idea, how about you rename the /etc dir of Puppy to "super cute anime baby dog" and replace all the files listed in whatever file manager you use with brightly coloured icons instead and call the OS Nice Cuter Slick Puppy Android if the name is so important. Im sorry but i cannot even relate to the argument of i dont like the name so i wont look at your OS. The closest i can identify with that in my mind is something like: "Ill never use the linux command 'grep' because i dont like the name, i prefer to hobble along with 'find'" Why is there a file in /bin called cat? Maybe you should rename it to Puppy, and your OS will get more popular? the Pussy name was only supposed to be temporary as I intended to make Pussy into a Puppy, and so it would eventually be called Puppy. or the basic idea would be adopted by puppy devs and the Pussy OS would die after giving birth to a new superior race of dogs. Pussy has gotten so Popular that its here to stay and i really dont care if anyone here likes the name or not. Infact i dont want my OS in the hands of developers who believe the name is more important than the OS itself. I think this is how things like MS Windows get so messed up or Ubuntu turns from something really good to useless. |

Somehow, many (mostly Christians and others) feel that a word or a reference is intolerable. Thus should be destroyed. (This comment is NOT a religious attack for I am Christian. I am expressing an idea.) I don't think the majority of this community, being of worldly backgrounds, "care" about the the label that the distro owner is using. Speaking for myself ONLY, I been moved/swayed/affected/misguided/raped/cheated or any of that by the product (or its label, for that fact. It, to me, is simple; another of the list of Linux offerings that seemingly has used a RAM basis for putting things on a desktop for user use. Maybe most of us could stop and simple accept the product, while understanding that the product is much more important in what it advances than its label. This is just a simple viewpoint from a simple mind to the "simply users". I favor no one and offer this as a middle ground view. We're all (I think) interested n the advancement of Puppy Linux (why else are we here). And many that do come here bring ideas and have asked questions that have inspired all of us. We need all the fresh inspirational efforts we can muster to advance Puppy. It is maturing and its happening rather rapidly. How many have notice the size of the PCs that our community is using now? The developers, this year, are going to take advantage of that for useful purposes as this RAM based OS continues its trek. Inspiration for the advancement of Puppy Linux in the "Puppy Linux Discussion Forum'! We need it all coming from anyone and everyone. Let's not let a label, any label, stop our inspirational juices from breeding in this Puppyland. Further, I sure, if a forum discussion need be opened on the topic of "allowed words", hopefully,
Hope this helps _________________ Get ACTIVE; Create Circles; Do those good things which benefit the people's needs! We are all related ... Its time to show that we know this! Google's Puppy Search Engine |

Edit Now I have it the best name for your distro is: The Absolute Politically Correct Linux. It is 100% compatible with Debian stable edition. Re the Debian developers reaction? Maybe they read you tried to get Puppy devs involved? Would that not make them this reluctant to help you out? A kind of competition they don't like? Maybe I am too pessimistic. AntiX folks seems to not dislike Puppy but them are Mepis so maybe that explain it. Is Mepis 100% compatible? Is Nimblex 100% compatible or are both these seen as forks? Knoppix is a fork? _________________ I'm a noob so I use Google Search of Puppy Forum |

Pussy is a better fork [so to speak] Glad sickgut is still here. Can not say I ever wanted a Pussy. . . . and now back to the manly pursuit of penguins . . . 
Be Kind Guys, it keeps the dogs happy and lulls the enemies into a false sense of not being a menu item . . .

I think we all know if you use google or other uptodate search engines there is an option there to filter out Porn and other offensive things, use safe search with the setting set as ON. You can look up anything on the internet with safe search set to off and get a sexual connentation. My ex and i wanted to buy someone a leather brief case with a penguin logo on it. What came up on the search engine was pictures and websites to do with girls dressed up as penguins wearing leather BDSM type equipment that had a penguin theme etc. This was in 1998. Its not my problem if people dont use their filters. |

lso
Ive never sought any attention from debian devs at all. There is no point as far as im concerned as its a large cold community, not like Puppy that is small and everyone knows each other. if you use one of the predone debian desktop isos then you will see it is horribly broken and bloated and on a completely opposite path than Puppy. However their base OS with nothing much installed is a really good starting point. I do however follow the principle of not breaking compatibility with debian, pussy must remain technically an awesomely optimized debian remaster that altho is purposefully changed to become something Puppy like, is not outside the realms of debian and doesnt introduce anything that may clash with the package management and installing stuff, This helps on 2 fronts: #1) compatibility is maintained with the debain repos. As soon as we introduce any conflicting factor we loose the whole reason Pussy was made: to leech of someone else. #2) in the early stages of the development of the OS, users can get support from the debain irc support channels. There is nothing in pussy that makes it not 100% debian and all advice given will work on Pussy. There is no need to mention your running pussy because the debian people dont know what it is. And obviously catroll-panel is an addition so dont mention that. Most debian devs run debians that are more modified than Pussy, they run their own versions of whatever control panel they personally have made over the last 10 years that is a collection of custom scripts, they run a different background and splash boot screen than the standard debian. If you have an issue and need help, just as the debian community and they will help. Just use common sense and it will work. Pussy will grow and we will have out own supportive community but in the mean time if you have a technical problem and its taking too long to get your answer on the forum or at #pussylinux then ask the debian people. Also something cool is that Pussy is ready to deploy onto ARM devices basicly overnight. Everything in the debain repos are already compiled for ARM. As soon as i see an suitable tablet platform or maybe even Rasp Pi, it will take only a day to deploy Pussy onto it. The only reason this hasnt happened yet is because i have not found a worthy platform. When there is something that is sub $100 tablet or ARM computer that can run xorg, jwm and roxfiler at a speed that is more than a crawl then you can bet that Pussy will be one of the first linux OSes available for it. You see there are major advantages to remaining compatible with debian, another is that when pussy gets old and its time to release a new verison, its simply a 1 day job to upgrade from squeeze to wheezy or whatever other new debain is the stable. once pussy is completed, it takes very little time to maintain it or even to release a new version of it based on whatever new debian is released. |

sickgut has a point, if you don't switch on the safe filter in google and use the correct search terms, you're bound to get some "strange" results. Search for pussy+linux and google will return lots of "proper" results. Here is another example, say you wanted to find out how your blackberry phone deals with or saves cookies, you would type in: blackberry+phone+cookies as opposed to just blackberry+cookies which would return a whole bunch of, er well blackberry cookie recipes. |
