Biggest use of Puppy: hanging ten, surfing the net.

#1 Post by purple_ghost »

With the addition of NTFS support Puppys' biggest use is now likely to become as a web surfing platform. Refugees from Windows Security problems would find Puppy exactly what is needed.

To that end. Someone might create a DotPup of an childrens internet filter. Perhaps a script which would automatically add to Puppy the few things which would be part of a websurfing machine. Java, Flash, firewall, play music from inside the browser. A program to move Bookmarks from Internet Explorer. A program to move settings from Outlook Express or whatever email client which M$ uses in Windows XP.

The next question is: How do we let the M$ internet world about the possibility of using Puppy on a CD as the answer for the web surfing.

Good suggestions - let's hope this can be incorporated in the PuppyCE OpenOffice release.

But even if not, the user can do some of these, like the importation of browser bookmarks.

Here's a really cool test of Puppy's Flash. Maybe it could be included in Puppy's bookmarks.
