Hello,
I had a somewhat similar approach. But I'm not a developer! So I took the metropuppy which seemed very strong and fast and I just adapted to my needs.
tint2 suitable one, I removed wbar because it is often hidden by the window and replaced it with some shortcuts which one takes me to / usr / share / applications. Frisbee for internet connexion
.
In any case, congratulations for your work! surely a good puppy!

It is absolutely true, Sonic!
The Metropuppy based on lupu525. This goes for all hardware, and lupu525 favorite of the Hungarian forum...
The (retro) Precise more modern, the new kernel - but have many failed video option.
The improved OnlinePuppy based RP542 RP543 instead.
Your MetroPuppy very nice. Congratulations!
The tint2 menu seems to be better than wbar.
Some days must be added, to be rebuilt...

ok, I of course tried onlinepuppy!
on my old compaq presario 528 MB of RAM, it is much slower than the metropuppy. But I do not have bugs. Everything seems to work well!
I like the tint2 panel theming: really good.
Also the service pack upgrade only distribution which is really convenient.
I just added with obconf a pixel margin at the top left and bottom right (as in metropuppy), this allows for the menu by clicking on the edges of the screen Wink

Otherwise, it has a big menu, and more software. This is a strictly personal choice: I prefer the reverse.
Anyway, I'm in love with so .. metropuppy
that's it !

Preparation of a revised version.
- wbar instead of tint2 (launcher and menu)
- Lots of useful online application
Solved: sfs file name is shown, and several minor bugs
First startup of the network, and the tone you need to set.

Special thanks to the hungarian forum members who helped a lot of advice on the job: including D. J. Patikulusz, bigyula, azami, ati5. Murga-forum: RSH, nilsonmorales.

First of all thank you for your work.

Found it a mission to install Abiword. Basically package manager tells me it was installed in 2 different versions. It was not installed had to uninstall from the package manager to get a working Abiword plus dependencies. otherwise a quite fast experience.

Sound was also muted on boot up and network not connected.
