A New Puppy Linux Host

#1 Post by ally »

hey all

as some of you know I have been collecting puppies from the wild, places like the wayback machine and private hosts before they disappear with the hope of one day making my collection available to all

that day is here although the upload process is taking me far too long due to poor connection speeds, however, they will all go up eventually

the collection is being hosted by archive.org (the wayback machine) and should be perpetual

of the 183 files I've managed to upload to date there have been around 200 downloads so it's already working

this is brand new as of 10 minutes ago so it may take a day or two to get settled

I will also upload deltas and then pet collections in the future


https://archive.org/details/puppylinux

if anybody near lincoln uk can provide temporary fast internet I would be grateful

:)

That is WAY COOL.

In a couple days I may have a few to share as well, if you don't already have them.

I found the corepup derivative on the site.

I have more info: it was based off of Puppy 412 Barebones (by WolfPup) and remastered without extra themes using woofy-0.91!

I know because I created it, i just found my old thread with info related to it.

LOL :-\

500 GB is impressive!

Great Job! , you are to be commended , for this colossal effort!


Dream host , my current provider has awesome tubes(internet connection speed)

I used wget, for the current set of iso's and it only took about 5-7 mins granted it's not that big, 5 puppies at 200MB each, along with their md-5 hash sums

Even with all that awesome speed, i think I would get rather tired too!

But anyways, very Grateful for all your efforts.

it's people, like you that make puppy so awesome!

Sending much puppy love from my kennel to yours,

Saturn

I think that the first Puppy I played with was 0.95 or 0.98... And then I didn't get back to looking at it until about 4.11...

I may still have that old 0.9x ISO laying around...

excellent

3 more to the list.....

you can upload them yourself to the archive.org (you need to create a login) to the 'community' (hit upload and follow the instructions)

they can then be moved by the admin (@ archive) to the appropriate puppy page

if I'd known how long it would take before I started I may not have done it!

I'm really pleased that so many people have downloaded, makes it worthwhile.

I find it very sad that devs hard work can get lost in the ether and this was the best way I could contribute to the community

Hi.

Really?

2000?

2000 Puppy Linux Operating Systems?

This is really sick, isn't it?

Might be any reason, why Puppy Linux isn't that "Major Distro" as some people over here do want/wish it to be?

Once there was a guy who did passed away (which means: he dies) in front of a bakery shop. He couldn't make a decision -out of 2000 breads- what kind of bread to buy! :lol:

Thank you Ally again for this effort it has been fun to revisit some of the early Pups - they can still be useful and updated.

As for 2000 well, many derivatives - fascinating innovations Slaxerpup for example and a lot of innovations going back into the official Puppy. I don't think personally 2000 variants stops Puppy being more popular than it is. A think its rating is really good and lets face its usuage world wide is a huge.

I have nearly finished to bulk of the upload and have had over 4300 downloads to date so far, I hope that if we keep it active it will stay permanently

I'm keen to collect more so everybody please did through your collections so they can be posted up

at the time my collection started I was a little constrained by drive space and download speed so did not collect devx, pets, sfs's and deltas

I have started to remedy that now but many have come off the net so again please get in touch to add any files you have

cheers

:)
