How about it ? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Platform It would have built in touch screen support for tablets, and get Puppy finally on smartphones... _________________ Don't poop it down... Pup it Up ! http://pupitup.org/ |

But it wouldn't be Puppy, it would be Firefox OS... _________________ DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS - - - Classic Puppy quotes - - - Beware the demented serfers! |

It would be 1,000,000% impossible. Firefox OS uses it's own kernel while Puppy uses Linux as the kernel. To totally different worlds here. And plus I can't imagine doing anything on such a tiny screen. Everything is better on a larger screen (especially movies) BTW, I can't understand how anyone could enjoy a HD movie on such a tiny screen. It's like you have to squint to see anything. _________________ Desktop: Intel 945PSN Board, 3.2Ghz P-IV "Prescott 2M", 2GB RAM, 160GB WD HDD (IDE connected as SATA), Slackware 14.1, LMDE, Akita Beta 16 and Puppy Arcade 11 Netbook: Acer AOD257 with 2GB upgrade, Slackware 14.1 and LMDE |

That is apparently 100% wrong . https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Introduction
But It's not me to woof up a Puppy with FirefoxOS binaries . |

crap, maybe I should've read the articles on it (not like I care anyways). _________________ Desktop: Intel 945PSN Board, 3.2Ghz P-IV "Prescott 2M", 2GB RAM, 160GB WD HDD (IDE connected as SATA), Slackware 14.1, LMDE, Akita Beta 16 and Puppy Arcade 11 Netbook: Acer AOD257 with 2GB upgrade, Slackware 14.1 and LMDE |

The point of Puppy: Debian, Ubuntu, and Slackware is to have a common base for apps. All Ubuntu apps. I`ve tried in any of the Precise Puppies have worked. I don`t know what kind of app. base Firefox O.S. has, but why another Puppy? Puppy use to be an Orphan O.S., no real large base of apps. to speak of... But now these Puppies are part of various families of O.S.s. These distro`s apps. need to be made into SFS or RoxApp no-install packages. This so they`re easily added and removed, and don`t take up Save file space. RoxApp type packages have the advantage that they don`t use union layers. . |

The point in Firefox O.S. is to do everything inside Firefox, so it doesn't have apps like Puppy. _________________ DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS - - - Classic Puppy quotes - - - Beware the demented serfers! |

disciple; Yes, and there`s advantages to the "browser platform". Browser apps. are especially nice for programmers, one app. runs in all O.S.s. But the Q remains the same... Does it have a Handbrake equivalent, etc.? |
