Vintage is charming

#41 Post by Pelo »

I have a puppy 411 xfce With muppy-filer that i don't find again in the forum.
Puppy 415 on load, but it's not the one. Don't mind.
Sure these old Puppies get interest by their desktop. I aim to remaster newest Pyppies like Slacko with vintage dress.

I liked the old 4.11/412 Retro for an old laptop I own... (it's really just a test bed these days).

It's a Compaq Armada, PII 333MHz, 256MB RAM...

So a few weeks back I pulled up the "new" lupumini, and put it on. It worked just fine on this very "Retro" machine. I didn't push it hard, and didn't test much, other than booting, and such...

Je vois 'la vie en rose' driving my 421 en la costa brava.
Just added Mplayer. Why more ?
Puppy 6.3 ? uneeded stuff to decorate, to go faster but these Puppies don't run anymore in RAM.
Just looking for an old screeny. snapall-0.1-i486.pet should fit. Merci gentlemen to get these 412 and 421 LTS.
For me A puppy is a Puppy as long as it runs full in RAM ,

@tuxtoo, Just to say thanks. I'm still using 412 and 421. Excellent for low-end machines, and still viable today.

I have some really old PCs, and I am going to try the 412 on them. The neocities.org site is really great! :D

I think that I first discovered Puppy back at about 0.95 -- played with it, and found it "cute" but not really ready for prime time (too limited for my needs).

I came back around to it at about 4.11. That worked pretty well on my old 333MHz PII laptop (I believe that it has 256MB RAM -- as much as I could cram into it, and it would support). I believe that I have also run 5.25 Retro on that old beastie. I don't play with it much any more, since I've acquired more (newer) old laptops to use as "backup". It's had a flaking screen for a while, and last time I pulled it out I discovered that it has a small crack on the edge -- showing some color bleedage in some spots.

The only problem with those older systems is finding a browser that websites will tolerate. Most of the new browsers simply consume all available resources -- knocking old machines out of the running... And most of the websites find it "necessary" to cram as much graphics, and layers of javascript as possible into their code -- making their sites almost unusable even with a high powered machine and modern browser... :evil:

Here in the US, people just throw away machines with WinXP and similar vintage. Free for the taking... ;-)
