I installed PClinuxOS 13.06 FullMonty64 to a hp desktop pc.
It is a 3.9 GB download so that took some time.
I installed it on an external usb 3.0 hard drive.
It's loaded for bear, a lot of applications, VLC,XBMC, and many more
come with it.
It's fast too.
It's pretty impressive so far.

EDIT:I installed it on my AAO netbook as well.
It ran well with the gallium driver (except xbmc was slow) but I
installed the proprietary ati driver for my hd4200 card and it's much
better now.
FullMonty64 runs fast on this netbook too.

The lxde PClinux is out , its super fast and charming.http://news.softpedia.com/news/PCLinuxO ... 2851.shtml

Code: Select all

[root@:~]# uname -r
3.8.3

How much RAM does it need to run?

Can it be installed to USBflash?

Does it support NTFS fully?

Does it support USB3.0?

Does it support SDXC UDMA flash memory cards?

Nooby,

I have been looking at Trisequel, which was on Linux Format cover disk 171.

It is totally free software so includes gnash rather than flash. Used in offline mode it was really impressive. I could play all the mp3, mp4, wmv and flv files I threw at it. Flv simply played by (double) clicking the file - something I cannot do with Windows out of the box - not sure about Puppy.

Being based on Ubuntu I know it should be possible to get it to boot from a frugal install - you've done it in the past - if only I remembered how!

Hello, people.

As for me, I tried Debian Squeeze LXDE Live a couple of days ago.

It was a real consolation to see how lazy the Debian Live developers had been in categorizing the menu items -- as compared to the "logic" and effort that we invest in the creation of our own Puppy menus. An example of that sloppy menu can be found at http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... ost#709758

I never understood why they need to add those "applications" at all - or actually why someone even bothered to make them. Xeyes for example is a program with 2 circles that move around following mouse poiner - so what's use of that, just wasting space and cluttering the menu. And, please don't say Puppy's menu is more logical , and what size are menu icons in Puppy, 8 pixels I think, so that can also be called lazy

It's logical to use 8x8 or 16x16, but not 64x64.

Zorin OS 7 ...... based on Ubuntu. Looks much better to me than that mess called Unity.

I have Zorin on a USB stick using rcrsn51 isobooter
but I get curious on what you accomplish with the code

Code:
live@live:~$ uname -r
3.8.0-23-generic
live@live:~$

what does that do for you?

Tells the kernel version.

Ah okay. Thanks for your patience with a noob question.

I've recently installed the April version of Mint Debian and even on my old machine it works pretty well; Mint Debian is definitely lighter than the Ubuntu-based version. The only drawback so far was that I couldn't get Firefox to load, so I had to install IceWeasel instead (and I added IceApe and Opera for good measure).

I also strongly recommend adding Xfce to Debian-based distros - they go together very well and do in this case too.

Another new 'buntu spin...... Australis. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS w/ Mate and all sort of goodies.

Hi all, this...

whoops don't know how you guys got your screenshots inserted?
just check attached file please

...is my new toy and would just like to say thank you again to Barry and everyone who put all the hard work into developing these distros!

I'd also like to add at this point that I'd like to be able to watch bbc iplayer and other streaming services like itvplayer etc. but don't know which version of flash to install for this version of puppy, is there a pet or indeed an sfs?
If there is an sfs how to enable sfs support in this version of puppy or is it to remain experimental until further notice?

Any other pointers as to how to optimise my system so that it runs a wee bit faster would be great as even typing this reminds me of my crappy cheap android rip off tablet from china that I used to own and loathed, no offense guys,like I said earlier I am very greatful for all the work you do.
Just thought I'd also mention, I've just noticed the arrow keys aren't responding at all on my wireless keyboard, well not the main ones anyway. The ones on the numberpad work strangely enough and I have all the correct settings for a uk setup?

I recall when I first set this up using berryboot (quite nifty) I am able to add custom distros by holdong and clicking mouse over "Add OS" button and then by choosing copy from usb option. Would my favourite OS of all time "Puppy 5.2.5" be a contender for the RPi or perhaps Saluki 0.2.3?

Any help would be massively appreciated even if it was merely a link to another thread that would point me in the right direction.

Many Thanks in advance

PS. we are in serious need of a raspberry emoticon!
Anyone been thinking the same thing???

PSS. how could I change the background colour of my desktop so that there is not so much white? It's got too much white light!
