(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Darkcity,Sir , Thank you very much!!


One question , What do you consider "wide spread usage." ?

@runtt21

"widespread usage" is of course a very vague term. What I'm trying to get at is listing versions which hasn't been superseded by bugfix versions-

for example 5.10 is truly superseded by 5.11 as they are very similar and 5.11 has many bugfixs

does 5.25 supersede 5.11 though? or have features been altered too much?

The Puppy 2 page needs help! http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Puppy2

Can anyone add a description of the differences between 2.14R 2.14X and 2.17?

as to whether 511 is superceded by 520/525 my guideline is whether or not a cd update between versions break things.

this is the main thing to avoid between version numbers
even bugfix releases can behave badly

Where can I find this info, or is it scattered ; -)

TEENpup / Legacy OS release info here > http://puppylinux.org/wikka/LegacyOS

Thanks for maintaining wiki page.

What is the difference between the forthcoming teenpup and current Legacy OS?

Hello darkcity,
Legacy OS 2 built on Puppy 2.14 from early 2007

TEENpup 2011 Mini will be built on Puppy 4.21 from mid 2009. It was going to be called Legacy OS 4 Mini but time and desire not to rebrand all the apps means it will stick with the TEENpup name for this upcoming release.
(TEENpup 2011 Mini is an update of TEENpup 2010 Mini beta released in Feb 2010.)

Visit the link and have a read. http://puppylinux.org/wikka/LegacyOS

Great, thanks for reply ; -)

Awesome work darkcity. Huge job.

One thing I have always wished for is some kind of database/grid that lists available Live CDs plotted against hardware they run perfectly on.

eg: It'd be neat to look up say, "Puppy Cielo Wary 5" and see that a Toshiba TE2100 is listed as running happily on that live CD.

Very useful for people like me who are trying to get retired pensioners on the net via Puppy, and who want out-of-the-box solutions that run perfectly from a fresh boot on a machine that has dhcp router access to the net.

Nothing for the user to know/do/understand. Just boot from live CD and go.

I guess this would be most useful for laptops as they tend to have more standard configurations than other forms of PC.

I'm trying to build up my own list of laptop versus live CD but it'll be a long while before i can work out how to present it on a webpage.

Within your list it is really helpful if a developer can maybe suggest what machine they were originally targeting that particular release for.

Very hard to represent such three-dimensional information on a two-dimensional webpage. I need a 3-D computer

I'm working on something like you suggested

Great job, Jon - 5 stars from me

Many thanks

Excellent project.
I didn't see RacyNop in the list. Perhaps I missed it.

darkcity I have a similar page but not as comprehensive as your and is for a different purpose.

Mine is designed as a one stop shop rather than to provide information.

It's a bitch keeping it up to date with the fast pace the devs are working at.

You really need to get the message out that you need to be notified of developments - by developers!

We [I hope I voice the community support?] don't expect the burden to fall on guys like yourselves

Grant/smokey01, thanks for your efforts - another 5 star performer

Aitch

Aitch I do it for pure pleasure and enjoyment.

As it is said: If it feels good, do it, if not, stop.

I usually keep a close eye on developments and test most of them.

CatDude, russoodle and I speak, via Psip, on a daily basis so the information flow is pretty good.

Thanks for your kind words.

@Aitch I'll stop doing it when I can't be bothered any more, although help with Wiki would be good. Devs are busy dev-ing which is fair enough

@Smokey there is cross over with PupHelp 101 and the wiki too - I wonder if there'd be some way of sharing/import info between the two?

@Henry RacyNOP is now on ; -) if you see anything else missing please add it - thats what wiki is all about. You can get a login from Raffy

darkcity PH101 is designed for offline use.

Hey Aitch and Community,

I thought it would be a good idea to have a list of Puppies that could utilize multi-core processors, since that's the direction computers are going in.

64bit:

Fatdog64

Lighthouse64

32bit:

Racy

Exprimo

Saluki

Well, that should get things started... I will update this post if folks will p.m. me notice of any appropriate Puppies that will utilize multi-core processors. Please include a link in your p.m. I'll check it nightly... unless no one thinks it's worth while
