Tested Precise 5255.
FirstRUN, the single screen localization tool in this distro hits ALL of the marks for localization needs OOTB.
It handles everything that is expected for launch on behalf of the user fabulously, And, it has
successfully navigated network notification such that all devices know its network name whenever FirstRUN is used in this Precise. This was tested on 3 different DHCP routers and the results are the same! As well, each router shows it in their tables and in syslog on the LANs. No more delays or mis-names. This is behind us. And, FirstRUN gives users a central point of reference for all of its localization offering.
The stability, the sophistication, and the maturity, along with it operating consistently within a LAN makes this distro, a stellar OS. Precise can be considered for use in every home, school, business, library, village, or community on the planet. It adheres to desktop needs and behaves with an ease of use that other distros struggle to achieve.
I have published for several years that FirstRUN has really changed the nature of Puppy, its user interaction, its ease of understanding, and now, its overall abherence to its role on the LAN, This is a truly magnificent contribute as was ever made.
Thanks you Barry and Shinobar for all the good efforts,
and for the understanding, in this solution to something I have witnessed mature over the years. Puppy, in moving from text startup localization to single screen localization has made it simple for users to have good knowledge of what they are doing for their system use. And, it provides a great launch-point for user acceptance of Puppy and the Puppy services provided them.
Thank you,
both, for this great technological contribution...
FirstRUN!!!
