I'm running Slacko 5.9.3 or 6.3 and was wondering if there is a Project Management/Planning tool available? I see there is a libreproject package but will it work on Slacko?

Any help/comments appreciated.

I've come across a copy of project libre, it has a .rpm extension. I'm not much beyond a nubie at the intricacies of Puppy, I'm using Slacko 5.9 and 6.3 on different machines.
Can I load a .rpm file onto my machine without problem or are there issues to consider please?

Many pups come with Planner.

If your pup doesn't have it, the are PETs around the place, for example:

64-bit:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/quirky6/amd64/packages/pet_packages-april/planner-0.14.6-april64.pet

32-bit:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/quirky6/x86/packages/pet_packages-april/planner-0.14.6.pet

Or you can compile it:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/quirky6/sources/t2/april/planner-0.14.6.tar.bz2

Projectlibre is good though, so don't give up on it if Planner isn't enough.
I think people typically install from a debian package, but I don't think there's really any reason not to try an rpm.

Many thanks to you Barry and disciple,
I've downloaded planner, I think it will work for our simple needs - Project Tracking in our local Men's Shed.
I'll keep Projectlibre in mind.

LeithR,

If you run into limitations or want to explore another option, I can make you a PET or SFS of "ganttproject-2.7-r1864".

This a Java based simplified clone of Microsoft Office Project.

Just PM me.

Regards,

Volhout
