Why not use Puppy for compiling apps for Puppy?

[Lobster]

Very interesting ideas guys

I was the pussy who introduced the herding cats idea (but heard it elsewhere)

Barry will decide what works best for him. As far as I am concerned the vision remains focussed. John Murga is working (as we speak) on a compile in a fat Pup (for the standard pup)

For those wanting to program in
ash
tcl
or C
there is loads to do . . .

Can not program (now would be a good time to start)
It is (strange this) a lot of fun. That is why programmers get paid for programming and then come home and program for free - LOL

Our main requirement is for a C programmer to test whether a CD is multisession or not

With so many good suggestions, my small voice can not be heard here on this forum.

The situation for compilation of application software is not going for VL' but stay with Mandrake(9.2 plus 2.6.11 package) full blown installation on a second computer hdd. Then put into a dot.pup repository for download as static tar.gz files.

Having the exact Linux kernels have certain compatibility advantage.

This has been a fairly technical discussion and I'd like to enter a general user perspective:

Puppy is great because it's small.

Puppy has got better because you can now add extra programs easily.

Keep on that path.
