Hi,

Does anyone know what the state is of Grafpup? The last release was in 2007 and the last piece of news posted was in June 2008.

I think there was some activity and postings about Grafpup over at the LinuxQuestions forum,...
I'll go check that, and get back to you on that,...

EDIT: last entry seems to have been added before this Christmas:

you know it's funny this comes up, I was just thinking that Grafpup needed an update or another Puplet needed to be thought about for photographers and graphic artists and such. one of the main reasons I'm using Ubuntu is the ready availability of good imaging programs. a couple of the programs I use are these:
GIMP
F-Spot
Gnome Photo Printer
gtkam
phatch
RAW Studio
XSane
KDE has a few nice programs I use sometimes:
digikam
showphoto

and a non imaging program I like is dvdisaster which adds error protection to cd's and dvd's so you can recover data even if the disc gets scratched.

another nice thing would be a nice new version of wine so you can use Photoshop or elements if you like. I'm currently using Photoshop 7 and Elements 7 in wine they work pretty good.
I tried the older versions of Grafpup but the new programs are much better than what was available then. I would love a Puplet with these new programs. it would probably get a bit big but not nearly as any other distro with the same ability. maybe it's time for a fresh Puplet or at least a complete overhaul of Grafpup.

maybe simply ask forum-member 'Nathan F', who is the man behind grafpup.

Hi

It would be really nice to see an updated Grafpup

In desktop presentation terms - it is stunning

Really fast on older kit too

Lets hope Nathon can find some time to give a few more tweaks
to this outstanding Puppy.

Best regards - Ray

We haven't heard from Nathan for a while now. Last time he appeared, he was recovering from issues in his personal life.
I hope he's all right.

Which reduces our urgency for the disto. I hope he gets better.

I'm interested in downloading/trying grafpup, so if someone happens to have kept an iso file, could you send along my way? or are there still sites that you could download from?

or as an alternative, should I just make a live cd (ubuntu? ubuntu studio? what would be best recommend?) to boot on my current win.xp computer?
then I could pick and choose specific linux programs in which to install.

Please see this thread http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 956#292956. Eric has got a mirror of grafpup website, including the isos.

cheers!
