ShepherdPup Kiosk Edition

ShepherdPup is now available in a kiosk version for safe public access. Perfect for distribution as either a kiosk or given as a gift for street evangelism.

This version runs entirely from CD without accessing the host computers drives. It limits the user to the basic study and media and browsing needs. It removes editing and file management and disk partitioning facilities. X11 Control-Alt-Funct[x] capability has been removed. It shuts down without saving and reboots pristine in ram.

Best of all, ShepherdPup Kiosk Edition comes with several language bibles installed making it suitable for missions work. It weighs in at 100megs!

This is a slide show using W3C Slidy so it should work in most any js browser.

What a great idea! I wish you well.

Will CD's be for sale to those that are still on dial-up? Didn't see any mention on the web page.

Hadn't thought about it!

You bring up a good point. Might be cheaper for large groups as well if we could pool and mass duplicate. I'll look into it.

Thanks!

I am pleased to announce a revised release of the ShepherdPup - Personal Edition. This update is a major feature upgrade of the study components pBiblx-0.1.7 and pBless-0.1.7. It is recommended that all current ShepherdPup users upgrade to this revised version.

While most system components remain the same, the exciting advances in these two components justify this revision. (For application list see homepage at http://shepherdpuplinux.us or previous announcements)

ShepherdPup is a self contained freely distributable integrated Bible study suite. It is meant to be freely used and freely given. (See a introductory SlidyShow at: http://shepherdpuplinux.us/Demo1/pbiblx ... EMO1c.html)

What's New in pBiblx-0.1.7

(See our WhatsNew SlidyShow presentation at http://shepherdpuplinux.us/Demo2/demo_0.1.7.html)

Indexing:
1. Simple new note syntax allows for topical indexing of any note in the new pbiblx-index dialog.

New methods of filtering searches:
1. Indexing has ignited development of the new Jesus Index tool - search just quotes, parables, miracles, sermons etc...
2. Indexing has ignited development of the new Index Filter tool - search just one testament, one author, major or minor prophets, Psalms by theme, Pauline verses General Epistles, Pauline Pastoral Epistles, and much more.
3. Any note can be a filter thanks to indexing. You can modify or author your own.
4. Several of the stock personal resources included have already been indexed.

New Search capabilities:
1. Searches can be performed upon the results of other searches.
2. Searches can placed on individual list items within the table or the entire table or the displayed text.
3. New reading context capability by current chapter, previous or next chapter.
4. Google from pBiblx book:chapter lines or from pBless search input box.

Multimedia Links:
1. Simple new note syntax allows for multimedia links within personal notes.
2. Any note line now can be a WWW link, radio or audio link, video link, email send-to address link, image link, local file link. Files of links become indexed addressbooks, audio or video playlists, audio bibles..... Links are opened from within pBless directly.
3. This feature has been implemented in the totally revamped "extras:" tab.
4. This feature has been used to implement the new audio bible "Play" button. The audio bible playlist included links to the KJV from AudioTreasure.com.

New Plug-ins:
1. Text output can now be sent to Didiwiki "MyNote" pages. This ShepherdPup themed Didiwiki is setup with MyNote, MyJournal, and MyOrganizer divisions. A Wiki is a great way to keep notes due to cross linking. Your Wiki can be shared on-line with others for collaboration.
2. W3C Slidy presentation. Like the Operashow plug-in, text output is received by this slide show generator and sent to your web browser as HTML. Slidy is viewable by most JavaScript enabled browsers (Konqueror buggy on line).

Other:
1. Some cosmetic changes in pBless moving buttons to more convenient locations.
2. The Puppy Remaster Wizard had been modified to include the root pbiblx and spot Didiwiki folders so that when you share a ShepherdPup copy you share your personalized copy.
3. Scrot screenshot capture added. Shot1 script modified to delay 3 seconds.

I have just posted a very interesting idea to
http://www.linuxforchristians.org/?p=15 ... omment-112 today. Please give it a look.

Here's a blurb:

A‪n idea has been forwarded today by a few of the ShepherdPup users to pursue several local churches this month about possibly presenting ShepherdPup - Personal Edition to their congregations as a Christmas/New Years gift. It has even been suggested that we post to ChristianSource and to others Church sites to make this an internet-wide idea.

The concept is quite intriguing............

As a Christmas gift to ShepherdPup users here on the forum, I would like to share an alpha preview of the next generation of pBiblx.

http://rpritts.homelinux.net/

Code named "pBiblx2 - Street Wise Bible Application System" it is due for release mid-January 2010 on ShepherdPup. This is a web based pBiblx cgi running on my personal Hiawatha. You are free to play around with it; see what you think. New features are being added daily, bugs are being worked as I find them. Please let me know if you stumble on them. Come back often to see it evolve.

I would like to thank every one that helped out and all those that have used ShepherdPup. Downloads of the current ShepherdPup and pBiblx-0.1.7 are going through the roof this month since Distrowatch pumped Shep'. God's word is being shared and that's a wonderful thing.

As we say here in the Rockies -

Merry Christmas - Ya'll!
