Which Window Manager to Use?
Does anyone know if you can build a gtk1 gtkdialog? Puppy even relies on it for a lot of configuration stuff. If you can't then you'll either be spending a lot of time looking for or creating all sorts of guis, or leaving them out.
Which word processor would you include?

earlier Abiword was gtk1, as gtkdialog goes yes gtk1.2 had gtkdialog, but have you ever checked the resources gtkdialog? Run pburn and check it out It wouldn't hurt to loose gtkdialog in puppy for older 133- pc's, its very resource hungry. Tcl/tk would be way better of a way to go, much lighter.disciple wrote:Does anyone know if you can build a gtk1 gtkdialog? Puppy even relies on it for a lot of configuration stuff.

133
I am sorry actually let me rephrase all of that. I want it to run on my 133 test machine that way I know even the simplest of users could run it. My mach is a amd phemon II X4/6.5GHz machine. However, I know not all users have that type of speed - I just wanna make sure my product will be widely usable.ttuuxxx wrote: It would and it wouldn't, The first thing would to be getting it going, keep in mind its for a 133....
On another note, I would like to thank everybody here for posting so many great links! You are literally giving me volumes of information and data to look over, so as I can make a well informed choice. Thank you all for your time and civility on here!

Yes, I am a fan of Tcl/tk too. But again, it would be a bit of work to find or make decent replacements for all those things. However it wouldn't necessarily be so bad to retain a lot of gtkdialog things, as they are mostly not things that you have running and eating resources all the time (like a browser), but are things that you tend to use occasionally.It wouldn't hurt to loose gtkdialog in puppy for older 133- pc's, its very resource hungry. Tcl/tk would be way better of a way to go, much lighter.

Voted Icewm.
I run AntiX also which gives you some choice on what Desktop to run. There is a small thread at Mepis Lovers about thinking of seeing if LXDE might be a viable alternative Default Desktop.
http://mepislovers.org/forums/showthrea ... light=lxde
AntiX choices for Desktop
1. Icewm
2. Fluxbox
3. Rox PinBoard
File Manager Choices in AntiX
1. PCMAN
2. Rox
I've used a LXDE Desktop (used earlier unstable versions). I like Icewm better though.
What I would would like to see in Puppy (just a wish, puppy is fine as it is)
1. JWM
2.Icewm
3.Fluxbox

Include IceWM
IceWM is my pick.
Way more features than you can keep track of (read /usr/share/icewm/preferences for an idea, I guesstimate ~400 options), incredibly tweakable, tons of decent themes, keyboard support while working with the mouse (as opposed to ratpoison), up to 12 desktops.
Also fond of the plaintext configuration (versus XML, like JWM uses).
For file manager I like Xfe, the X File Explorer; pcmanfm is decent, while rox is lacking a tree (explore) view. I dismiss Thunar & Nautilus without hesitation.

My favourite lightweight window manager is Scrotwm.

Similar to dwm but easier to configure.

What? Is there no love for Xfce?
I am disappoint. :c
I use Puppy more for the fact it's easy to run off a thumb drive, not for it's speed or the fact it can run on older systems (albeit, it is a bonus if I ever want to run it on my dad's laptop), so I have Xfce. I also want to try and put KDE on Puppy since my first choice above everything is KDE.
Did LHPUp run on KDE? It doesn't seem to anymore. :s

Which Puppy do you use? I've got a working KDE4 desktop SFS for Quirky in my signature, and as far as I know, LHP still supports KDE, 3 and 4 in fact. Just need to download the KDE and Mariner SFS Tazoc (LHP maker) uploaded.DM was on fire! wrote:I also want to try and put KDE on Puppy since my first choice above everything is KDE.

LHP
If you want the best and latest KDE or XFCE for puppy, see TazOC's LHP 5C. It works great.DM was on fire! wrote:What? Is there no love for Xfce?

XFCE
I personally love XFCE, it is very simple and an elegant solution as far as memory is concerned! I am pretty much using XFCE in all of my distributions these days.
