After many months of building, testing, erasing and starting over, losing data, and a lot of other crap, Uhuru will be available for download on Saturday, June 6, 2009 at 12:00 noon Central Standard Time.
Uhuru is built on Puppy Barebones 4.12 Standard Kernel and has just the right amount of programs added to be an average, everyday use OS, while being very user and beginner friendly. There are no screenshots available, as the screenshot program was not added to save space. The final ISO image is expected to be around 90 MB. The entire project was built and tested on a Pentium MMX 200mhz with 64 MB RAM and 240 MB Swap.
There will be 2 versions available: Kijani and Chungwa
For more information and an explanation of the names, visit the Uhuru Homepage at http://hondasid1984.angelfire.com/index.html.

Instead of looking out Windows, I'm playing with my Puppy.
Hello, hondasid
I am glad someone is making another "Light" Puppy.
Any bloated and crawling puppies are turn off for me.
Turbo, Choice mini, Browser puppy, PULP.. etc are all trying to achieve the goal of "Light and Swift" puppy experience.
I have no idea what "Uhuru" means but it is a fresh idea.
You announced the release day exactly what day, what time.
I am very impressed. Cause I have seen some people announce their puppies too early and I have never seen the puppies in worst cases.
The web site you posted is not reachable. Please check if there is any problem.

MAIN POST EDITED.
Website host does not allow direct URL access for some reason. It's the last link in the Dump.
http://hondasid1984.angelfire.com/index.html
The main purpose is to be an everyday use web browser, minimal game console (solitaire, gem game, etc.), and Windows capatable word processor. There is also CUPS installed for printing, as well as VLC for music and video, and alsa for most sound cards. The small size was inspired by people I knew that had old P1 hardware that worked great but was outdated.
Full list of additions is on the website, minus a few last minute additions, which will be listed in the morning. As of right now, both releases will be on time.

Release has been delayed!
In true MS fashion, the release has been pushed back 30 minutes before it's release.
Due to some kind of hardware problem that lets my full install of Uhuru load but not a Live version of Puppy so that I can remaster it, the release has been pushed back until I can figure out the problem and get this thing remastered. Anyone who can help me please do. I'm new to remaster script and need help. To all those waiting abaited breath, I apologize and hope you will still download and give it just as fair of a shot. This is my first puplet, I wrote a few programs in C++ and Basic in high school, but nothing like this. It's been kind of hard learning, but well worth it. I hope everyone enjoys the fruits of my labor. I have worked hard to make sure everything is right.

Xvesa only, Xorg was not added!. It will need to be added if you have the capability to watch video (64 RAM won't).
There have been changes made since the main post. This is the only version available, no code name, simply Uhuru 4.12. It is neither green nor orange, but blue, with a nice theme applied to compliment and update the look. Also, the app word on the desktop didn't keep it's icon assignment for some reason. The icon is word48.png located in /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps. Please let me know about any other issues.

Okay, but put like that it looks like you have to get rid of any existing partitions on your machine before you install Uhuru. Is this true?
Normally with a Puppy distro.you can create a dedicated partition on your hard drive alongside an existing Linux or Windows partition, by using GParted to shrink the existing partition and thus create space on the hard drive for the Puppy partition. Thus you can run Puppy alongside any other distro or Windows OS you already have.
