Thanks for your craziness Lobster
On behalf of my imaginary crack psychiatric team,
I thank you. They are employed to keep me on the wrong side
of sanity. :shock:

meanwhile

Giiggle is turning Chrome into the ubiquitous connected
browser of the future.

However compliance with their advertising and marketing
ambitions is not part of my best interests.
The Cloud is coming
and maybe BBC Cloud or other public service utilities
will offer the best without the hard/soft sell.

I have run Firefox beta on Win 7
it is reminiscent of Chrome
The betas of Seamonkey are looking great

Many commentors seem to be saying Chrome/Chromium is faster than Firefox, especially streaming video, however ChromeOS is beginning to look interesting
Open Source info here

Have you seen the size of the ChromeOS sources? There is a 1-man project that already beats them at their own game called xPUD (which is actually smaller than Puppy) You may have already seen my Puppy Web Desktop which is just a static portal page to other web apps.

I am currently quietly working on a set of cgi script functions (as part of bashbox) that will allow gtkdialog style interaction within the browser using only busybox and any browser (from dillo to webkit) - this will allow most P-apps to be ported and will be usable even from a framebuffer browser and not dependent on any specific widget toolkit ... also looking at the broadway branch (html5 backend) of gtk3 for future possibilities - the first thing I would like to do is port the internet connection wizard so that the Error page redirects you to the interactive in-browser internet connection wizard (I may need some help from Jemimah with this one if I get stuck)
Check out my [url=https://github.com/technosaurus]github repositories[/url]. I may eventually get around to updating my [url=http://bashismal.blogspot.com]blogspot[/url].

I havent posted here in long time

I think that I should say why
I am going a different direction than ideas that are posted here and
in the opposite direction


I am rebuilding to have official tools I replaced almost all busybox commands with
the real coreutils binaries

and I want and need to maintain a linux compatible
system that shares the greater linux community ideas and Ethics
about sharing work and and providing sources and documentation
and standard packages

and a build system that is built on sound linux practices
the same way all other major linux distros have been successful with over the years

having it small and fast is important
but maintaining linux standards are much more important

The Ice Cream I mentioned here
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 965#484591
has now been sandwiched into the next Android
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/05/ ... -sandwich/

Puppy 5.3 Alpha 2 should be out today based on Woof and Slackware binaries
Dpup has been revived based on Woof and Debian binaries
Lucid and retro Lucid (based on Puppy 4.3.1 compatibility)
64 bit will be available with 5.3 and is already here with Fatdog
Barry continues the development of Woof, Wary and Quirky.
Puppeee continues its netbook development along with Fluppy.
All well documented.

Jemimah mentioned this in December of 2010
Anyone is free to post a base at any time, but Technosaurus' "mostly static" idea is most interesting to me personally, and I think it will be really solid once he gets it ready.

If BigBass has a base system ready to go with recent enough libraries to run newish applications, lets take a look!
Are we ready for a Base jump yet? :D
