Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this, but here goes.

Over the past few weeks of discovering Puppy Linux 5.2.8 (I'm a newbie to Linux still), I have to say that you can get things done albeit maybe a little different than I am used to using my other Distro Ubuntu 10.04.

Every Sunday I host a Jazz radio station at The University of Ottawa, and every Sunday I have recorded my show (and a couple of others), on my Intel 24" iMac. Works great. I decided to try recording with various Linux distros such as Ubuntu, Mint and Zorin. They all worked fine.

I decided to take the plunge and try a distro that was not Debian or Ubuntu based. Hence, Puppy Linux 5.2.8. These are the tools I used successfuly on this Sunday afternoon.

- Using the arecord command, I have four scripts in the Pschedule task on time app that work great.

- Audacity is my audio editing app. Also worked great.

- tried gFTP to ftp my shows to my web site. No success with this app using port 22. I installed Filezilla and all is well. Not sure why gFTP didn't work.

- My playsheets are done using Googledocs. No problem there.

So far everything worked fine!

On another note, one thing I still need is a video editor such as Avidemux or something similar that will work in Puppy. Any recomendations other than Avidemux? I just need to save snippets of video quickly. On the Mac side, I use MPEG Streamclip which I absolutely love working with.

My iMac sees limited use now because I find most of my computer time is in the Linux world. Feels like Christmas every day so far!! Smile

My site which was created using Yola.com is www.mcran.com

That is what I am hoping to do as I continue to read and search out how to do things in Puppy. Right now I am trying to find a way to change the look of the blue buttons to something else so I can see it clearer. I love the help I am getting on the Puppy forum!
