By the way - I'm working on a tiny Puppy with musl, lazy-utils, loksh, Xfbdev and cwm. I'm curently trying to port tinyxserver to x86_64 - if this port works, we can use this tiny thing as a base - it's similar to pupngo, but modern, fully automated and 64 bit.
I think we mustn't give up the alternative to Woof, full independence, in case the community release model fails.

here is my plan
1. build a core of woof debian --- command line only (busybox ash)
2. build an basic x image --- x jwm rxvt
3. build an basic apps image --- rox leafpad
4. build internet access image --- dhcpd
5. build additional apps image --- firefox mplayer
6. build (whatever else we want) image
loopfile symlink these images together to form a working distro
they can be compressed SFS or uncompressed ext2 image
we shall see if this can be done with woof
and if i can do it
any thoughts ?

There are already both 32 and 64 bit slackware based puppies and as far as I know both Micko and Q5sys intent to go on with them.bark_bark_bark wrote:yes but they can't help us. Slackware is much more stable and faster than debian/ubuntu/mint. If you want a TRUELY stable distro, Slackware is the ONLY way to go.
Regarding stability, Debian-stable is stable to the point that is boring! You have to go to enterprise solution (RedHat) to find something more stable.
Actually Debian-testing may be better and a bit exciting too

Probably a good choice though, especially since BK did a lot of work on PPM for debian compatibility.

Guys, we're starting a distro war. Gotta settle on one distro or go solo
I think Debian stable and Slackware are the best options, because it's extremely hard to follow testing with Woof. I've built puplets from stable, testing and sid - it's amazingly complex to keep up with sid and testing seems to break on a monthly basis before the freeze

No, I'm not making a suggestion. I'm asking you to do it.gcmartin wrote:@JamesBond suggests that we find ways to raise money for the idea and strategies for Puppy LInux. And to use that money to disperse to those individuals who actually work on the package(s).
No, I don't need or want help because I'm not going to do anything. I am asking *you* (gcmartin, not anyone else) to take the lead and *do* it. In case it's not clear, I am asking *you* to organise the fundraising. Me, I will just watch from the side and give commentsBut, If he wants, I will help him do so. I'll assist anyone who has some ideas of how to advance this distro. And, new approaches to make it attractive to bring others on-board and advance Puppy Linux is just what is needed.
Are *you* willing to do it? Is Puppy worth enough of your time to spend on fundraising efforts?

i am going to try to build an iso
with woof debian
this makes the most sense to me at this time
if things change
we can also make changes
hopefully i will be able to do this
i will start actually downloading things tomorrow
and will work over the weekend
i will report back to the forum
on my progress
i'm sure i will need a lot of help
so any help or any kind of input is appreciated
remember our goal
is just to work on a new puppy together
as a community
so that everyone will have an opportunity to participate
the fact that you are reading this forum
means our goal is being accomplished
thanks to everyone
and i'm sure i will be begging for help soon

I do not see any war. I believe we settled on Debian-stable (we do not need any excitement now )Iguleder wrote:Guys, we're starting a distro war.
On a different but related note. I can see that Playdayz is arround these days...

Maybe you miss-understood. I already agreed to help with your suggestion.
3000 post of no code or debug contributions but plenty of ideas on how Puppy should develop, suggest that you can really mount a campaign.
Put this ability into good use to produce a tangible beneficial outcome for Puppy yourself.
I think that $100,000 is probably too high of a goal but even $10,000 can go a long way in puppy development.
So, as you suggest in your signature "Get ACTIVE"
