Now that I'm Windows only again, Puppy seriously impresses me with its speed as a Live USB, functionality, and beautiful design.

Hence I'm left to eagerly await Kitten Linux.Edited 2011-11-27 00:21 UTC Sun, 27 Nov 2011 00:17:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (zima) Comments Too many Puppies for me http://www.osnews.com/thread?498234 http://www.osnews.com/thread?498234 I like Puppy and have an enthusiastic user for some time. It's one of my 3 main systems (Ubuntu, Puppy, Windows XP).

But I'm concerned with so many Puppies coming out (Wary, Lucid, Slacko, Racy, etc). It used to be that there were many Puplets, but only 1 official Puppy. Now there are many official Puppies and it's not clear why. I'm concerned that this project is losing focus and its identity.

Puppy is angry now, it's gonna byte in you in the ass with a rabid tooth:) Sun, 27 Nov 2011 03:38:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (fran) Comments RE[2]: Too many Puppies for me http://www.osnews.com/thread?498238 http://www.osnews.com/thread?498238 If you actually followed puppy you would realize it never had any focus and any semblance of focus was the fact that there was really only one developer in a "benevolent dictator" role. Puppy is whatever Barry is interested in at the time.. which isn't bad it just means its not really a distro to be taken seriously is there isn't any garantee it'll be around for long and there aren't any real updates like other distros. Slitaz is a more formal distro with similar abilities to Puppylinux its also better documented and works alot better in my experience. I've even made my own puplet at one point MathPup it just had a few interesting math softwares I was using dumped into the 2.15CE iso. I also added GCC to teenpup at one point as it was rather continent. All that said I never felt there was any progress with puppy just lots of wheel spinning as stuff that worked in one release was broke or non existent in the next. such is life PuppyLinux was fun to play around with though that I am sure is the main interest behind it for Barry.
It helps that it has a very active forum as well for getting help its something a lot of larger distros don't have.Edited 2011-11-27 05:37 UTC Sun, 27 Nov 2011 05:36:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (cb88) Comments RE: Puppy feels bad http://www.osnews.com/thread?498243 http://www.osnews.com/thread?498243 Is it fascist?

Frankly they get along like cats and dogs. Sun, 27 Nov 2011 19:28:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (KLU9) Comments RE[3]: Puppy feels bad http://www.osnews.com/thread?498248 http://www.osnews.com/thread?498248

Caninist agenda? I'm okay with this.

Obviously you haven't watched the Cats Vs. Dogs movies, everyone knows the only one with an agenda here were the felines.

I keep in the know.

Most of the time dogs were "with" us, we were mere hunter-gatherers roaming around - and activities forced on us by typical dogs, suggest the latter very much preferred such poor state of affairs.

In contrast, when the cats started to hang out around us in the cradle of our civilisation, when they recognized the most dire priorities of maintaining our scarce harvest supplies, when we in turn recognized them as gods* for their wisdom - they gave us civilisation!


Thankfully, we are again in an era of progress - which will be made all the more rapid with the help of, yes, technology enabling cats (victimised over the centuries by dogs and their followers, people in denial of their heinous acts of cat burning that accompanied witch hunts) to keep in check those savage canine beasts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf9wHkkNGUU (also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A-ugAYbGRo )

Is it fascist? Communist? Terrorist?

Do you always Godwin funnies within the first 3 words...

(plus, the last notion doesn't really make much sense as an ideology - it's more a method; one employed by virtually all largish collectives of people, also countries, at one point or another in the past, often quite recent one - it's just that the official PR now proclaims it as the exclusive label of "designated baddies"; in (broadened now ;p ) context, it has roughly as much sense as "Blitzkrieg ideology")Edited 2011-12-04 00:10 UTC Sat, 03 Dec 2011 23:58:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (zima) Comments
