Puppy Linux 5.2 ...Now in the house....

[refusist]

upgrading from 4.3.1 on my old compaq 1ghz laptop atm

[MrJordiR]

im having a presscott p4 2.66ghz running on 3.1ghz and 448ram now i have windows xp but if i have more than 2 programs open its slow as fuck so is this a good alernative

[sneekylinux]

@MrJordiR this is because xp now needs 512 ram at a minimum just to run, try lubuntu first if you have never tried linux before

[scarsunseen24]

@sneekylinux Then why am I running XP on an AMD K-6 333MHz CPU with 64MB EDO RAM and a 4GB hdd?

[sneekylinux]

@scarsunseen24 because you want too??

[scarsunseen24]

@sneekylinux My point is that 512 RAM is NOT the minimum.

[sneekylinux]

@scarsunseen24 i would love to know how usable it is, and the boot time must be ooohhh, 10 mins

[scarsunseen24]

@sneekylinux about 40 seconds

[sneekylinux]

@scarsunseen24 so what you are telling me is a current version of windows xp with all the service packs and all your software running on a k-6 boot's in 40 seconds....is this true......?????...as i beg to differ..

[zogworth]

@MrJordiR Buy more ram

[mocatz187]

Does anyone know how to get to the pupsave.sfs file to save something?

[UnforgivableMen]

Nice review but it would be better if you could speak bit slower and louder mate. Just a small tip

[TheKingORock]

hey sneeky, love the reviews, but i have a question. lately, ive come across a corrupted hard disk in my primary laptop, fortunately, the BIOS allows me to boot through my USB ports... now, i understand you dont do questions like this, and dont do tutorial videos (as far as ive watched ), but i've had no luck on forums, and on the net,so i thought i might turn to you for help. I'd like to blacklist a module, although the option isnt available... please help?

[sneekylinux]

@TheKingORock will give u an answer soon man

never been able to instal puppy properly, what do you think is the oldest pc/laptop that this will work on, i got satelite pro, but always get ernel panic or umpteen other problems (

grub error etc) and sugestions would bring great joy

[bertitolino]

@factorialpython I have Puppy working smoothly on an old Sony Vaio PCG-FX401 from 2001 :-) I remember is was quite difficult to install, I used another Linux distro (AntiX) for creating a Linux partition and Grub file. AntiX gives insight in the Grub file creating.

[factorialpython]

@bertitolino my sat pro 4300 series, came with win98se when i got it, it still goes, but ALWAYS get probs with any linux distro i put on it, always at close down restart "grub error", but being very new i have NO clue in solving probs, seen loads of vids, BUT do not know the basics of terminal or other bits to do what they say :(, thanks for you help, the search shall continue

[bertitolino]

@factorialpython Hi, I sent an instruction to your inbox on how to bypass grub problems with Puppy.

[factorialpython]

@bertitolino thankyou, will ive this ago later, will puppy 525 work (the latest), thanks for you explanation

[bertitolino]

@factorialpython well, also puppy 525 will have a grub manager which will create the right grub code and copy this information into the menu.lst

[joaorp]

damn you talk fast..!!

[ravendon]

Great video, but very hard accent to follow. At first, I thought you were speaking Dutch! lol

[Indy452]

I've found this version of Puppy to be the best I've ever tried.

[sim6699]

love your videos :)

[sneekylinux]

@thelleht bert and tim..lol

[thisweekinlinux]

I can't remember the specifics, but I used to use Iron, and one of the Arch devs/maintainers told me some backstory about it that made me stop using it. Something about the developer only "creating" it to make money. Here's the link, just found it:

neugierig. org/software/chromium/notes/20­09/12/iron.html

[sneekylinux]

@thisweekinlinux ok mate,well i have looked into this a bit deeper,and have requested a bit of clarification from the developers,whether i will get a reply is another thing.

but on looking at the stuff,it may be that language may have distorted things as they are in germany,but we will see

[1010011010is29a]

Totally feel like i just watched "Kipper"

[sneekylinux]

@1010011010is29a are you sayng i am a dog,or martin clunes....lol

[Rysin3]

@1010011010is29a That's a toad, not a frog.

[simonwilku]

what is bad in chromium or chrome ?

[sneekylinux]

@simonwilku no reason really,just is new to pup really,it has been available for a little while,but used it just to show ya man

[simonwilku]

@sneekylinux thanks for replay ;) 

[MrDpsc]

is it finally possible to uninstall native apps?

[OmeCoatl323]

Puppy 5.2 feels nice and polished. I tried Virtual Box and it ran nicely! I installed a virtual Windows 98 and took a trip down memory lane.

[jaymezavirus]

I knew you were smoking a pipe XD. you really love puppy dont ya? is it your main OS?

[j800r]

@jaymezavirus nah, he's an Ubuntu man. he reviews a lot of these cause other people don't.

[sneekylinux]

@jaymezavirus not the main but it is on 2 machines in the house

[jdt3000]
