Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

hi all just something to think about the way i see it there is 1. our distrowatch candidate 2. and everything else the distrowatch candidate is only the lead in to puppy once someone gets to the forum they see there is a multitude of possibilities the distrowatch candidate does not define or limit w...

hi all i intend to keep this thread alive as a place to discuss what distro will be the next distrowatch candidate in 1 year i will also post any information that i receive from distrowatch on this thread as i have posted before i think we should make bookwormpup the community puppy and always keep ...

hi all i just want to keep this topic in the limelight and this thread is the place to do it bookworm pup has been sent in to distrowatch and eventually they will get around to updating our page but now we only have 1 year left to choose the next distrowatch candidate so we better get moving my proj...

hi bigpup thanks so much for starting this thread without you we would not even have noticed do we really need another thread this thread has a lot of good stuff about the distrowatch candidate and the direction of puppy development a community puppy etc these all seem to be intertwined so we could ...

hi all i guess everyone didnt realize i had submitted bookworm to distrowatch days ago on apr 29 to be exact what i am talking about is the next candidate 1 year from now which i think should be an updated version of bookworm a very minor update that does not require dimkr to be finished with his wo...

hi all bookworm64 and bookworm32 have already been submitted to distrowatch it just usually takes them a while to change the page that is a done deal so we are good for 1 year dimkr appears to be doing the work to make bookworm64 woof-ce reproducible thank you dimkr for doing all this work for the p...

hi all i think dimkr is taking the best approach to all of this we should all get behind him and help him as much as we can if we make bookworm64 and bookworm32 reproducible woof-ce builds that anyone can build and work on then we will have a community puppy that the gurus can work together on if th...

hi all

i think we should put screenshots of radkys bookworm64 and peebees bookworm32
and links to their announcements and downloads
on the top of the puppy linux home page now
this will help distrowatch find everything

thanks

wanderer

hi clarity your support for puppy is greatly appreciated we tried to bug dimkr into using his vanilla pup before so he is probably tired of it however it appears that he is trying to clean up bookworm64 for woof-ce too bad we cant help him it appears to be a ton of work i think that is one project t...

thank you dimkr

for all your work

but dont kill yourself

hi ozsouth dont worry you guys are too hard on yourselves any of the distros presently listed on the forum are fine for distrowatch and most puppy users they are all excellent work do what they need to do and could be made to have a long lifespan so distrowatch is not really a problem however (just ...

hi all just a technical note for the future distrowatch only requires 1. a screenshot 2. and a link to the announcement of the candidate we could put both of these on the puppy linux homepage before we submit the candidate to distrowatch then we could just tell distrowatch to look there rather than ...

hi all as a user i agree with jamesbond i use puppy because 1. it runs firefox and the other applications 2. its small in size (no bloatware - fast download - runs fast) 3. its versatile (i run upup32 completely from a usb no hardrive - thanks peebee) im not concerned about the underlying technical ...

hi all

here are 2 questions relevant to this thread

1. how many distros listed on the forum today would everyone feel comfortable submitting as the next candidate on distrowatch

and

2. if the gurus were interested in developing a new distro what would it be

wanderer

thanks jasper looks cool i did use woof-ce or woof a long time ago and i may try it again but the devil is in the details it gave an incomplete distro so it needed a guru to troubleshoot it but it is a cool system and its fun playing with it wanderer

hi all so this is our new project we have submitted radkys bookworm64 and peebees bookworm32 to distrowatch they have not contacted me back so i assume they are working on changing the page so now is the time to discuss and settle on the next distrowatch candidate (we have a 1 year timeframe) it can...

i know fredx181 but the nice thing about all this is it costs nothing to discuss things on a thread we could simply talk about which of the already developed distros we want to present next to distrowatch we would then be ready when we want to update the page and it would get the whole community inv...

hi all wow (in my opinion) this is great (thanks clarity) if we can have a thread (or use this one) to keep our eye on the next distrowatch candidate i think it could be used to do a lot of good things 1. get the whole community involved 2. give the gurus a challenge (which they like) 3. clean up wo...

and now for something completely different if bigpup had not mentioned that we needed a new distrowatch candidate we would not have noticed anything was amiss and there would have been a mad scramble thank you bigpup however this should not happen again we need to be alert and proactive what i propo...

hi all

info has been sent to distrowatch
they may need more stuff
but will email me if they do

so we will wait and see

wanderer

thank you so much rockedge

you are the man

i will send this in asap

wanderer

hi all jesse at distrowatch has emailed me back wow that was fast he says all we need is a screenshot and a link to the projects release announcement they will do the rest i also think we should update the description could someone post these on this thread so i can copy them and email them to distr...

hi all i have sent an email to distrowatch to begin the process of submitting radkys bookworm 64 and peebees bookworm 32 as our new candidates this is a process but should not take too long now is the time to begin to work on our next submission which we have a year to complete an error free woof-ce...

hi dimkr to address your concerns this time i think we should just submit these excellent distros since they are ready and we need a new candidate to keep distrowatch active this i will do however we will need a new candidate in about 1 year i do think it would be interesting and useful to have a co...

hi all it appears to me that we are ready to go i am assuming that radky and peebee have given their approval and that bookworm 64 and 32 check all the boxes i am going to contact distrowatch and begin the process of submitting our new candidates if anyone objects post now or forever hold your peace...

as i understand

radky has given his approval

and i hope peebee has also given his approval

does this mean we can move forward with making these our (i hope long term) distrowatch candidates

wanderer

hi all this is just a suggestion could we use radkys and peebees bookworm or another debian puppy and just update it/maintain it slowly over time with everyone being involved so that no one person has to be totally responsible and nothing much changes and bugs get worked out so no major questions/de...

yes clarity there are a great number of excellent puppies on the forum and its important to remember that being the distrowatch candidate does not infer that one is better than the other if one is not available at this time maybe another one will be eventually the community will need to decide what ...
