Re: Arch variants similar to Puppy in its spirit

Sounds just like using some of the desktop environments made to layer on top of MS-DOS back in 1988-1994 OR using Norton's Commander as the "desktop" on top of DOS....... We even sang a guitar song about DOS and Norton in the 90s. In the song, cheerful Norton deleted (yes, F8) 40 megabyte...

Arch variants similar to Puppy in its spirit

So, which of the Arch variants is most similar to Puppy in its spirit? Well, it's probably Obarun . Without systemd. S6 supervision suite as init and 66 as service management. JWM as windows manager. There is also ArchBang . But there's just an Openbox. In addition, the author's mood, like mine, dep...

Re: Shouldn't we be *selling* woof-CE?

Re: Problem with AC/DC adaptors - a question for electricians

These regulators have been available since the '70s so they are cheap and there's tons of information about how to use them. Start by reading the fine print of the data sheet. I have a Chinese multimeter bought for $3. If it burns out I'll buy a new one ;) Flash is right. By the way, electronics fl...

Re: Problem with AC/DC adaptors - a question for electricians

Is this due to the old age of these power supplies or the 10V higher input current? The capacitors are all dry there. Yes, in the 90s and early 2000s, such Chinese adapters were sold on every radio market. The quality then was you know what. Throw it all out the window. You have the leadership of t...
