Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

This could be a sore subject with many a end-user. System Administration takes time, a desire to keep up, and the knowledge to maintain one's system.

1. Many users just want to use the computer. That attitude reminds me of a person who drives a car until it stops and then buys another. It is costly ...

Interestingly enough, when you compile wine 3.15 or greater as an sfs, for the distro like Carolina, you can use the Palemoon's current x86 release, which was equivalent to v.73 ...

It's done. The Radio Station's techs trained.Installs ongoing by in-house techs. They signed a maintenance contract for basic updates, with us. Security on the old native firewall had to be extended. IObit's Anti-Malware software doesn't crater under wine. The only real changes will likely be kernel ...

Points taken. Outside the 32 bit Vacuum The 64 bit Apple G5's and Intel Based Macs are a ubuntu fossa built on a minimal server install. Woof craters on the G5's so they are a manual build. Puppy Woof build with xfce 4.13 works on the Intel based systems. It's important because of Apples move to ...

mikeslr and Clarity Turns out all I had to show the clients was a current html 5 browse. Doing the ports to PPC may not be necessary because of the failure rates (current failures) of the Apple G3 and G4 hardware. Audacity was acceptable over Adobe Audition, for the recorded streams and commercials ...

I'll gladly look I don't want to re-invent if I don't have too! Carolina is old. It may well give me the "Dog and Pony Show" I need while the "Debian and Ubuntu" adherents provide the answers. It will take 5 to 10 years to work through all the stations and their needs. I suspect my company will be ...

rcrsn51 until the 32 Bit PPC Systems and the Unisys Mini-Computers started breaking down there was no desire for them to change hardware. In 2004 the first of the Servers (a BeOS 5 server) died and was replaced with xubuntu then lubuntu. Version 12.04 is less maintainable than even Carolina because ...

Clarity,
The PPC Systems are going to have to go. They are old and breaking down. Many of the stations including the KOMA (Now owned by the late Dale Weeba's family) group in Oklahoma City have not upgraded, because what they had has worked for 30 plus years. The Unisys Mini-Computers they still ...

Much of what was passed on I knew, but appreciate the updates. A Little history, I have been around the block a bit. In my storage shed sits a Univac 1005a, Card system. Yes I'm that old. I bought it when the U. S. Army decided they were obsolete. I'd been writing code for the Army, at that time for ...

Many People right off the older Puppy's. I don't. I co-own a Computer Company in Enid, Oklahoma, USA. We support 300+ Radio Stations. They are mom and pop organizations with old equipment and limited budgets. Initially I tried to keep up their existing software (Worked up until recently so many ...
