Re: Best xfce desktop for 512mb RAM?

I've used Pale Moon browser on old kit, and while ssls wll get you around, the cpu always thinks otherwise.

The ideal, for me, would be a recent recompile of xlinks, but that's above my pay grade.

Re: Best xfce desktop for 512mb RAM?

Very grateful for the detailed instruction. It's been so long since I've puppied...

Had to jump back to slacko-6.3.0.6-uefi as slacko7 hung on the module load, probably because of my limited RAM.

Slacko6 kindly provides the egalax .ko for the gma500 video, but xinput needs installing (done), and I ...

Re: Best xfce desktop for 512mb RAM?

@Wiz57 Thanks again. I understand.

Another query: to run the two sfs's, it would appear that I need some kind of ISO to install on usb (I looked inside the sfs and it didn't look bootable). For 515pup32 and Xfce-ydrv, which OS would you recommend? I assume pretty bare bones as the sfs's will cary ...

Re: Best xfce desktop for 512mb RAM?

I teethed on Puppy some 17 years ago in the Murga forum, back in the day of the Jemimah wonders (she was one of my hereos) and the dearly departed "noob" whose death shook all the users. It's so nice to be back at a place so helpful.

Today, I start to reacquaint myself with the puppy platform, the ...

Re: Best xfce desktop for 512mb RAM?

@Wiz57 Many thanks for weighing in. I'm a little dense today, so I'm not seeing the link in your post. Could you cite it again for the hard-of-thinking?

Much obliged.

Edit: would this be the page: https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linux_ScPup

Re: Best xfce desktop for 512mb RAM?

Very interesting. Documentation is pretty limited at github. Do you think it can run with just 512mb RAM? It's not clear to me.

Hmm, just saw a reddit post that says 1gb RAM is the minimum.

Best xfce desktop for 512mb RAM?

On a MBook M1 umpc, I'm running a thoroughly-outdated Xubuntu 14. But SSLs, etc can't be updated, so I'm hoping puppy veterans could suggest an xfce-based puppy that I could install on a 3gb ssd partition.

Given the creakiness of the M1, no browser will work beyond xlinks (which is fine), and I ...
