A "Polished" version of NoblePup?

[mow9902]

@rockedge

In some previous post on some topic (cannot remember which) I believe you said that you might consider "adopting" NoblePup64 and perhaps making a "polished" version like you did with FossaPup64 CE. Any more thoughts on this?

I have been using NoblePup64 for a month solid on a DELL Poweredge R210 II. Using it for a broad range of tasks including hosting an Apache2 web server with PHP 8.3 and MariaDB. Testing continues, to determine what polish to apply. For sure JWMDesk from @radky will be integrated into the developing version.

Pretty much the same experience as @rockedge here. Rock solid on all my (now varied) laptops for several months at least. Mostly running overlayfs and sourced straight off GitHub at this point. What polishing I do is LXDE and PCManFM courtesy of peebee and the following adds for me:

I recently have added a couple of modified files to my ydrives (rc.local and a 'model customization' script in /root/Startup) so that whatever laptop I throw any of my pups on now, the screen resolution, dpi, and touchpad/clickpads are set up correctly -even the stinky X1 carbon- for me and my old eyes.

Cheers,

Forgot. Some of the laptops are now nvme, not SATA, so the customization files also take care of the symlinks to portables etc. in that case.

All four of the utilities are working well after some tweaking to get things working. In effect I had to grab the components and install them, some manually.

With these networking tools working it's a huge advantage, along with NP64's strong package compiling, building and assembling abilities with the current Devx loaded.

Can we add the "polish" to the Woof-CE build recipe?

YES! These PUP exclusives are a HUGE advantage for home networking uses.

@rockedge dont forget the SSM companion developed by @01micko; namely "findsmb" utility terminal command.

I have a utility that takes the findsmb utility's output to update the system's hosts file making remote machines to be seen by their network names versus having to search for IP addresses.

Looking forward to this as well as your zoneminder for a home camera server.
