Booted JammyPUP32 ISO file after download to SG2D USB sitick.
This is a first 32bit download i've tested in years, BUT wanted to test the SAMBA facilities. before moving back to 64bit distro use and tests. The following is the resulting console log with echo'ed messages interspersed.
From the JammyPUP32 terminal
Code: Select all
# echo "Test SAMBA utilities in this terminal on desktop"
'Test SAMBA utilities in this terminal on desktop'
# echo "Test SAMBA utilities in this terminal on desktop"

Summary
ISO file boot, works to desktop
Firstrun setup accomplished
Minor tailoring completed
Tested SAMBA utilities and ran SAMBA to insure it could share to the LAN.
SAMBA resources were setup via Applications "Menu>Network>Samba Simple Management" generating the following config file
Code: Select all
#this is a very simple smb.conf to get you started
#coutesy rcrsn51 and gcmartin

Shutdown with session saved to local HDD in "/Sessions" folder
Observation
See results of the smbclient utility when listing JammyPUP's shares.
EDIT: That utility's message is CORRECT and consistent with all PUPs to that NAS!
Conclusion
I am looking forward to using the 64bit version when it is released in a PUPPYland. Ubuntu's focus is on 64bit thru this current LTS release. World standard for PCs to be 64bit (aka x86-64) began in 2006, 16 years ago as many distros today have moved to concentrate resources on 64bit versus maintenance of old 32bit in both OS and applications. But, of course, everyone knows this direction.
Distro is smooth, stable, and responsive.
Hope this is helpful info.
P.S. This test episodes was done barebone on a 2016 64bit UEFI PC.
