Boxpup [revision 1]

coolpup — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 16:27:23 -0500

The author of this puplet is 'gray'. First released on 24th August 2008.

Boxpup is a puplet built around the fast and efficient Openbox window manager. There is no taskbar and no icon support for the desktop, with access to applications by right-clicking on the desktop to get a context menu. Middle-clicking on the desktop gives access to "iconified" apps and other desktops. Iconified apps are also accessible via the Tint iconbar at the top of the screen. At the bottom of the screen is Wbar for launching a selection of apps. System information is provided by Conky. On the left is a variant of Hotpup. Wait a minute, how is Hotpup possible without desktop icons? Easy - Wbar is used to display the drive icons!

Boxpup is based on Puppy Linux 4.0 and comes with a good selection of applications:

Opera 9.52 web browser with built-in BitTorrent client, e-mail client and newsfeed reader; Flash Player 9.0.124.0 included

AbiWord 2.6.3 word processor with spelling checker, PDF creator, mail merge capability, and internationalization support

Osmo 0.2.2 personal organizer with notes editor with encryption support

Gnumeric 1.8.2 spreadsheet editor

Xine media player (xine-lib 1.1.8)

GIMP 2.4.0rc3 graphics editor

Xfburn 0.3.0 CD/DVD burner

Thunar 0.9.0 file manager

Revision 1 released on 12th September 2008 (release announcement):

[+] Opera 9.52 (dynamic link version)

[+] freememapplet

[+] qt-3.3.8 libs

[+] QFaxReader 0.3.1

[+] stalonetray 0.7.6

[+] AbsVolume 1.0

[+] Blinky 0.8

[+] Glipper 1.0

[+] LXPanel 0.3.8.1

Gray states: "I included LXPanel, but I am not happy with it. Like its LXDE stablemate PCMan File Manager it looks good and is full of promise but is annoyingly unstable and crashes often. Tint is now at the bottom of the screen and you can switch between it and LXPanel using the desktop menu item Choose Panel."

Suggestions for improvements, problem reports, testing results, and congratulations to Boxpup's creator should be directed to this forum thread: Boxpup

Burning Thunder Pup is back! Now leaner, but just as mean. It is more compatible with different computers, and, sadly, has had features like wine and java removed, but all programs avaible here still work.

Now it fits on the small 180MB CD-Rs! Multisession not supported and because it is still from dingo, you can install ANY dingo-compatible program.

Wanna review Burning Thunder Pup? Make your review and email it to me.

Please Take a survey on Burning Thunder Pup.

As puppy has new releases, I will update B.T.P.

Qbit OS

Qbito — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 02:22:51 -0500

The Qbit OS is based off Puppy Linux 4.0 "Dingo". The Qbit OS is intended to be more user friendly (Or Windows user friendly) by adding/deleting/regrouping/renaming the menu list and use more popularly know softwares (eg.OpenOffice instead of Abiword).
The only major modifications are to the menu list and softwares so there should not be any hardware incompatibilities compared to Puppy 4.0. The PCMCIA and battery meter has been removed as this was meant to be for desktop use but can be reinstalled using the package manager.
The menu list was edited hoping to make it easier for non-linux users to understand ("Desktop" now shortened and grouped with "Setup" to shorten the menu list). The software names were also shortened making it more clear to the non-linux user (eg.Calcoo Scientific calculator => Scientific calculator). The following softwares are installed by default:
+ OpenOffice Suite (word processor, calc, base, etc.). Abiword was uninstalled.
+ Mozilla Firefox (with Flash player plugin)
+ Skype (from Pup3)
+ Bluefish HTML editor
+ GIMP
Some softwares were edited out from the menu list but still can be found for the advanced users.
The Qbit OS is for our line of EPCs ("Efficient" PC). The B2 EPC is 100% solid state and therefore shock & vibration proof. It consumes less than 15W of power and is 0dB quite. More information on our site: www.qbitonline.com. Price includes international free shipping!

MCPup

mcpup — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 07:05:17 -0500

MCPup is an optimized Puppy for the Norhtec Microclient Sr also known as the eBox 4300.

The main feature of MCpup is that it really exploits the CX700M chipset for video rendering:

Direct Rendering is enabled using openchrome drivers & kernel modules (check "grep rendering /var/log/Xorg.0.log");
The media player is an optimized version of MPlayer for unichrome, with a loaded package of codecs;
fullscreen video playing results in a very reasonable cpu usage (divx in 1024x768 consumes only 35% of CPU);
Firefox 3.01 is installed with the last Flash plugin and the MPlayer plugin; video embedded in wep pages
are played through the MPlayer engine and so fully benefit from hardware acceleration;

Direct rendering allows many projects to run on the MC, like OpenGL games.
I will soon compile some of them and make the pets available on the MCPup website.

The other great advantage of MCPup is aMule, that is installed with all its great functionalities:
daemon, command line client, webserver, remote gui, statistics...and so on.
Everything is embedded to transform the Microclient in a good download station

Last but not least, i have updated a lot of packages to their latest version.

Feedback is welcome, as there still remain many things to improve.

DingoPlus

drbongo — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 04:56:12 -0500

DingoPlus is a straight-forward remaster of Dingo customised for the Asus Eeepc!

DingoPlus includes plenty of extra packages as well as all of the required Eeepc drivers. The wireless works straight out of the box, although you will have to load the Atl2 module if you want to use the wired ethernet. The brightness and wireless function keys work, but the volume and mute functions keys don't, but you can control the volume using the icon on the taskbar and I have installed xbindkeys if you want to set them up. Significant additions include Open Office, Remote Desktop Client and Python/PyGtk programming facilities. For a full list of packages see the list below. I have not changed the look of Dingo as I think it looks great already and I do not want to take credit away from the original developers by rebranding it. It contains all of the applications I need at work and home, it will run in the RAM comfortably on any computer with 512Mb RAM and it will boot from USB flash drives, SD cards and hard drives.

It has to be downloaded as a ZIP file as the file server I am using does not allow the transfer of .iso images. Inside the ZIP file you will find the .iso image, the md5sum, a package list and a screenshot. The md5sum is for the .iso image not the ZIP file! I do not have any way of tracking how many times DingoPlus is downloaded as yet - so I would appreciate it is you could send an e-mail to tony.sales@rncb.ac.uk with the word 'dingoplus' as the subject along with any positive and/or negative feedback if you download it.

Update:

Wesnoth Special Edition*

Iso: http://www.rnc.ac.uk/mct/linux/dingoplus/dingoplus-wesnoth.zip (321mb)

md5sum: 04a3c2eeaf465c7f327bff067cd3767f dingoplus-wesnoth.iso

I have just uploaded a special edition of DingoPlus featuring the
Battle of Wesnoth turn based strategy game. This has exactly the same
applications as the original DingoPlus with the addition of SDL and The
Battle of Wesnoth. I have modified the Battle of Wesnoth so that it
starts in windowed mode because it cannot handle the 800x480 resolution
on the Asus Eeepc. However you can navigate the start screens by
enlarging it to 1024x768 by pressing alt and left mouse in the bottom
left corner, dragging it to the top right corner and dragging the
corner of the window.

Once you have started the game you can then maximise the window again
and navigate by using the cursor keys to scroll around the map and
hotkeys to play the game, and you can use Ctrl+Z/X to zoom in and out
if you want.

Extra Packages Included:

Puppy 3 packages: (http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/)

Gnocl (needed by RemoteDesktopClient)
Gtk+12 (needed by Linneighborhood)

Cloudy Skies Live

win2000 — Tue, 27 May 2008 10:06:14 -0500

Cloudy Skies Live
astronomy CD uses the entire Puppy 3.01 Linux as it's core and consists of over 2 dozen programs. In addition to these, there are also 4 JAVA applications and several smaller JAVA applets in 6 categories. Almost all of the astronomy software can be run just by a single click on its associated desktop icon. Documentation for each program is just two mouse clicks away from the desktop, accessed by clicking on the "START HERE" icon.

Compiz-Fusion wizard by Tombh was added to provide 3d accelerated graphics for the following video cards: nVidia (from GeForce2 onwards), ATI (from Radeon 7000 onwards), Intel (from i810 onwards) and Possibly newer SIS cards (but untested so far). The following programs require the use of these drivers for best performance: Celestia, coords, OpenUniverse, Planets3d, Skydome and Stellarium. A 3d graphics card is NOT a requirement to run these 6 programs but the frame rates might be very low. Wine has been installed to run three of the included Windows applications (Iris, Registax and Jupiter2). If you live in the USA, you may find the spreadsheet file "Zipcode 2 longitude" helpful since it includes over 33,000 zipcodes and gives the latitude and longitude for each, in both decimal degrees and degree, minutes and seconds.

There are hundreds and hundreds of thousands of stars included in the installed star catalogs for the seven planetarium programs. Integrated into the "Sky Charts" planetarium program are over 9,800 images (pictures) of the deep sky. All of this and much much more is included on Cloudy Skies Live and NO internet connection is required to use this software.

Humble system requirements:
Minimum usable would be about a PII 333Mhz with 256 MB ram and NO hard drive. For better results a 650 MHz (or higher) processer and a 3d graphics card is suggested.
If you have 900 MB of ram or more, the CD will load entirely into ram, freeing the CD drive for other uses and allowing programs to start much faster.

A special note to astronomy club members:
Cloudy Skies Live is very easy to customize for your clubs planetarium or meeting location. You can easily change the geographic locations in the program/s you wish (You could even change the background or add your clubs newsletter if you desired.)and then save those changes back to the CD! You could then make copies of it for all your astronomy club members.

Breeezy

raffy — Sat, 17 May 2008 09:08:38 -0500

An education-oriented build of Puppy Linux that is ready for the eeePC as well as for kiosk PCs. Breeezy is built to be a small browser of HTML pages, office documents and multimedia. Originally built as Safepup for browsing in Win-PCs without touching NTFS, it was ported to the eeePC in December 2007 using a flash-install procedure. There is also a remastering guide for the ISO. (This puplet can be deployed as network-booted Puppy using TFTP server and PXE booting).

Quotes from users:

"... that [is] stellar wifi setup that you have in there... also that most of the pages in the firefox browser fit nicely with out much scrolling side to side. Also I can play some online games that I couldn't play with the Xandros. The streaming video is very good, better than my Dell desktop. No breakups or hesitancy." - Lilahblossom

"I didn't fully appreciate breeezy until I started looking at other puppy and non-puppy distros and trying to get the network drivers installed and things like the Flash plug-in and divx playback support enabled. This is a *great* distro for Linux newbs like myself." - gadgetguyinva

"I was on my wpa network in about 5 minutes [of fresh installation]. This is a good alternative when I am on public hotspots." - ID

Hurt Me Plenty 01

hairywill — Wed, 14 May 2008 14:24:19 -0500

Doomsday + many addons and wads (extralevels, Doom1 shareware, freedom (doom2-clone) and more)
Quake2 shareware + many addons, engines + wads
Descent 2 shareware
Tuxracer
Dreamchess 2000
Some Flashgames

So it is a pure Game-Puppy.

No printing (cups removed), no office (abiword, gnumeric removed)

But you can go online, netsurf and seamonkey are included.

You also have wine, as it is needed for a helpfull tool to examine new Quake2 wads.

You will need a 700 or 800 MB CDR, I did not burn it myself, just ran it frugal.

NOP (Nearly Office Pup) 4.0 [revision 1]

hairywill — Mon, 12 May 2008 06:26:28 -0500

The author of this puplet is 'gray'.

NOP 4.0 is based on Puppy Linux 4.0 and uses the lightweight Xfce 4.4.2 desktop environment.

AbiWord word processor and Gnumeric spreadsheet editor have been removed, as well as games and some other non-essential applications. The idea is that you install to a flash drive (or frugal install on hard disc drive) and then add the OpenOffice sfs package (or a goffice sfs pack to restore AbiWord, etc). Hotpup has been modified so as to work with Xfce.

Differences to Puppy Linux 4.0:

Xfce 4.4.2 replaces JWM

Thunar replaces Rox as file manager (also includes video thumbnailers and audio metatagger)

Opera replaces Seamonkey as web browser (Opera also functions as good e-mail and BitTorrent clients)

xfburn replaces Pburn CD/DVD burner

xine-ui replaces gxine media player

Orage replaces Osmo personal organizer

Gtkbasic replaces puppybasic

galculator replaces all other calculators

Now at Revision 1 [31-May-2008]:

[-] gtkam
[-] fotoxx
[+] mtPaint
[+] GPicView
Pschedule updated to v0.6
Pwireless updated to v0.8.3
Pmirror updated to v0.3
Pfilesearch updated to v1.5
Pbackup updated to v3.10

Suggestions for improvements, problem reports, testing results, and congratulations to NOP's creator should be directed to this forum thread: Nearly Office Pup (NOP)

xdelta3 -d -s wNOP.iso wNOP0.1_0.2.delta wNOP_v0.2.iso

and the new ISO will thus be created. It can be verified with the wNOP-v0.2 md5sum at the top of this post.

This Youtube Video shows off a lot of the CF effects.

Release Information
I know I had been referring to this pending release as wNOP2, but seeing as it still hasn't achieved wNOP's primary goal of working on every card that supports Compiz-Fusion (see here for an explanation) I think the status of a whole number version should not yet be given. I hope that there is no confusion with the versionless wNOP, which *should* have been called wNOP-v0.1.

I have learnt a lot since I made wNOP, one of the most important being the graphics cards capable of running Compiz-Fusion, namely --

nVidia - from GeForce2 onwards
ATI - from Radeon 7000 onwards
Intel - from i810 onwards
Possibly newer SIS cards but untested so far

v0.2 has taken account of this and has removed weighty and uneeded DRI modules for unsupported cards, it also has a list of known unsupported cards. This list can, however, be overridden using the new manual option in the Compiz-Fusion Wizard at boot time.

Here are the other notable changes --

Based on NOPr2 (A nicely tweaked, well maintained and Xfce-based Puppy)
Intel cards based on i810 driver work out of the box
Fglrx driver added for newer ATI cards, but provides mostly unusable functionality
CF Wizard script now offers a simple Auto or Manual choice at first boot
Wobble Fairy Button on top panel magically fixes CF and Emerald crashes
Xfce default session edited to prevent an invisible taskbar at first boot
CCSM compiled to standalone executable, so Python is no longer needed
Lil-Polar cursor added
Gxine uses the xshm driver to enable video playback in CF (still not perfect)
Default Emerald theme is bluer for active windows
Lots of little things here and there

wNOPinspect is now integrated and can be run by simply typing

Code:

wNOPinspect

into the terminal. It will place wNOPdump.tar.gz on the desktop. If you are having problems with wNOP then please post this file to the thread.

Keep up to date with wow's latest goodies
Wow is really the pioneer behind Compiz-Fusion and Puppy, he led the way for getting it working and ceaselessly keeps us up to date with the latest versions. His Compiz-Fusion page is here. Here you can get the latest Compiz-Fusion and dependencies. Latest versions can be installed directly on top of existing versions - so easypeasy for wNOPers. However, you might also like to check out Screenlets and the Cairo dock.
Thankyou so much wow.

Patched Mplayer
A patched version of Mplayer is available that offers more improved and stable performance to Gxine as a video player under Compiz-Fusion. See the thread here.
