Keenard announces Wireless Script: "I've spent the last several weeks working on a combination wireless diagnostic/configuration/ap detection tool. Trying to write it all in shell script, as my first script (fun fun, my grep/string handling is still buggy). Now that I've experience wireless drivers (ndis, kernel, and 'regular') I should be able to make it much more flexible."

Puppy works underwater. Submarine team report:∞
"Puppy did excellent. In the two days when we were scrambling back from the depths of failure we had to classify everything in terms of what we had and what we didn't. Focus of your strength and compensate for your failure. The PC104 stack hardware, the Puppy OS, the java code and our engines were our pillars on which we managed to stage our comeback. From the first minute of radical redesign and on the fly engineering Puppy always landed in the "works" column."
"Our deepest thanks to you guys for making and working on this distro. When the going got rough last week we were able to heavily lean on Puppy and the stability we saw last year in testing reaffirmed itself under heavy fire.
It worked. At this point - after the last week - that is the highest compliment I give anything and Puppy earned it in a big way."

Puppy crossed with Python - details shortly
klhrevolutionist "I have successfully installed python 2.4.1 on puppy, If anybody wants it I will set up
an arrangement for downloading. "if I am not aware of you on the forum, this is not for you"
Primarily we were looking for a minimalist install of Linux
that we could use in a very limited amount of space.
Alternatively (but not any less importantly) the puppy was just too damn cute not to use.
Puppy has been very stable, despite our best efforts to break it.
The distro is running on a PC104 stack located inside of a submarine tube.
There has been extensive hardware work conducted while the stack was in operation
and many abrupt shut downs. Despite our best efforts we only managed
to corrupt the OS once. Reinstall took less than an hour.
Any other OS (and our previous Linux experiments) corrupted on a regular and routine basis.
We are leaving for competition tomorrow morning. We'll let you know how it goes.
We just wanted to say thanks for providing an excellent OS distro
that has served as an excellent basis to work around."
