Is there a Puppy with KDE 3 or Gnome 2?

#1 Post by Senex »

Is there any current or previous release that uses either KDE version 3, or Gnome version 2?

Maybe this will be useful:

I think there was a puplet based on Puppy 4.1.1 or something which was built with KDE but I can't remember the name of it.

It's not Puppy, but Slax was a lightweight distro with working KDE.

I'm planning on buying various DVDs/CDs of distros I'll trial from OSDisc, LinuxCD.org, etc. Just wanted to make sure there was no KDE 3 or Gnome 2 release before I settled for JWM.

Why would you want to buy discs...? You on dialup or something?

If you're in the US, I'll be glad to send you a CD-RW of a Puplet, if you want.

Also: JWM isn't that much different from KDE or GNOME except in terms of it's less flashy. If flashy is what you're after... well... you're probably not looking for Puppy, because Puppy is about speed and flashy stuff just slows Puppy down ;)

KDpup-484 with KDE 3.5 from dejan555 is perfect. I use this puplet as my main OS the last six months. It has also JWM and ICEWM desktop, but I use KDE mostly. It works fine on a computer with 512 RAM and 1,5 Ghz processor. There is a light KDE version in the same link. Use the link from my signature or from here:

Starhawk asks:

"Why would you want to buy discs...?"

D-Mak responds:

"Well, for one reason, some providers sell discs with nice labels...then again, it is easier and cheaper to burn the ISO onto a blank disc. And write on it with a felt-tip marker. Making my own labels is something I don't know how to do yet. And this brings me to my next point. There was a time when I didn't know how to properly record an ISO onto a disc, and around that time I ventured into OS's on LiveCD's. As such, it is easy to imagine that I had to buy those first LiveCD's.

:D Hello,
I use Lightscribe for Linux...
Labels suck..
But yes, until you find burncdcc for windows, you need to burn them from Linux.. Catch 22...

Windoze users, burncdcc works great to burn Linux ISO`s...

Free, Googleable, and effective...
