Puppy 3.01.

PaulBx1 · #22 Post by **PaulBx1** » Mon 25 Aug 2008, 04:04

2.16.1 seems to work best on my old Thinkpad A21m although I have hopes for 4.1. Other versions seemed to have something major broken, most often gxine. Anyway, stuck on 2.16.1 for now.

i tried them all, i really like 4.0

i think 4.1 is shaping up to have the broadest possible range of hardware support of any version so far.

a couple more weeks of solid testing by the die hards here and we might all push this whole thing to the next level.

Puppy 301, once I'd changed cups to the earlier version (as in 4.0) so that I could print to my windows printer.

Puppy 4.0 is a dead duck for me- Abiword has never printed to my printer, in any Puppy, (except momentarily in an early version of 4.) In earlier Puppies I use Ted, but it won't work in 4- missing libraries.

I've used 2.16, 2.17, 2.14R, 3.01 and 4.0.

CPU 600MHz, 256k mem.

Puppy 2.17.1 worked flawlessly with whatever I threw at it. My second favorite is 4.0, which I currently use. My expectations are high for 4.1 though!

I'm new to Puppy as in 4.00. I tried 4.1alpha7 but was having network problems. Dingo works great here.

Dingo (puppylinux 4.0)

I normally use puppy in usb, with 256MB pup_save file, In puppy 3.01, When I install large petget file, it will throw 'don't have enough space', but when I manually calculate the space, it is far enough to extract and install.

But I didn't encounter this kind of error on Dingo, thanks for Developers who noticed and changed. I think 4.0 is a perfect system for a USB key. All we need is packages.

I think dingo is the best yet! I mean if it had automatic KDE support that would be sweet. Maybe if they do that in 5.00 it would be cooler!

Puppy main release would never provide KDE support, That would add a min 40MB to 600+MB to the size.
But If you told use which applications you like on KDE basically, Its possible to get them working as a addon user supplied pet or sfs.

This is actually pretty cool. I wonder if John Biles could add a poll so we could see the results more clearly?

puppy 3.01 - wireless support on laptops.

Great post, now I'm willing to try some older 2.x versions.

I'm also encouraged to update my 3.01 with some 4.0 looks and hopefully features.

Frankly I'm glad to see others have had issues with 4.0. I thought I was the only one.

Eyes-Only · #34 Post by **Eyes-Only** » Tue 16 Sep 2008, 22:40

I've used them back as far as 1.02. I loved 3.01---like everyone else---due to the Slacky compatibility. I have a hard drive install of 4.0 and I can get just about anything running on it though by doing the dependency check, staying mainly within gtk2, and grabbing libs from my other distros or from Ttuuxxx.

So no complaints from 4.0 here.

Amicalement,

Started with 2.11, and things just got better as time went on (though 2.15CE didn't suit my personal taste).

2.16 was best overall for stability - 3.01 was close, though, and was Slackware-compatible (so at last I could play Frozen Bubble on Puppy!). .....

I've had too many networking issues with 4.0 to put it at the top of my list, unfortunately.

Ecopup for the wide range of software and games whilst being very easy for non geeks to use and accept. Hasn't stopped me using range of other pups before and after however.

Puppy 2.17.1 is most advanced version with the least bugs.

recycler · #38 Post by **recycler** » Thu 18 Sep 2008, 07:16

tried a lot of versions from 2.17 on.I use 4.0 mostly and that is the one I hand out to people (along with a few choice pet packages as treats; mostly from ttuuxxx

). Also the ultra lite version of firehydrant goes well on my notepad.

Looking forward to using 4.1 as well.

Colonel Panic · #39 Post by **Colonel Panic** » Sun 21 Sep 2008, 21:53

I can't get dialup to work in 4.00 whereas it does in all the others I've tried.

I liked Pizzapup but it's a bit old now; I'm looking forward to Pizzasgood's new one when he's finished it.

I haven't tried them all but the best ones I've used so far have been 3.01 and Lighthouse 2.15.
