virus's

Southwest coast, Oregon. (the loggers on the history channel, that really is what it looks like around here) I knew something wasn't right because the modem indicators were busier than normal and system seemed slower. I couldn't find the problem, just had a hunch. I took it to one shop, he scanned i...

What? Not a windows product?

Hey Beem, But it has a windows manager! Just kidding! Of course it's not a Gate$$$ product, I wouldn't have downloaded and tried it out if it was. But even so, without some security measures in place, even Linux/Unix is vulnerable to malware and crackers! It is refreshing to be able to just turn on ...

Puppy love

Hi Alienjeff: I kind of like this distro. Been playing with a few other ones, but this one sure brings to life an older computer, and seems to be relatively easy to use. Am wondering though, is adding users supported in this distro? It doesn't have me log in at startup and I seem to have root privil...

hmmm, fixed

Alienjeff!!! You fixed it! Do you know if your method is the usual way to get Puppy installed or is it just peculiar to a certain type of pc? I'd like to use this on several installs.

(I don't want to share the hd with another OS and I don't want booting to be dependant ...
