I've been wanting to learn a programming language for a long time now but i'm not exactly sure which one to choose. Oops, I missed the first paragraph: If you want to learn how to program and want to start by writing games Then go Python. Python is a modern and very accessible language, clear to re...

Is it supposed to try automatically reconnecting after losing the connection? No, Puppy will not try to reconnect. By design, one of the things that make Puppy fast and light is that it does not have daemons running on the background. In other distros or OSs, there is always something running to ch...

My aim is game development on linux and windows platforms, and not much else. Flash or DHTML games fall in that category. You can certainly use OpenLaszlo to do this http://www.openlaszlo.com I've developed in Open Laszlo under Puppy. usually a pain in the arse to get games to work on linux, and th...

A little bit more than 40 a little bit less than 42.

Note: In Mexico most people avoid saying they are 41. I'm just bowing to tradition.

Actually I feel very comfortable with Kino. Easy to learn, not too many complicated options. Imports video directly from your camera, converts other formats to DV automatically, etc. I've been able to very easily insert titles, transitions, watermarks, logos, etc. You may want to try it in a Puppy w...

Great!

I am sure there are enough puppians close by that can organize a BOF at the conference.

I hope you've already registered. It makes it easier for the organizers to plan if they have a fair idea of who's coming.

hi! I just received a reminder for the Ohio Linux Fest. I've attended the conference in past years and it is always fun and enlightening. Here is the reminder I got. Hopefully you'll be able to register. At least pass the voice. This is a non for profit conference free conference. Although if you re...

Oops. sorry for the delay and thank you for the reminder. I have an awful memory. I had totally forgotten. Well, Installed it on 4.2, made sure that rdesktop and gnocl were installed, Ran it from the console and got the error. Going back memory lane I remembered that I had to use a particular versio...

Can anyone recommend a resource for learning about using the command line, linux, etc? Hi Jennyyin, It really depends on what you want to do. "Linux" is not just one thing, it is different things for different people. Do you want to learn it as a user, administrator or developer? Please b...

I'll check on this.

I cannot promise it for tonight as I'm helping my father reinstall ubuntu. (he lives in Mexico, I live in Canada) so it's all over the phone.

WhoDo,

Great job coordinating and bringing this job to completion.

Thanks to all the people that contributed to a very successful Puppy CE

It was a long road but I am sure you can look back and think it was worth it.

My 1.3 cents (woow, I lost 0.7 cents with the crisis!) There are many ways to read forum numbers, Of course there may be opportunities to improve the forum but I don't think that the goal should be to attract "market share" but to help the ones that jump in. Don't try to read too much on t...

install this and then try it technosaurus, that would be if he wanted to install Quattro Pro for Windows, He's asking about Quattro pro for linux. The answer is. Usually those packages were created as bin's with statically linked libraries so there is a chance it will work. Using Puppy it is very e...

Bling, Pretty nice bling. Great first impression. Great as a default desktop. Why Bling to me? When I'm in Puppy I am usually running applications, not just looking at the desktop. When I'm using applications I tend to either A) maximize it if I'm using only one application or B) Tile them in the wh...

For something like that maybe avidemux doing cut and paste http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=1732354932&t=26251 I also advise to always search before asking the question. Here I'm not lecturing, it's just that you may find a lot more answers that way. For example: http://w...

Really Puppy 5.0 is Barrys, and you do not have his permission to lead this. He will be building it, releasing it etc, got it ?? Wow, I stop coming to the forum for a few months and when I'm back it's poisonous? Maybe through out those months you were assigned the spoke person role for Barry, or ma...

5. In /usr/share/applications/FirePup.desktop the line: Exec=/usr/lib/FirePupv4/firefox If I go to that file and "Open" it, Firefox runs rather than FirePup. :? I haven't installed or used FirePup but if /usr/lib/FirePupv4/firefox is an script you may be able to open with leafpad or geany...

No comprendo porque excluir Opera mientras usamos Java, Flash, muchos Adobe y otros, Bricscad en lugar de Autocad. ¿Si apareciera un programa que reprodujera powerpoints, tampoco lo usaríamos? El punto no es "usar o no usar" el punto es incluirlo como el browser principal en una distribuc...

Why? actually I would say, where is the surprise? Ain't the Guantanamo prison such a camp?

I especially love the way you denegrade his beliefs to the level of rubbish by your statement "most Conservatives are blind people that look at the beliefs. When they try to pass beliefs as news they are completely transparent, they cannot be taken seriously." This aren't beliefs, these a...
