Finally got some time to play with this. Your explanation was great @bigpup. I managed to do a full install on both my laptops. Everything works great now (-: One issue I am experiencing is that FireFox isn't really performing as well as I would want it to. It's a bit slow-laggy, especially when I o...

Thanks for the welcome @gcmartin! :-) Unfortunately I'm a very basic user (using just FireFox, and perhaps a writing program). My abilities to report issues is very limited. I can however help out in translating stuff in Serbian language (language shared by Ex-Yugoslavian countries - Serbia, Croatia...

I tried this version a few minutes ago and it seems extremely laggy. Laptop used was an ancient IBM T23 ThinkPad. Pentium 3, 1333Mhz, 512MB Ram, 30GB HDD. Booted via USB. The mouse pointer was very laggy. I had to wait a lot of time to do anything, like click the initial "OK" button. Also ...

The laptop is completely empty. I bought it just to do some writing and surfing. Can you guys comment on the safety of using XP now that it is no longer supported? If I don't download anything (apart from official software like FF), am I in the clear to use it (unapdated version), or can my security...

Wow guys! I'm really impressed with how helpful this community is. Thank you for the great tips! All of you! (-: I also really like Puppy Linux. Been playing with it for several hours last night and am now seriously considering using it as a primary OS. Still a few things to figure out, but getting ...

@bigpup, Your solution worked like a charm! I am now writing to you via Slacko, FireFox Version 31.0 I also figured out why I wasn't able to install anything on Precise: it wasn't connect to the Internet. :/ I figured wired connection is made automatically. That was silly of me. When the same happen...

Thanks a lot @bigpup and @Semme. I really appreciate your help! Dealing with extreme newbies such as myself probably isn't easy, so once again, thank you!

Will try it out and will report back if I have any issues (hopefully not since it was explained in such a nice manner).

Last night I tried installing Precise version instead of Slacko. It didn't have FF at all. It has SeaMonkey instead. For some reason it had trouble opening websites (wired ADSL connection, instant find). It opens Google, finds a match but can't open the website. Tried installing FF from that package...

@dk60902, clicking on Help - About FF didn't help me. It said the browser was up to date and it obviously wasn't.

@Semme, will definitely try it out. Still a little bit confused as to how Linux works, but hopefully I will get passed that soon.

Thanks for the tips guys! I appreciate it! (-:

Hi guys, I need a small and mobile OS that has the following two things: 1. Up-to-date version of FireFox (so I can Sync to my account) 2. Text reader/writer that has no problem reading .doc files. Tried my luck with Puppy Linux yesterday (first ever Linux try). The FireFox version on it is 17.00 (S...
