thank you darry, nic, mikeb, fossil, coder, and ricortes

I decided to try out wary, at least for starters

got everything to work ok, tried out seamonkey and gnumeric

I've still got a few questions, but I'm tired right now

just wanted to say thanks to all who posted.

the Non-PAE (or retro) version of Precise 5.7.1 might offer more software choices Thank you, ardvark. More choices, but I may not need more than the basics. Security is a much higher priority for me than new functions. If, for example, there was a more secure browser that I could use with precise r...

Thanks for your reply, puppyluvr Sounds to me like you've got a pretty good handle on things. :D For machine with 512 RAM, Wary would be a better choice than Racy. Also the 4 Series puppies would be a good choice. Wary seems like it would run better, but would Racy's later kernel give it any securit...

didn't know it was an OS or browser dependent issue. I'm just a newbie puppy, ya know

Get my pm? Yes. My last post didn't appear here though, I'll have to retype. I chalk it up to lack of familiarity with the forum OS: XP Professional version 2002, service pack 3 Browser: Firefox 35 about registration failure at BKHome: I got the point where I was supposed to receive a registration ...

You say otherwise? Time'll tell.. Well, I have not made any such claim. Still haven't even downloaded puppy yet, still reading up. In any case, I thought reporting the bad link would be a minor service to the Puppylinux community, and maybe someone who can register/ is registered could pass the inf...
