What ever way you look at it , It's still like trying reinvent the wheel.

alphaOS (formerly known as archpup) was one of the best projects, this community has ever had. This whole forum was once glued to one of its threads. The problem was, that simargl was a bit too thin skinned and had a very low boiling threshold. Anger management issues, that is. However, he's an exceptionally talented kid. He knows how to build an OS, no one will take that away from him.

alphaOS wasn't good at all.

alphaOS wasn't good at all.

Except it's the only 64 bit linux which started right up and runs seamlessly, without any interference on my part. I thought someone would complain about systemd, and I might agree, but the version of alphaOs I came upon not only works ootb, it works well.

You're right, AlphaOS is a good running OS. The problem was/is that people have a problem with the developer. So they take the age old approach of dissing his work because they have a problem with him.

Sad how petty some people can be.

Well I have actually used it before and I only had problems with it. The biggest problem with alpha(-quality)OS was the always buggy and unstable Arch Linux base.

i have no problem with developers who are defensive. hell, i'm defensive. that said, i've tried the newer versions of Alpha OS, and found them buggy as hell. maybe the earlier spins worked well, i don't know. i don't have a problem with Arch, however, it's my primary OS.

No woof-built Puppy, use apt-get. Puppy uses its own package management system. But there are some Puppy-related distributions discussed on this forum too, such as FatDog64 mentioned in this thread.

Indeed, the forum does host the development threads for several Puppy-lookalike systems, which do use apt-get as their package management system:

DebianDog (Squeeze, Wheezy, and Jessie versions) and MintPup (Linux Mint 17 based). These have been specially crafted to be Puppy-sized, and to have a Puppy-like look and feel, but to also include several of their own Puppy-like utilities along with full Debian or similar compatibility. All are 32bit at the moment however:

DebianDog has been developed over quite a long period and its various flavours are quite well polished and stable:

MintPup is in its early development stages, but working well: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=99909

Funny enough i had the exact same problem in another thread.

Lets hope it's not about to fall over.

Wot no thick skinned ArchPup64?
Wot no Arm64 Puppy's?

My 64bit machine collapsed but what about the future?

Glad to hear of all the 64bit Puppy choices. Anyone review them all?

Maybe it was related to the later forum system upgrade.
