Congratulations again to those creating and providing feedback
to 5.1 which is now announced on Distrowatch.
My favourite 5.1 features?
Straight to desktop and Quickpet
and being able to run GL (accelerated graphics driver)
- I been playing the game 'Gridwar2' (see above image)
- in our forum games section for those so inclined
The combination of the update button
directly in the Quickpet NEWS section
(We have had two updates already) works great
Being able to choose a Browser
is so civilized and I am now a Firefoxee
and Kompozer user
Others may have gone Operatic or
become Chrome Seamonkeys . . .
- yep why not have several browsers . . .
If you have the processing and broadband - 'Google earth' is great
My Lucid Dreams video was done with the 'Openshot' upgrade
announced in Quickpet News
The Openshot program is easy but unstable
but when I did the video
it never crashed once - I am happy
Perhaps because I only used stills . . .

A very simple and pleasing improvement
- the messages that appear
when for example, downloading programs
- usual center screen
Again a simple improvement
As Playdayz mentions great efforts
were made to improve localisation
and that too is recognised
Larry (Playdayz) and Mick have
achieved a great success
Warren has ensured Puppy looks good
It was heartening to see people finding the time
to test the many alpha and beta releases.
I am very grateful for
such a secure, friendly,
responsive, working operating system
Yep I am a Lucid fanboy!
I hope everyone will retain their good will
and enthusiasm into 5.2
Some ideas here:
Puppy52
* Boot up menu, with extended options
" Window manager of choice (similar to Quickpet browser choice)
* More QuickPet Puppy optimised programs
* Extended Lucid Puppy News in Quickpet

Long Live Linux
Be a Happy Puppy
