Pioneering Fatdog 64 Moves Ahead
April 14, 2010 - Kirk has updated Fatdog 64 to Beta2.
Xorg now auto configures itself and the default keyboard is "US" and the default timezone is GMT -5. You can change these in the setup menu.. The old xorgwizard is still there if you want a detailed xorg.conf, just hit ctrl -alt-backspace to exit the Xorg server and at the prompt type xorgwizard-old, and then xwin to restart Xorg.. Firefox now runs as user spot, anything you download goes into the Downloads folder on the desktop. At the first shutdown, after making your save file, you'll be asked if you want to move the Downloads folder to the same place as your save file. Most will want to answer yes to that.. No lzma compression now.. using squashfs 4.0, any old squashfs 3.1 sfs files won't work with it..

Continuous Improvement to Official Puppy with Stardust 4.3.1

March 12, 2010 - Official Puppy gets continuous improvement with Zigbert's Stardust 4.3.1, now version 013.
Focus on desktop flow and ease of use.
- Desktop in DeepThought taken to next stage.
- Cleanup in apps, menus and kilobytes.
BE AWARE!!! If you have Puppy installed, you MUST run this with the prefix 'puppy pfix=ram'. Else, the Stardust desktop will not install.
For version 013, I encourage all users to NOT use Puppy Stardust, but instead help technosaurus with Puppy 4.4.
Get the latest Stardust 13 here (user=puppy password=linux).

UPup from Woof the Puppy Linux Builder
March 4, 2010 (Update) - UPup Made with Woof and with GLX/DRI is shared by playdayz (now version 4.58).
Forum member playdayz shares his puplet uPup based on Ubuntu Karmic.
This uPup was made with Woof.. It is basically a default build of Karmic Puppy, with two exceptions: 1) the GLX/DRI video driver files have been included and enabled; 2) few extra files have been added.
Ideally uPup will correctly install your video card and also install the glx/dri files. That can be checked by Menu -> System -> System status and config -> Hardinfo -> Display and scroll down to see that glx/dri are enabled.

New NOP Puppy
Oct 25, 2009 - NOP, the excellent Puppy Linux series by Forum member Gray, has a 4.3.1 version!
"Nearly Office Pup is a puplet with office apps removed and using the XFCE desktop. The idea is that the puplet is run from frugal install or USB stick and an appropriate SFS file of your favourite office apps is used. Usually this would be OpenOffice, but could be Goffice (Abiword & Gnumeric) or even Koffice.
For Goffice (Abiword & Gnumeric) try the goffice-43.sfs file at the above site.
NOP 431 is based on Puppy 4.3.1 but with the Xfce / Thunar desktop replacing JWM / Rox, and of course Abiword & Gnumeric, Homebank, notecase removed. Opera 10 replaces Seamonkey as the web browser.
Pwidgets 2.5 is included but not active by default."

Puppy-4.2.1-MULTIUSER.iso
Nov 10, 2009 - Puppy-4.2.1-MULTIUSER.iso revision 3 is available!
"This is a multiuser version [revision 2] of Puppy 4.2.1. Initially, it should work just like a normal 4.2.1 Puppy - you are automatically logged in as root. However, there are a few new wizards in the Setup section of the menu. One for adding new users. One for changing your password. And one for disabling the automatic login. The idea here is that this could be used as a standard Puppy, without impacting the vast majority who like to be root, while still allowing the few who really have good reasons to not be root to do as they choose with minimum effort. Which also means they stop complaining about how they don't like being root. So it's a win for everybody."
