731799 2008-12-23 19:45:00 Well I had it running on a P3 with 128Mb RAM last night not as quick as this 2Gb dual core but ran just fine am thinking about installing it on that machine so I can have a proper play with it gary67 (56)
731800 2008-12-23 20:12:00 Let me be honest here, in the nicest possible way. Linux is not for everyone. If you can't get any Linux distro to run without problems, then Puppy will not be different. I don't think Linux and Joe are meant to be. :)

Does that mean no puppy for Joe for Christmas? :dogeye: (Note the entirely appropriate use of this icon!!)

731801 2008-12-23 20:23:00 I guess not if the Puppy doesn't want to play with Joe we can't force it to gary67 (56)
731802 2008-12-23 20:39:00 Am I hearing that I should try this? Remember that I have NEVER had anything L-based run for me up to now.

Is this the day it all changes? Or not?
Unlike vehicles, no sump full of oil is required, neither does the operator need to be fuelled.
Minimal choke should be required to start it.

I beg to differ this operator needs constant fuelling and regular refuelling :lol:

731804 2008-12-23 20:47:00 Well, the same happens here, but it is not conducive to OS installs. Maybe with Apples it is handy ;) R2x1 (4628)

I was so homely as a child.........

............... that my mother had to put a pork chop on a string around my neck to get the dog to play with me. <rimshot>

731807 2008-12-24 00:08:00 I think Puppy is wasted on a 2GB dual core pc. SUSE or similar would be better for that.

Puppy is more for alot less RAM and alot less CPU power.

Don't let me stop you experimenting in Linux though. Go for it!! :rolleyes:

I was just checking the CD had burnt OK and could not be bothered going to the garage to check it at the time, but have been running it on an old P3 and it runs well
