What is Puppy Linux? I haven't really been keeping up with the distros very well but I know the main names... I just haven't gotten into Linux because of the lack of game support(I play mmorpg's a lot).

You have the following choices for file managers: Konqueror (KDE 3's is pretty much an all-in-one file manager), Dolphin, Nautilus, Thunar and PCManFM. If you want simplicity, go with Thunar; if you want slightly more than that, go with PCManFM; likewise, Nautilus; likewise, Dolphin; likewise, KDE 3's Konqueror. QUOTE(rpgsearcherz @ Nov 26 2008, 02:43 AM)  What is Puppy Linux? Puppy Linux. It's basically a lightweight Linux distro (similar to DSL in a sense) that can run on Apple computers. If i'm not mistaken, that is all it was made to do—make Linux available on Apple computers.

I don't think puppy was designed for that ...
What is Puppy Linux?
Puppy Linux is an operating system for computers. Other well-known
Operating systems are Microsoft Windows, Apple OSX, and MS-DOS. Puppy
Linux is based on GNU/Linux. It is completely free and open source software.
Is there a Manual?
Manual
How is Puppy Different?
- Small size, around 93MB! This lends itself to some very useful and unique features
- 'Live' booting from CDs, DVDs, USB flash drives, and other portable media.
- Ability
To run entirely from RAM, making it unusually fast and particularly
Relevant to modern PCs with solid state CF drives as used in Netbooks
- Very low minimum system requirements
- Boot times, well under a minute
- Usability and Compatibility
-
Complete range of applications: wordprocessors, spreadsheets, internet
Browsers, games and image editors. Extra software in the form of
Dotpets and dotpups. There is a Puppy Software Installer included
- Puppy
Is easy to use and little technical knowledge is assumed. Hardware is
Automatically detected. You will often find, whereas on other operating
Systems you had to install extra driver software to get your particular
Device functioning, Puppy will succesfully detect and install the
Driver without prompting.
How is Puppy organised?
It depends on what is trying to be achieved
Version 4.2 of Puppy is a benevolent dictatorship run by project leader Warren
Individual projects are run by individuals or a core cell of individuals
Because Puppy is both flexible and fast, we can set up an organization as required for a given aim
Who owns Puppy?
We all do. Puppy is covered by the LGPL license an open source license
Who created Puppy?
Puppy Linux was first released in June 2003 by Barry Kauler The
Community, is completely organic without any formal agenda or
Structure. It often takes newcomers a while to realise that there
Aren't really any rules to Puppy, if you want to do something, make a
New Puplet, offer your skills or take things in a new direction you can
Just do that, no-one will stop you!
Where does the name come from?
"The real Puppy, the mascot for Puppy Linux, was a very tiny
Dog, a Chihuahua, but totally fearless. He didn't seem to know that he
Was vulnerable because of his small size. Once when my sister was
Visiting my country property, she brought her Blue Heeler, a very solid
Middle-sized dog named Muti. We were out walking, and suddenly there
Was a substantial rustling of branches of a large bush, something was
In or behind the bush. Muti took fright and ran back behind the legs of
My sister, whereas Puppy got into launch position in front of the bush
And barked furiously. It turned out to be my dad playing a trick on the
Dogs. Puppy used to chase kangaroos and other big wild animals. Anyway,
Puppy Linux is like that, reckless, unshackled, in memory of the mascot" Barry Kauler.

File manager for Puppy 4
File Manager In Puppy Linux
I just added one to Puppy 4.2 last night, on another computer. Search the Murga board, it installed easily and looks good so far. 2 panes for a better overall control. If I find my way back here, I'll post later the exact thread I found it in. I don't think it's one of those listed above.

File Manager In Puppy Linux
I have been trying to find a version of *nix that will load from a live CD on the kids PC (aka old junker they can destroy if it comes to that). I'm tried of reloading M$ OS on it. I've looked at Fedora, Ubuntu, DSL, and now Puppy because it was rated high on the list when I did a Google for Linux Live CD.
I run WinXP on my machine because I'm a *nix noob to the nth degree. I have been playing with different ISO download using Virtual PC 2007, and if I like it well enough, I burn the CD and go try it on the kids machine.
I like Puppy so much right now that I may see about how to get set up for dual boot on my machine. The drawbacks are that I don't know enough about *nix distro's and commands to make it useful. I've spent the last 3 hours searching for how to install Thunar without giving up the core Puppy desktop. I first ran across Thunar in one of the Fedora distro's I downloaded, and I like it a lot better that this Rox or whatever Puppy came with. And that's how I wound up here on this forum. But alas, still no answer for this noob.
But all this rambling to throw my .02 into the arena and tell anyone wondering about Puppy... It's the best, fastest loading, easy to use, straight forward, and good looking distro I've played with. And when I learn to do more in *nix in general, I'll have this Puppy grown up and patrolling its own yard.
