Gnoppix, Gnuine OS, VaniladPup, OpenMandrivaGold and Linux Tracker
This is a little note on all the threads in Linux Tracker for latest Linux Distribution and Puppy Linux.
My primary advice is if one wants to test a Linux distribution one should download it by Linux Tracker.
With Torrent Download from Linux Tracker one gets a complete Image of a distribution.
One missing file may upset running of a distribution.
Besides one becomes a seeder for torrent which helps quick download.
Point to point download is a pain and I never use them and lot of them contribute to missing files.
Puppy Linux has become active Knoppix completely inactive.
Gnoppix is a Genome derivative of Knoppix.
GnuineOS is a Gnome derivative of Puppy.
S15Pup64 is a Slackware derivative of Puppy.
Slackware was the beginning of Linux until Debian came into existence.
All this after I have tested and installed Ubuntu, Sparky Linux Game Over, Emmabantus (my favorite due to enormous number of packages and easy and effortless configuration of Wireless Mobiles and Dongles and Sparky Linux from Russia (very good distribution).
OpenMandrivaGold (Mandriva was my first entry to Linux) is a Calculate and Rosa based Russian distribution gone inactive and is revived by this community.
I have installed OpenMandivaGnome on an exteranl disk and it is a fabulous distribution.
The desktop is really beautiful and has a new look.
It had minor glitches with the GRUB Install (I have 8 distributions installed in three hard disks and even I myself get confused when locating individual distributions) but using Debian as my last installed fixed the problem without editing the GRUB file manually.
It is a pain to watch YouTube demonstration on how to test Linux on a black terminal (Virtual Machine scenario).
It is nothing like testing a Live USB/DVD.
Sparky Linux Game Over is pretty good for playing Linux (one can download both Steam and Play Linux) Games.
My Linux Update earlier should be ignored.
Puppy Linux is less than 500 MB and when downloading look for 32 bit and 64 bit versions.
32 bits for old computers and 64 bit is for new computer.
I have to delay publishing my book Linux Fundamentals, for the time being.
Happy Christmas and enjoy some Linux games instead of Buggy and bloated Window games.
Apple OS is falling behind drastically.
