The MacPup just came out, I'm downloading it now, download site sucks though.

Development Release: Macpup 511
Annoucement on Distro Watch Click Here

"Macpup Johnny Lee has announced the release of Macpup 511, a Puppy-based
distribution featuring the Enlightenment 17 window manager:"

Can't do the graphics or the lan on the newest Dell I bet, Puppy 511 can't. Works
great on the Foxconns.

Not working well in Virtual Box but I got some partial screenshots:

Can't see the screenshots from work (Siemens blocks some sites for no apparent reason but I can go to youtube and facebook!?)
I'll take a look later.
Thinking I might get Tracy a Kindle for Christmas. Supposed to be the best ereader. The $139 version only has wifi and the $189 version offers 3g as well. Not sure I need the 3g as she'll probably just download books from the house.

Obviously they don't check the sites themselves or they'd let you go to your
father's safe web site with no spam, virus, javascript or flash.

Maybe 'cause it's the straight link with no official domain that you requere to view
my pages? http://69.39.232.73/~thumpnet/main/P11/macpupscreens.html
instead of http://thumpnet.com/main/P11/macpupscreens.html

Oh well, I'll email it to you.

Yeah, screenshots look Ok. Not sure what kind of functionality it will afford you but something new to check out I guess.

It's completely functional but didn't work good in Virtual Box while Windows was running.
I prefer the regular Puppy 511 though and I installed one of a USB drive to send you
but after I got finished I found out it doesn't work well on the new Dell. It doesn't get
the graphics right and the screen is green. It works but that sucks.

Works on every other computer I have here and works great, doesn't put your
Computer at risk no matter where you go online. Pity it doesn't work on the new
Dell.
