The Future of Puppy Linux

[Bernie_by_the_Sea]

[quote="Bernie_by_the_Sea"]Your imagination runs wild. I have never spent a single cent to keep XP going. I’ve probably spent less than an hour in eight years keeping it going. I’ve never spent a single cent on virus software. I’ve never spent a single cent on malware detection. I’ve never updated a single thing on XP, security or otherwise. My XP is just as it came off the DVD from 2006 and the XP version I used for two years before that was never “updated.

Bernie,

Sounds like you're having some fun with this, and you have an interest in Hindu studies, and maybe Ann Rand? I'm confused about the cult thing though. Who's the leader, Barry?

[quote="Bernie_by_the_Sea"] You fell for Microsoft marketing. I didn’t. There is never any need for Microsoft to continue “supporting

Blah, blah, blah ... meh?

Still got all your hair, Steve?

In the cult of Puppy, you can see pics of (Whodo), Warren (bottom left), MU and Barry

Yes that is my Puppy Shrine.

You can play with trolls if you wish, they are always right and know everything. I am part troll myself (on my fathers side) so
I know what to feed them when Nothing is too hard . . .

You can also engage with the future of Puppy
which strangely enough comes from the Church of Bob
and is very 'Slack' (no chance of ex-communication then)

Lobster that Church of Bob sounds interesting. I would need some slack.

the problem is that some of the Slackware guys told me that nooby are too slack for their liking. I had assumed that Porteus was based on Slackware and they told me it was not.

I had read that on Distro Watch so I was kind of in good faith.

Your lack of Faith will save you

`Slack` is similar to the concept of wuwei
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_wei
an advanced form of action involving non-doing
I use it in Tai Chi Chuan

The trick with Puppy is knowing where it is going . . .
We know for instance that the best Pups are currently woof
powered: Dpup, Spup, Lucid
but other from Big Bass, Kirk (64bit Fatdog), Ttuuxxx, Jemimah and Igu (Calf) are also progressing. Skills are being honed.

Most amazingly, the strong individuality is quite spontaneously
producing more co-operative compiling and work on each others efforts.
It must be organic.

Puppy Linux
Go with the Flow

[nooby]

There is great power in human cooperation but there is great innovation power in individual take on things too. I mean if Barry had not had his individual take on how to do things then no Puppy would have ever emerged and all of us who love Puppy had to do with lesser Linux

I guess I'll take GuanYin with Wuwei. Why chose when one can have both.

Bernie,

Sounds like you're having some fun with this, and you have an interest in Hindu studies, and maybe Ann Rand? I'm confused about the cult thing though. Who's the leader, Barry?

I've studied all the major religions and many minor ones. Almost all are complete nonsense but still I feel Buddhism and Hinduism are greatly to be preferred over the fanatics in Islam, Judaism and Christianity. On an everyday basis I try to avoid doing business with Christians (not always possible since I have two uncles and four cousins who are ministers -- it runs in the family as my great-great-grandfather was one of the co-founders of the Methodist movement). My theological notions tend towards a greatly modified Tipler Omega Point, a mathematical/scientific approach to religion, the idea that God does not yet exist but One is evolving. My interest in Rand is solely to laugh at her disciples. Not all cults have leaders and in fact most don’t. Many cult founders, like Ayn Rand, fought the cultism and worship but the cult developed anyway. Most cults are harmless like those who defend Pepsi over Coke and Ford over Chevy and Puppy over Ubuntu.

It can be fun when cultic adherents come into full blossom. Sometimes I see how far they will go preaching their nonsense. Puppy does have some valuable aspects but it's in danger of being destroyed by the vocal cultic element. The future of Puppy depends on weeding out the cultists and moving in more engineer/scientist types. That's where strong leadership comes in.

Rational support of good ideas is not cultism.

Of course, then there are those who created a cult on purpose (e.g. L. Ron Hubbard )

Some think of Buddhism as a religion, others (I would suggest more correctly) as a philosophy -- which results in great mirth when someone expounds that "Buddhists believe this, and Buddhists believe that...".

I recall a riotous party many years back, where some vegan, tea-totaling Buddhists were lecturing the vicarious, meat eating, hard drinking Buddhists that their way was "wrong"...

O.M. The impulse which moves a person to do things—the only impulse that ever moves a person to do a thing.

Y.M. The ONLY one! Is there but one?

O.M. That is all. There is only one.

Y.M. Well, certainly that is a strange enough doctrine. What is the sole impulse that ever moves a person to do a thing?

O.M. The impulse to CONTENT HIS OWN SPIRIT—the NECESSITY of contenting his own spirit and WINNING ITS APPROVAL.

Y.M. Oh, come, that won't do!

O.M. Why won't it?

Y.M. Because it puts him in the attitude of always looking out for his own comfort and advantage; whereas an unselfish man often does a thing solely for another person's good when it is a positive disadvantage to himself.

O.M. It is a mistake. The act must do HIM good, FIRST; otherwise he will not do it. He may THINK he is doing it solely for the other person's sake, but it is not so; he is contenting his own spirit first—the other's person's benefit has to always take SECOND place.

Y.M. What a fantastic idea! What becomes of self-sacrifice? Please answer me that.

O.M. What is self-sacrifice?

Y.M. The doing good to another person where no shadow nor suggestion of benefit to one's self can result from it.

Hahah the Future of Puppy Linux is to become the new Slack Religion.
No Tyrant dictating us and total anarchy on version numbers. Repos from all over the place and Life should be fun is the motto of the Puppyites.

Yes indeed Puppy rules

at least here in my home. There is nothing like it. So what is the future.

A personal Puppy version for each user through total customizing modularity and flexibility.

...ahhhh, yes, Lobster.....I am of the "Church of Bob" (via Slackware). That's what got me hooked on Puppy back with 3.01. That's still my favorite Puppy. I'm still a "Slacky", on my main computer, however.
Hey, WhoDo!!! Always good to see you around! And Bernie,...(Bernie,..Bernie,...Bernie,......)
I'm also getting up there in the "older" crowd, myself. You have a lot of great knowledge about linux and stuff. But gee, man,......this is a forum by, and for Puppy Linux. Yes,..it may not be exactly like some of the really "Top" linux distros (Puppy was never meant to be). It's just good for what it is. Look at it this way, Bernie,........us "older" folks can't really change what these "youngsters" are doing, anyhow,...... (chill out and enjoy).

Look out, Lobster....

This entire thread has turned to a bad dream. Can we agree to disagree? Can we give constructive feedback please.

I am pretty new here, but i am prepared to bolt (from the forums - definitely not puppy!). this is because I look at the forums as a place to share TRUTHS, EXPERIENCES, THOUGHTS, HELP and IDEAS.

I know I don't have to read the threads, but I start when there is a topic that interests/pertains to me. Or maybe I can offer helpful advice, either way, i do end up in threads that go off on a tangent - I must admit, (I didn't think about it at the time), make a comment about my experience with Internet explorer..

What do you say?
