For lean and net-worthy slack57-ff23 with unnecessary video drivers removed / is about 450Mb. No Office, no flash, no Java, youtube on HTML5.
Both run OK on a 700 series eee and much better on the Atom-based eee's.
Good choice. Been using my customized version now for a long time. Have older WINE and older Java built in. Base SFS is 100MB. Try and beat that.cypher51 wrote:My favorite is 4.1.2 barebones which I am currently building into the OS that I can really use. It's very stable, easy to work with, and runs great on older hardware.
Which windows manager does Carolina use? Looks a lot like the windows xp embedded theme on my windows computer.battleshooter wrote:My vote to Carolina. It seems to be the easiest Puppy I've compiled on, and I dig its easy to adjust eye candy. Don't think I could ever go back to rox/JWM or even rox/icewm... and I used to love Icewm
Another great thing I didn't count on when I made it the standard to install on other people's computers, is that it's easier for them to change whatever they need to because it's all clearly labeled in the Control Panel.
Xfce4. Quite light, responsive and gorgeous when tweaked with the excellent tools that come provided.nic007 wrote:Which windows manager does Carolina use?
I'll probably be more interested in the lite version. Where can I download Carolite or whatever they call it? Or maybe a puplet with that windows manager based on an older puppy like the 4 series.Moat wrote:Xfce4.

If you (or anybody reading this, for that matter) haven't given Carolina a try, do yourself a favor!Agreed with battleshooter - Carolina is outstanding. My go-to Pup when I just want to get on with computing instead of fiddling.

As Moat said, XFCE. The XFWM theme (window manager) theme is Numix in case you were wondering.nic007 wrote:Which windows manager does Carolina use? Looks a lot like the windows xp embedded theme on my windows computer.
The working window looks quite alike to me. BTW, are there other icons available for XFCE? Those in your pic looks a bit crappy to me (is it the default).battleshooter wrote:As Moat said, XFCE.

I'm curious though as to what theme you're referring to because Numix looks nothing like the Windows XP Embedded theme:
Nope it's not default, I picked those icons myself because I like themnic007 wrote: BTW, are there other icons available for XFCE? Those in your pic looks a bit crappy to me (is it the default).
The best I found for a basic 3.01 setup is Firefox 17ESR Akita .pet.Colonel Panic wrote:I'm finding that a lot of websites now won't load in the older browsers which come with some of the earlier Pups I like (such as Fire Hydrant, which is based on Puppy 3.01), and unfortunately that limits my choice of the Pups I can use on a daily basis.
