Downloading openSuSE 13.1, ISO question. ' openSUSE-13.1-DVD-x86_64.iso.torrent' the 341.0 Kb torrent file. The OS loaded flawlessly, and I was on the internet within minutes!!! I am surfing the web from a Puppy Linux OS at a wireless hotspot that I was never able to connect to in openSuSE 12.1!!! Man, I am happy! Nov 4, 2010 - Linux is so useful, you don't even need to install it before it gets to work. You can find downloads via the Torrent tracker (probably the best way to get. The ISO image for Puppy Linux is less than 200MB, and can live entirely in. For work documents I use Dropbox to keep my writing and notes backed up. The first time that you boot Simplicity Linux you will presented with a “Quick Setup” screen that lets you choose your country, time zone and keyboard layout. You can also choose your computer’s hostname and adjust screen settings. You might notice a checkbox that says “Run internet apps as spot”. Puppy Linux doesn’t really have the concept of users. Everything you do within Puppy is done as the root user and some people think this is insecure. The “spot” user is a user that has less privileges and so the option to run as “spot” lets you choose to run internet facing applications with less power, if you are concerned about security. When you press “OK” you will boot into the main Simplicity interface. Before you get too involved in using Simplicity it is worth rebooting the system as this will give you the opportunity to create a save file. A save file can be saved anywhere. You can save it on a Windows partition, within a Linux partition or on the same USB drive you used to boot Simplicity. You will be asked to specify whether the file should be created with an ext2, ext3 or ext4 file system. You will also be asked how big the file should be. Your choice here will be governed by how much you think you will be installing and how much space you think you will use during the course of time. After you have made your choices the save file will be created and your system will reboot. The next boot of Puppy Linux takes a bit longer as it sets up the new save file. This is a one time only performance hit and any subsequent boots should be back to normal. One thing I did notice which was a bit frustrating was that if you chose not to create a save file then you are forced to wait 240 seconds before the computer will shut down. It may feel like a minor point because most people will want to create a save file. If however you booted from a CD and chose to use one of the internal Puppy tools to create a bootable Flash drive then you will want to reboot into the USB drive without creating a save file. First Impressions. This review could have been so much different.
![]() Excellent review, thanks. I was using Puppy Precise on an old 1 GB pendrive but after I've tried Simplicity (I did it when it came out, saw it on Distrowatch) I now use it instead of Puppy (on a more generous 4 GB pen drive). I think it's much more beautiful than Puppy, has the same functionality but a way more better interface. Also it's bug free so far and much better to recommend to non-Linux friends since Firefox is already there and they all love the Mac-like interface. Simplicity has that 'cool' factor and that seems to make the difference to people new to Linux. ![]() Also like I said it has all the functionality of any Puppy but with better software pre-installed. It did something that I thought it couldn't be done: replace Puppy. Hello to everyone, I started using Simplicity Linux 14.1 couple days ago, and must say one of the simplest distro I've been using. Everything works just fine (music, videos, internet). Samurai spirits rpg english psx games. But I have one huge problem, I can't install singe one additional program through PPM, nether I don't know how to do it manually. I'm founding apps on PPM, and install, I got confirmation message that I can find it on app list, but there isn't any.
