the pupweb

what is the "pupweb?"

for starters, there is a site at http://pupweb.org providing a convenient "one-stop" url for the biggest sites related to puppylinux.

if the term were to be borrowed from there, it could be applied to all puppylinux sites collectively. and why not?

assuming that has already taken place, the "pupweb" is the collective of all sites related to puppylinux. some have software, some have documentation, some have distros and patches, and some have other things, such as "pawedcasts" - which are soundfiles you can download and listen to, similar (similar enough) to the radio.

if you have a site with puppylinux content, even a single page, please do feel free to post it in a comment below. reviews of puppy are also welcome.

each section below will link to as many sites as possible, and ideally, most sections will have a page on this blog that goes into more detail about each one. for instance: "distros" will attempt to link to all pages that mirror puppy distros, but it would be nice to have a page that even links to images on those mirrors and/or describes the different ones available.

** it's worth noting that "distros" (plural) is being used here to describe multiple versions of puppy, and things based on puppy... some may be "distros" in their own right, and others only in a loose sense of the word, but if it's a version of puppy or based on puppy, or mirrors puppy iso's, it can be listed here.


ktwi: applies to all versions at different times

another documentation project? :(

**another** documentation project? not necessarily, more like another way to contribute to them.

this blog was setup as an idiot-friendly* :) means of contributing and organizing (and searching for) documentation for puppylinux (and derivatives...)

* in this case, the term "idiot" is used to mean: "someone that may not be stupid, but can't be bothered with the technical work of maintaining html, wikis, etc. - similar to the line of books."

all posts may be copied elsewhere, used in your own documentation, and so on. as a result, we must ask you not to post content unless it is your writing- or unless it is already public domain. the exception being url's (web links) to pages on the net, or posts on murga's puppy forum, that you would like to see documented here. you can link to anything, as a request that it be written about.

of course this is all volunteer work, and, we can't and will not be held responsible for what you do with your machine or anyone else's.

to add something, or suggest a change, simply use the comment feature. no special formatting is required, but any special formatting will be considered. don't be shy, either- please feel welcome to donate your posts to our cause, and thanks in advance.

lastly, credits go to the contributers of each post- we will do our utmost (which may prove imperfect) to thank everyone involved in each post, at the bottom of each post, and it is at least recommended that those using this resource do the same.

also, if posssible, consider the "KTWI" (known to work in) notes... if you know the version of puppy 1.07 / puppy 2.11 / grafpup 104 / muppy 006 etc, include it. many things here will work across many versions, but it's great to note what version you are writing about :)


thanks again, and HTH!
