Release Linux Puppy 5.1


Barry Kauler has announced the release of Puppy Linux 5.1 edition of the "Wary", a distribution of GNU / Linux is a small, fast and lightweight and designed for older hardware. "Warry Puppy 5.1 has been released. Wary Puppy Puppy Linux is a variant that targeted support for older hardware, especially video and analog dial-up modem. "

Kernel 2.6.32.28 is used for long-term support. PET package repository remains a small but growing, with many major applications added to it.

Wary Puppy into our ongoing commitment to older hardware. Puppies are built with the latest Linux kernel and X.org may not work properly on older computers. In particular, some analog dialup modem driver will not compile with recent kernels. Another main thing is the old video hardware does not work with the latest X.org driver. Puppies are built with many of the new kernel and X.org, but Wary of a kernel built with "old" and X.org 7.3 so that it can provide better drivers for older hardware. However, Wary is in all other respects in the leading-edge like other Puppies, with new applications, and support for all modern peripherals (printers, scanners, cameras, digital modems, etc.). Wary Woof is also built with the latest, so it has the same infrastructure as other new Puppy.

There is also a featured but somewhat different, there is just a purple background and there is a background image Debian. Grub is not the solution to appear at boot time before getting Grub press the SHIFT key then grub should be displayed. I install Cairo Dock on Ubuntu new version which can be the 12:04 session / desktop environment. Session Cairo Dock can login but only docknya are performed while the top panel does not exist. At the turn of the session is also a bit long even if another session to session switch Ubuntu / Unity sometimes do not perform well. And the latter is often a small error in the application with a display of apps for reporting bugs. Although still common bug but not really disrupt my work. Thanks to the Ubuntu developer who has divided his work is cool
