Goosed my 8year old tank of a laptop with a new (to it) proc

John Rudd:
Sounds like you've been having a ball.... :lol:

Funny how 'words' have a different meaning across the globe....

When I first read the title  "goosed my 8 yr old......"

I thought you had broken it while changing the cpu....

But all's well..., :clap:

Cheers Steve, I didn't realise Puppy ran like that - I'll do a bit of research & maybe give it a go on the EEEPC

Haha John, always willing to learn English, so thanks for the word addition for me!  :beer:

pycoed, I know there's a youtube video on running Precise Puppy on an eeepc, but kind of dated.

You might try to see if Bionicpup32 runs on it (assuming you have a 32 bit proc, otherwise try Bionicpup 64).

Or if that doesn't, try Tahrpup.

If your computer doesn't have more than 4 gigs of memory, you don't need PAE on a 32 bit machine, so choose the "No-PAE" versions if there's a choice.

Puppy is a whole different world from Ubuntu/Mint, so there's a lot to learn. Don't get discouraged, and you'll soon grow to like it. Also, don't be shocked by running as root! If you're not running an OS multi-user, you generally don't need to protect your system from yourself. There's no sudo in Puppy. That's the philosophy -- as was that of Win 98, which Puppy can superficially resemble!
