[sf-lug] Meeting of Monday, 17 March 2014 - some details

[Bobbie Sellers]

Hi LUGgers,
     I wanted people to know I will have two new sets of cds and DVDs.
The CDs contain Puppy-Slacko 5.4.0 in PAE and No PAE versions.
The DVDs contain Kubuntu 13.10 in i386 and AMD_64 versions.

     Most know about Kubuntu but Slacko is something completely different.
Here is the scoop from Linux Distro Watch site:
  [Puppy Linux]     Puppy Linux 5.7 "Slacko" edition, a small and fast 
distribution built from and compatible with Slackware's binary packages, 
has been released as the "flagship" Puppy release. From the release 
announcement: "Slacko Puppy is built from a 'Puppy builder' system named 
Woof, which can build a Puppy Linux distribution from the binary 
packages of any other distro. There are many 'puppies' built with Woof, 
including Precise, Wary, Racy, and Slacko. A new release of Slacko Puppy 
Linux is out! Slacko Puppy is built from Slackware-14.0 binary TXZ 
packages, hence has binary compatibility with Slackware and access to 
the Slackware, Salix and Slacky package repositories. More comprehensive 
release notes and documentation of known issues are available. Slacko 
5.7 is the first Puppy built from the woof-CE build system, forked from 
Barry Kauler's Woof late last year after he announced his retirement 
from Puppy development. It is the natural progression of Slacko 5.6 with 
the added features introduced to woof-CE." More links for readers to 
follow can be found on Barry Kauler's blog. Download: 
slacko-5.7-NO-pae.iso (161MB, MD5), slacko-5.7.0-PAE.iso (162MB, MD5).
     If you cannot wait until Monday then you can go to:
<http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=puppy>
and download the small distributions but don't forget to do the
MD5sum on the iso files.

     Also I have discovered a reason to run Ubuntu which is Krita which
is a digital painting application.  Sounds pretty good but so far is only
supplied in Ubuntu's PPA format archive.

     Hope to see a few of you all there.

     Bobbie Sellers
