Pupeee 4.2 Optimalkan Puppy 4.2 Untuk Eee-PC
Minggu, 19 April 2009 02:04
Ciri khas Puppy Linux adalah kecil, mudah digunakan dan cepat. Puppy 4.2 'Deep Thought' mengemas windowmanager JVW atau IceWM yang ringan dan aplikasi utama browser Seamonkey yang telah dioptimalkan. Pupeee 4.2 baru saja dirilis menggunakan Puppy 4.2 sebagai basis dan khusus untuk diadopsi di Eee-PC.

Agar lebih yakin, pengembangnya menulis: "This Eee PC optimized Netbook distro is based on Puppy Linux. Puppy Linux (and the Puppeee distro) was written from scratch with 2 goals in mind: speed & ease of use."



Agar langsung jalan mulus di hardware Netbook Eee-PC, sejumlah drivers telah ditanamkan di Pupeee 4.2 yaitu:
  • Madwifi
  • Intel-hda sound patch
  • Hotkeys-patch
  • Eeepc acpi

Known bugs:
  • Eee PC 1000ha WiFi uses diffrent drivers madwifi does not see it correctly.
  • Puppy network manager is the only app that works with wifi, does not always find your network but it will after a few attempts. this seems to only happen if theirs multi wifi connections available.
  • Wpa long keys said to not work.  

Reviews:
  • Blogger WegianWarrior's ramblings yang telah mencobanya telah mempublikasikan pengalamannya menggunakan Pupeee menulis antara lain: "Out of the box it's configured with two docks for icons (top and left of the screen) and a sidebar with widgets (on the right). While I havn't been fooling around with the docks just yet, I've made the sidebar display CPU activity, RAM, free space for running Pupeee, battery and WiFi status. From a fresh boot it also displays multiple icons on the desktop - I might move some to one of the docks to tidy up a bit."
  • Situs Linux.com meliput Pupee Linux dan menulis "Despite its tiny size, Puppeee packs an impressive array of applications that cover pretty much all your needs. Like Puppy Linux, Puppeee comes with the Seamonkey Internet suite, AbiWord word processor, mtPaint image editor, and other lightweight alternatives to mainstream Open Source desktop applications. Puppeee also throws a few Eee PC-related applications and utilities in the default mix, including the Batmon battery monitor, the gtkpod music device manager, the XMMS player, the GQview image viewer, the Skype VoIP application, and even the Handbrake DVD ripper. Puppeee also comes with the Puppy Control Panel, which allows you to tweak Pupeee's appearance, set up a Firewall, configure network settings, and enable an FTP server."
  • Liliputing.com mencoba Pupee 4.2 dan memaparkan dalam review-nya: "Puppy Linux is a small and fast Linux distribution designed to be run from a USB flash drive. Pupeee Linux is all that, but it’s also optimized for Asus Eee PC netbooks. That means it features support for the screen resolution, WiFi card, speakers, and most other hardware right out of the box. You can even use the Eee PC Fn keys to adjust the screen brightness and volume.
    I took Pupeee 4.2 for a spin on an Eee PC 1000H and it was able to boot from a flash drive in about 45 seconds. Once loaded, programs launch quickly and the operating system feels very responsive.
