• Scared by SuSE Amazed by Puppy - [Dust | Hysteria]

    2009-01-24

    The first Linux I used was SuSE 10 enterprises version which came along with my pinky netbook MSI U100 wind at the beginning. Normally I considered Linux a small but powerful system interface while that SuSE linux really frightened me with her likely to be 6 or more gigabytes in size, and it was even larger than my modified Vista.

    That linux finally dragged me away back to the not so good nor too bad windos XP and everything works fine, the annoying windows wasted service and her being unable to "calm down" the in-build fan keeps me thinking of a new try at others.

    There is also the other horribly old laptop with my favorable brand, the Fujitsu lifebook, with her 128 megabytes ram and processor older than Pentium 3, I only let her be in my drawer in case all of my other laptops broke down at the same time. This unbelievably lagging laptop run in a minimized windows XP system. Think of that, my first laptop, also a Taiwanese manufacturing product, with a RAM no more than 128 mb, never truly runned through the XP. I still remember the days I got so used to that win98 system and unfortunately received two likely-DOS-based-attack-bomb who blew up the harddisk twice in 2 years, thank god all that happened during the warranty period, and I didn't need to pay for two portable haddisks which was kind of expensive also during that time. But this was 6 years ago and I couldn't help thinking of Linux since it first arrival with that "bombed-twice" super heavy laptop and I never managed to install it into the PC as my CD-Rom driver went roughly with that Linux Installation CD-Rom.

    Back to the monsterly slow Fujitsu, though it works just fine under XP, even documentary in Office was a disaster. I tried EverNote once and it never reached my satisfiction of processing speed. Something called MemPad was just fine in that case, but it does not support any font editorial or paragraphing, it is compiled txt simply.

    I saw the Velvet or Velket something who runs basically on Linux of a tiny size free version called Puppy. Its name is sisy while amazingly it works great. Now I am writing blog with firefox under this Localized Puppy but not able to input Chinese as it seems no way to figure out that weird input method.

    This puppy looks much better than my couln't be more plain XP. Visualization is important anyway.

    Good for my Fujitsu who can get a ressurection by the Puppy Linux.
