Stub - heavy development of this page to come
What are the proposed Puppi spec?
- Run in the 256MB ram of the Raspberry Pi at Puppy speed
- JWM - Joe's Window Manager and/or choice of window managers as appets (pets for ARM)
- Rox File Manager (incidentally Rox was developed first on the ARM processor)
- Recognizable Puppy scripts
- Puppy mainstream programs
Geany, Midori, Leafpad, Mtpaint, Xchat, Mhwaveedit, Transmission
- Puppi Control Panel
- Puppi Soft Phone
- Puppi GROWL Security
- MoManager - create non-english Puppi
- Styling options from Saluki
- Puppi Cloud support, Meebo, Gmail, Yahoo, IRC etc as available in Slacko
Spec are likely to change during development
Puppi, Raspberry Pi and PARM
Puppi is part of a long term strategy to make Puppy available on next generation ARM tablets and future smart phones and other devices.
So for example the use of things such as touch screens, voice control and making use of Android or other plug in apps is eventually possible.
First however we have to work to a common goal and working for well documented, specific hardware - cheap enough for everyone to splash out. This has evolved into the Raspberry Pi commitment.
In 2013 we will be able to work to a common ready made Android/Smartphone tablet hardware device with worldwide availability.
At that time we can ask people to make a hardware commitment
Raspberry Pi plan
We are not going for the best board
We are going for the cheapest, most widely available,
well documented and built to high engineering standards.
You will very quickly be aware of deficiencies in the recommended
Debian and Arch compiles - Yes they work . . . sort of.
Fortunately smart penguins are involved with Arch, Debian, kernel, individual programs and other upcoming efforts. Yeah! :)
For those testing, teaching, compiling, creating projects we want Puppy to offer the best base.
The Core Experience
- Small, fast, easy to use. Just works.
- Familiar to Puppy's using x86 computers
The Support
