16
Oct
2024

NEWS ABOUT PuppEX Slack64 15.0 241018
This Puppy Linux derivative is built using Puppy Linux Woof-CE Builder. It is compatible with Slackware 15.0 and uses kernel 6.10.13-exton. This Puppy system works very well on UEFI and non-UEFI computers. You can build your own Puppy Linux Slackware 15 compatible system using PuppEX as “groundwork”. Just start the remaster tool (Remaster Puppy) and follow the instructions given by the remaster script. I’ve included devx_puppex-slack64.sfs in the ISO file. Load it if you need it. Study all installed packages in this PuppEX build.

A NEW VERSION of PuppEX Slack64 – 241018
This PuppEX Slack64 Build from 241018 runs very well on ALL “normal” computers. Build 241016 was missing a lot of firmware. Therefore X couldn’t be auto-configured on some computers.

SCREENSHOTS
1. First screen after boot
2. A Frugal install running from a USB stick
3. Puppy Linux info
4. Light Browser is outdated
5. Installing Firefox
6. Installing VirtualBox Guest Additions
7. Running in full screen in VirtualBox
8. Running the lspci command

PuppEX (Puppy Linux) Noble64 – compatible with Ubuntu 24.04 – with Mate as DE :: Build 241007

07
Oct
2024

NEWS ABOUT PuppEX Noble64 Mate 24.04 241007
This Puppy derivative is made by me. It is built from Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat) packages and packages built from woof-CE Recipes. I’ve also compiled a brand new kernel – 6.10.13-exton. This is special about this new PuppEX version:
1. I’ve replaced the original Puppy Linux Desktop with Mate (The MATE Desktop Environment is the continuation of GNOME 2. It provides an intuitive and attractive desktop environment using traditional metaphors for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems), which I find more useful.
2. I’ve added some essential packages. Among them Samba so you can connect to your Windows computers in your home Network. Study all installed packages…
The ISO size is therefore rather BIG (2030 MB), but PuppEX runs nevertheless as fast as the original Puppy, which means that it runs very very fast! Puppy Linux/PuppEX runs from RAM. You’ll need at least 4GB RAM to run this PuppEX version.
3. I’ve installed VirtualBox Guest Additions, which means that you can run this PuppEX version in full screen in VirtualBox. Watch this screenshot…
4. I’ve included devx_puppex-noble64.sfs in the ISO file. Load it if you need it.
NOTE: When the boot process is ready you will automatically be logged in as root to the Mate Desktop. The password for root is root (if you for some reason should need it). When logged in to the Mate DE you must wait a few seconds before the Desktop and the apps are fully loaded.

COMPATIBLE WITH Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
PuppEX Noble64 Mate is compatible with Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat), which means that Ubuntu packages for Ubuntu 24.04 can be installed and used in PuppEX. You can use the Synaptic Package Manager or the apt command. (apt update, apt upgrade, apt install MyUsefulPackage etc).
IMPORTANT NOTE: The normal remasterpup2 script (which is included in all Puppy Linux versions) doesn’t work in PuppEX Noble64. The remasterpup2 script works very well in PuppEX Bookworm64 though. It works very well in PuppEX Slack64 15.0 too.
NOTE: PuppEX Noble64 Mate uses the original Ubuntu 24.04 repositories. Ubuntu 24.04 will be supported until April 2029…

Install PuppEX Noble64 Mate to hard drive
That is best done in the same way (frugal) as regards PuppEX Jammy64. Read about how to do that at the INFO site.

SCREENSHOTS
1. Running in full screen in VirtualBox
2. Using WiFi
3. Running a video in MPV
4. Loading the devx file
5. Using Samba

PuppEX (Puppy Linux) Noble64 – compatible with Ubuntu 24.04 – with LXDE as DE :: Build 241002

02
Oct
2024

NEWS ABOUT PuppEX Noble64 24.04 241002
This Puppy derivative is a simple remaster of Noblepup64 24.08, which was released 240906 by “peebee”. It is built from Ubuntu 24.04 packages and packages built from woof-CE Recipes. Noblepup64 is one of the the best Puppy Linux systems I’ve ever tried so I decided to make it even better. My small changes of the original system:
1. I’ve replaced the original Puppy Linux Desktop with LXDE (DE for All), which I find more useful.
2. I’ve added some essential packages. Among them Samba so you can connect to your Windows computers in your home Network. Study all installed packages…
The ISO size has therefore increased from 990 MB to 1020 MB, but PuppEX runs nevertheless as fast as the original Puppy, which means that it runs very very fast! (Puppy Linux/PuppEX runs from RAM).
3. I’ve installed VirtualBox Guest Additions, which means that you can run this PuppEX version in full screen in VirtualBox. Watch this screenshot…
4. Some cosmetic changes. I.e. new wallpapers and icons.

COMPATIBLE WITH Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Noblepup64.24.08/PuppEX Noble64 is compatible with Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat), which means that Ubuntu packages for Ubuntu 24.04 can be installed and used in PuppEX. You can use the Synaptic Package Manager or the apt command. (apt update, apt upgrade, apt install MyUsefulPackage etc).
IMPORTANT NOTE: The normal remasterpup2 script (which is included in all Puppy Linux versions) doesn’t work in Noblepup64 24.08. I had to use my “special remaster tricks” to be able to build PuppEX Noble64. The remasterpup2 script works very well in PuppEX Bookworm64 though. It works very well in PuppEX Slack64 15.0 too.
NOTE: Noblepup64.24.08/PuppEX Noble64 uses the original Ubuntu 24.04 repositories. Ubuntu 24.04 will be supported until April 2029…

SCREENSHOTS
1. Running in full screen in VirtualBox
2. Showing a WiFi connection
3. The normal Desktop for root
4. Showing the SAVE option

PuppEX (Puppy Linux) Bookworm64 with Xfce4 as DE :: Build 240928

28
Sep
2024

NEWS ABOUT PuppEX Bookworm64 Build 240928
My new Puppy Linux derivative (made just for fun) is built using the Bookworm Build Script. The latest script from 240924. The system is compatible with Debian Bookworm – Debian 12. This version of PuppEX uses Xfce4 as Desktop environment (DE). It is for UEFI computers and non-UEFI computers. This PuppEX version runs very well in VirtualBox/VMware. You can run it in full screen in VirtualBox, since VirtualBox Guest Additions are pre-installed. You can also drop files from PuppEX running in VirtualBox to (for example) your Windows 11 Desktop.

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT PuppEX Bookworm64 Xfce4 BUILD 240928
Normally you run all Puppy Linux versions as root. I.e. you will automatically be logged in as root to the desktop. Not as regards Build 240928 though. When the boot process is ready you will end up at SLiM Login Manager site. Log in as the ordinary user puppy with password puppex. Watch this screenshot. You will then enter the Xfce4 Desktop. You can’t log in to Xfce4 as root. While logged in as puppy you can of course use Sudo to become root. Example commands: sudo su and sudo pcmanfm.

Debian 12
Compatible with Debian 12 means that you can use the apt command. (apt update, apt upgrade, apt install MyUsefulPackage etc) and Synaptic for installing thousands of new Debian packages in PuppEX. All three PuppEX Bookworm64 versions can easily be installed manually to hard drive if you have at least one Linux system installed. You must also use Grub as boot loader. Read more about how to do that at the INFO site.

SCREENSHOTS
1. Connection to a wireless network
2. puppy’s Desktop – Xfce4

A new updated version of CruxEX 3.7 (CRUX 3.7) with LXDE, Refracta Snapshot, Refracta Installer and kernel 6.11.0-rc5-amd64-exton :: Build 240910

11
Sep
2024

CruxEX 2024/2022 64 bit Linux Live CD/USB is based on CRUX 3.7 (latest version, released 220926), which is all Linux enthusiasts/nerds favorite OS. (CRUX is a lightweight Linux distribution for the x86_64 architecture targeted at experienced Linux users. The primary focus of this distribution is keep it simple, which is reflected in a straightforward tar.gz-based package system, BSD-style initscripts, and a relatively small collection of trimmed packages. The secondary focus is utilization of new Linux features and recent tools and libraries. CRUX also has a ports system which makes it easy to install and upgrade applications). CruxEX 3.7 2024/2022 uses the LXDE Desktop environment. I have replaced the original CRUX kernel 5.15 with “my” special kernel 6.11.0-rc5-amd64-exton/6.6.1-amd64-exton respectively 6.0.6-aufs-exton, with support for “extra everything”.

NEWS ABOUT CruxEX BUILD 240910
I’ve made a new extra version of CruxEX which I call CruxEX Linux Live System. It replaces version 231208. This CruxEX version is distributed as a “normal” ISO file. (Build 221031 is distributed as a Zip file only to be installed on a USB stick). I have kept CruxEX Build 221031 on SourceForge’s server because that version can run from a USB stick with PERSISTENCE. I.e. all system changes will be saved directly on the USB stick. In CruxEX Build 240910 I have managed to install Refracta Snapshot and Refracta Installer. With Refracta Snapshot you can very easy create you own CRUX Live Installable System. I mean change everything to your liking and then create a new ISO. That can be done after a hard drive installation using Refracta Installer. If you have plenty of RAM you can even create a new ISO while running CruxEX live! In that case you may have to change the place where the new ISO will be saved. Just edit /etc/refractasnapshot.conf. Watch this screenshot. Change home to (for example) /mnt/sdd2 (which has to be a Linux partition). You’ll have to mount /dev/sdd2 before starting Refracta Snapshot from the menu. Command: mount /dev/sdd2 /mnt/sdd2.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Kernel 6.11.0-rc5-amd64-exton will be used after a hard drive installation of CruxEX Build 240910. If you want to build your own CruxEX version/system you’ll have to use kernel 6.6.1-amd64-exton while running Refracta Snapshot.

Unique
CruxEX 3.7 2024/2022 Build 240910/221031 is – as my previous CRUX-remasters – unique in the world. I.e. there is no other CRUX Live CD/USB (as far as I know). In any case, not for downloading. The good thing with CruxEX is that it is a live system (which CRUX original isn’t) and that you can run CruxEX super fast from RAM. Also that you can install CruxEX to hard drive in about 5 minutes and then have a ready-to-go CRUX desktop system. You can after that install any (extra) desktop environment you like. NOTE: You can (of course) install new Desktops environments and other stuff also when running CruxEX from a USB stick – PERSISTENCE! (Only as regards Build 221031). Note also: To make CRUX original ready for everyday use will normally take 2 – 3 days!

RUNS FROM RAM
Run both versions super fast from RAM! The best way to run a Linux Live System!

Study ALL INSTALLED packages in CruxEX 3.7
1) Build 240910
2) Build 221031

Study ALL UPDATED packages in Build 240910…

SCREENSHOTS
1. The LXDE Desktop for the live user in Build 240910

2. The LXDE Desktop for root in Build 240910 (UEFI disabled? No it is enabled by me)

3. A Wireless connection in Build 240910

ExTiX Deepin 24.8 Live based on Deepin 23 STABLE (latest) with Refracta Snapshot and kernel 6.10.3-amd64-exton :: Build 240816

17
Aug
2024

NEWS 240816 ABOUT ExTiX with Deepin 23 STABLE (released 240815)
I’ve released a new version of ExTiX Deepin today (240816). The previous ExTiX Deepin version with Deepin 23 RC is from 240607. This ExTiX Build is based on Deepin 23 STABLE (latest version) released by Deepin Technology on August 15, 2024. Please read the Release Notes. ExTiX 24.8 uses kernel 6.10.3-amd64-exton. ExTiX 24.8 works in the same way as all other ExTiX versions. I.e. you can install it to hard drive while running the system live. Use Refracta Installer or Deepin Installer for that. You can also create your own live installable Deepin 23 system with Refracta Snapshot. (Using ExTiX 24.8 as a “base system/template”). So easy that a ten year old child can do it!

Study all installed packages in ExTiX Deepin 24.8.

NEW FUNCTIONS etc. in ExTiX 24.8 Deepin
1. VirtualBox Guest Additions are NOT pre-installed. No real need for them since you can run ExTiX in full screen in VirtualBox by just changing the screen resolution. Watch this screenshot…
2. You can run ExTiX from RAM. Use boot alternative 2 (load to RAM) or Advanced. A wonderful way to run Linux if you have enough RAM. Everything will be super fast. When ExTiX has booted up you can remove the DVD or USB stick.
3. You can use Deepin Installer as an alternative to Refracta Installer. Use Deepin Installer preferable on UEFI computers if you want/need to install or reinstall Grub.
4. I have installed Google Chrome 127.0.6533.119-1 as a replacement for Deepin’s Browser, which suddenly can be in Chinese(!?).
5. I’ve added Synaptic Package Manager. A must I think. Watch a screenshot when Synaptic is running.
6. You can watch Netflix while running Google Chrome.
7. You can install ExTiX Deepin also in VirtualBox/VMware using Refracta Installer or Deepin Installer. Use Deepin Installer preferably on UEFI computers if you need to install or reinstall Grub. Before doing that you should read my instruction How-to dual-boot, triple-boot or multi-boot Linux with Windows in a simple way and be happy…

UNIQUE
I may add that there is no other “good” LIVE version in English of Deepin 23 STABLE.

SCREENSHOTS
1. ExTiX 24.8 running in VirtualBox after changing the screen resolution
2. ExTiX 24.8 running Refracta Installer
3. ExTiX 24.8 showing the first screen after boot (choose language)
4. ExTiX 24.8 showing a Samba connection
5. ExTiX 24.8 running in VMware
6. ExTiX 24.8 showing the Desktop for user

Run latest Slackware 64 bit live and create your own live installable Slackware system with Refracta Snapshot! :: Two Builds 240812/231210

12
Aug
2024

NEWS ABOUT SlackEX BUILD 240812 with the Xfce4 DESKTOP (DE)
A new version of SlackEX is ready. It is based on Slackware 15.0 STABLE released 220202 with Xfce4 as DE. The most important package installed is Refracta Snapshot. With that you can build your own Slackware 15.0 distribution. Xfce4 is one of Slackware’s official Desktop environments. The other one is KDE. Kernel 6.10.3-amd64-exton is used in this SlackEX Build. To be able to use Refracta Snapshot you’ll have to use said kernel. Otherwise you can (of course) replace “my” kernel with Slackware’s original kernel – see about that below. Study the new package LIST. While running SlackEX Xfce4 in VirtualBox you can do so in full screen since VirtualBox Guest Additions are pre-installed. Watch this screenshot.
NOTE1: You’ll run SlackEX Build 240812 as the normal user user or as root. The password for root is root. The password for user is live.
NOTE2: You can run SlackEX Build 240812 on UEFI and non-Uefi computers. You can also run SlackEX live super fast from RAM.

Create your own live installable Slackware System
For that you shall use Refracta Snapshot, which is pre-installed by me. Just run the program and follow the instructions. Before you start the program you should edit /etc/refractasnapshot.conf and decide/change where you want your new iso to be saved. For example in /home/snapshot. The whole remaster procedure is so simple that a ten year old child can do it!

SCREENSHOTS
1. The Desktop for the ordinary user user
2. The Desktop for root
3. Showing how to chroot and install Grub while using Refracta Installer
NOTE: In /root there is an instruction called README-chroot.txt. Just copy and paste the commands from there.
