PuppEX Trixie64 (Puppy Linux) – compatible with Debian 13 – with Cinnamon as DE :: Build 250913

NEWS 250913 ABOUT PuppEX Trixie64 – BUILD 250913 – with Cinnamon DE

My new Puppy Linux derivative is built using the Trixie Build Script (mklive-trixie). It is compatible with Debian Trixie – Debian 13. It is for UEFI computers and non-UEFI computers. Build 250913 uses Cinnamon as Desktop environment (DE). “Compatible with Debian 13” 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 Trixie64. PuppEX Trixie64 can easily be installed manually (frugal install) to hard drive if you have at least one Linux system installed. You must also use Grub as boot loader.

About Cinnamon
The development of Cinnamon began by the Linux Mint team as the result of the April 2011 release of GNOME 3, in which the conventional desktop metaphor of GNOME 2 was discarded in favor of GNOME Shell. Following several attempts to extend GNOME 3 so that it would suit the Linux Mint design goals through “Mint GNOME Shell Extensions”, the Linux Mint team eventually forked several GNOME 3 components to build an independent desktop environment.

How to make a frugal installation – Instruction…

NOTE ABOUT SOUND

In PuppEX Trixie64 Build 250913 with Cinnamon you will NOT have sound when logged in as root.

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT PuppEX Trixie64 Cinnamon BUILD 250913
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 250913 though. When the boot process is ready you will end up at LightDM‘s Login Manager page. Log in as the ordinary user puppy with password puppex. You will then enter the  Cinnamon Desktop. You can also log in to Cinnamon as root with password root. While logged in as the ordinary user puppy you can of course use Sudo to become root. Example command: sudo pcmanfm.

REMASTER PuppEX Trixie64
Please note that you can build your own Puppy Trixie64 version using PuppEX Trixie64 Cinnamon as a “template”. Do it like this:
1) Make a frugal install of PuppEX Trixie64 – Instruction
2) Change everything to your liking
3) Start the remasterscript (QuickRemaster 1.7.1).

My new MeX Linux can run superfast from RAM – Build 151217

mex-logo-smallMeX 64 bit Linux based on Linux Ubuntu 15.10 with Cinnamon 2.6.13

NEWS/CHANGES 151217
Mex Linux is no longer based on Linux Mint. MeX build 151217 is based only on Debian 8.2 and Ubuntu 15.10. I have replaced the original kernel with “my” special kernel 4.3.0-4-exton. All packages in MeX Linux have been upgraded to the latest version by 151217.

MORE NEWS 151217
1. The MeX ISO is now a ISO-hybrid, which means that it can very easily be transferred (copied) to a USB pen drive.
2. Another big improvement is that MeX now can run from RAM. Use Boot alternative 2 (Copy to RAM). When the system has booted up you can eject the disc (DVD)/USB stick. You’ll need at least 2 GB RAM to run MeX that way. The ISO file is of only 748 MB so MeX will run superfast from RAM!

Why not Linux Mint?
Latest Linux Mint (17.3 Rosa) is based on Ubuntu 14.04. I simply think the system it’s too old, even though I’m aware of that some people think that Ubuntu 14.04 is “better” than Ubuntu 15.10.

Why not Cinnamon 2.8?
Cinnamon, developed by the Linux Mint team, can be installed in version 2.8 also in Ubuntu 15.10. I decided not to do it since version 2.8 not yet is included in Ubuntu’s repositories. I guess there is a reason for it.

Used KERNEL (4.3.2)
The best thing with kernel 4.3 is that it has better support for the open-source Nvidia driver Nouveau than any other older kernel.

What’s new in kernel 4.3?
