Browsing and photo-editing in Puppy
The SeaMonkey browser is a Mozilla derivative, just
like Firefox, but in this case leaner and ... you know
... meaner.
But back to Puppy. I was pleased to find mtPaint, an
image editor that both sizes photos and puts borders
on them. So I'm definitely good.
The great thing about Linux on a CD or USB drive, is
that if you can boot off of them, you can take the
Linux you know with you and work anywhere with a
familiar set of apps and, if the PC cooperates, a
place to store your data (either on a USB drive or the
open CD itself). It can really change the way you view
computing.
But while it's assumed that PCs can boot off of USB drives, this Dell Optiplex GX520 won't do it. I don't think Macs can boot off of USB (they do boot from Firewire). Does anybody have PCs that boot from USB? One workaround is a boot floppy. I think both Puppy and Damn Small Linux offer images for boot floppies. But by the time you have a boot floppy and a USB drive, isn't it just easier to carry a CD instead of a floppy? Just asking.
