Thus, the entire 0.8.* range is uClibc-based, and all Puppy versions up to 0.7.9 are Redhat-8.0-based."

The community is dead, most having moved on to other distros. It truly is a shame as I used DL for quite awhile and it was my first indroduction to 3D effects with the MMGL version.SB74noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-65159760098086112042011-09-06T22:49:07.213+01:002011-09-06T22:49:07.213+01:00I have run dreamlinux live cd and installed it.

Perhaps the anonymous poster above got a copy of someone's 'spin' on dreamlinux.

And, most despicably, they don't inform you of this anywhere on their website before you download the iso. Skip this Dream; it's a nightmare not worthy of anyone's time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
