Damn Small Linux / User Feedback / DSL-Not => DSL-Not(ebook) Mini-Dvd size!

A precise general update is necessary. Otherwise "it" can be called DOL: Damn Old Linux!
Kernel 3.4.21 (minumum),
AbiWord
alsa-lib, libasound
ATK 2.6, libffi
bash, ncurses, ncurses-common, bash-locale
bzip
Cairo
cups
dbus, dbus-glib
Dillo+
emelfm2, liblzma, libxcb, libxml2, emelfm2-locale
expat, expat2
fontconfig
Gdk-Pixbuf 2.26
graphics-libs
GTK+ 3.6
GLib 2.34
graphics-libs-1
lxde-common, lxde-icon-theme, lxmenu-data, lxpanel, lxsession-lite, libglade, libidn, libstartup-notification, urxvt
openssl 1.0.1c
Opera, opera-locale
openbox
Pango 1.32
Python, pycairo, pygtk-2.x, pyobject,
shared-mime-info
ttf-bitstream-vera, Ecofont
wicd, dbus-python, dhcpcd, gobject-introspection, libiw, libnl1, ncurses-util, net-tools
Wine
Wireshark, tshark
xmms 1.2.11
Xlibs
Xorg-7.x-lib
xz
I like "standard" mini-Dvd Rw, size 8 cm diameter (or 3 inch), depending on variant, these Mini-discs can offer from 1.4 GB up to 5.2 GB of storage space.
This written, instead of focusing in Mb limit, Mini-DVD is a Gb "mini-plate", I suggest to open mind:
call for a "list of requests" poll.

 Lxde.orgLxde is especially designed for computers with low hardware specifications, such as older computers, netbooks or mobile devices. LXDE is modular, each component can be used independently with few dependencies. (Es. PCManFM: based on libfm - see http://blog.lxde.org/?cat=28/) |

Damn Small Linux / DSL Ideas and Suggestions / Mesa: a 3D graphics library
|
on: November 04, 2012, 07:07:20 PM

Implementation of updated Open GL
Seems that the version inside Dsl is Mesa 4.3.0 so implements the OpenGL 1.3 API
coming from far past 2001.
In myDsl we can found a Mesa 6.5.2 from May 2007, so OpenGL 1.5 API
http://distro.ibiblio.org/damnsmall/mydsl/testing/
Today (end 2012) Version 9.x of Mesa implements the OpenGL 3.1 API

Damn Small Linux / Release Candidates / Re: New Release Candidate: 4.11rc2

. Jwmrc home/dsl Tools sub menu need "attention" yellow folder have an unnecessary [-exec] this seem better: <Program icon="files-yellow.xpm" label="Add to Bootlocal"> Years ago, I have had "fount" a simple idea (from "real world" office): for different task use different folder color, this will help in "no-waste time". [example:... <Menu icon="folder_cyan.xpm" label=" Editor"> ... <Menu icon="folder_blue.xpm" label=" Office"> ... <Menu icon="audio.xpm" label="Audio"> ... <Menu icon="folder_grape.xpm" label=" Net"> ... <Menu icon="folder_green.xpm" label=" Games"> ] For test, after "saved changes" go to "right click", Desktop, Menu, No Icons;
"right click", Desktop, Menu, With Icons, "et voilà"!----- Want a smiling days? Made Dsl better and share it! -------- |
