Puppy Stuff

Yeah, I was going to title this one "Doggie Style", but decided I'm really not that...well...  you know...

The PhatSlacko experience continues.  I did the basic "you aren't paying attention" run with it last night on the T400.  The desktop icons for 'Write' and 'Calc' didn't seem to work, and I had a very odd incident with the 'File' system.  (It locked up and kept opening file windows every time I clicked anywhere on the screen.)  I wasn't particularly happy, so ended the session without saving to the SAVE file.

This morning, head screwed on more properly, I booted PS up on the X60s here (my mellow machine), and actually looked at the setup systems.  And discovered that I don't have to right click on the icons to make changes, etc.  There's this nice system setup app that does all that for you.  And, as I'd begun to expect, the desktop icons were still keyed to AbiWord and GNumeric as defaults.  So I reset them to LibreWrite and -Calc, and all is well.  If I would just pay attention more...

I was rather impressed that, even though I didn't save anything from last night, the clock came up set right.  Very nice.

So, back on track with the Puppy Stuff.  I truly like the Puppy OSes I've been able to use so far.  No real problems, just the occasional quirks.  And I tend to be more responsible for most of those anyway, so...

Unfortunately, I'm not going to have a lot of computer time today.  Too much to do.  Gotta run...

Hope the weekend is going well for all!
