Racy Puppy

Kinda cool for potluck. Mounted this* on a USB stick (8G)...
racy-5.5.iso, (via RUFUS), and hardly is taking up anything.

Which means, I'll need, probably, another Boot Arbitrator in case I
run out of USB Operating Systems on FlashSticks. How is GRUB
pronounced, anyway...

Everything set to get up & go go - GPartEd, wow, SeaMonkey double
wowplus already network enabled/detected: I am, therefore, the
Connected One.

Pretty slick stuff, really, these days for USB utilization - something
useful to do with those flash $5 pop-up sales on USB sticks, virtually
everywhere. Yeppers. Downright impressive for no-brainers.

Simplicity (Puppy based, hmmm - "Simplicity Linux 14.7 is now
available for everyone to download for free. Obsidian is our cut-down
edition, pretty much just Firefox 30, a network manager and not a lot
else. Netbook is our lightweight edition of Simplicity Linux; it has a
few local applications, but most of the hard work is done by
Cloud-based applications. Desktop is our heavyweight release; it
features LibreOffice, Skype, Dropbox and a lot of other software. If
you're used to using Windows but it annoys you, Subdivision is
designed for you; it comes with LibreOffice, Firefox, Java, Flash, and
a Minecraft installer, so you can begin playing familiar games on
Linux straight out the box.")

Well, sheeat -- apart what must be as obvious as the nose on your
face..."so you can begin playing familiar games on Linux" -- appears
Puppy is subdivided into three more "flavors." Skype, say, looks an
interesting subjugation for a nominal "This OS is no longer supported"
connection, optional as ring-chime now-a-days in a church meeting. I'm
sure. Though sure beats all get-out, loading Puppy/SimplicityXXX up
on a flashstick, rather than W7 on it's own dedicated GRUB SSD, for a
theoretical implication.

So, whom else is there for a WINE embedded Distro typie-thingy, doing
at least native code-writing in vast archives of Winders 32-bit
applications, all off the convenience of a lil'oll flashstick
environment. . .now that would be devestating, in as much to say at
least I think it's entirely, emminently possible, given hard
technological resources and knowledgability present for deploying over
sweepingly talented and useful, benevolent application bases. That is
no less than if nevermind to ask for [it], as case studies do show how
monopolistic practises tend to add weight in curtailing pure research
advances decades if not by more.

* Racy Puppy is "Wary on steriods" for those who have current
hardware. It features the 3.0.7 kernel and X.org 7.6. Racy boots
straight into X on first boot and launches its Quick Setup facility.
(In contrast, Wary Puppy runs text-mode configuration dialogs and the
Xorg Wizard before starting X.) Racy is a tad smaller ISO than Wary
because it strips out dial-up modem support. Racy and Wary share a
common package repository, so current apps are common to both systems.

Apparently, there's more.

Debian Tails...

that Tails was an important tool they used in their work with Edward
Snowden." -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tails_%28operating_system%29

Anyway, Tails works off a flashstick, which is the amazing part. All
those flashsticks or one big one (64/128G) with a boot arbitrator.
Move the CPU into the router with some sort of touchscreen for a
terminal port and, seriously, the tablet as we know it might be
reinvented for standard hotel room accessorization. Plug in once and
you're good to go.

Semi-amazing, or less than so.

Apparently, the NSA is watching Tails, having labeled it by precedent
(The Official NSA Kangaroo Court) for due processing: Individuals
that attempt congress at Tails' site are deemed suspicious and will be
identified and categorized so, with known terrorist affiliations.

Gee.

That, personally, leads me to believe their may be further congress
with RUFUS (a standardized ISO loader in flashstick-ese). When I went
to the Tails site to look to what I could see and made up my mind it
was worthy a download;- however, upon running RUFUS to look to what
could I see about Tails, RUFUS wanted out from behind my firewall, to
go and get some "more stuff to update" Tails even further.

Gee.

I didn't do it. Might get caught in some Mad Russian's Mafia/Warlord
dragnet;- even worse, be added and identified for a ring of cartel
spam operators collectively operating all around Silicon Valley,
California.

So. What else is new and exciting about now-a-days?
