riv123 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 pop quiz: how can you use Smart Bro Pre paid with linux? Magic Jack? thanks gurus! Theoretical: Get device driver for the SmartBro USB then use the connection services of *nix. HTH. CHEERS!!! Quote Link to comment
itikbitik Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 i'm sure Magic Jack drivers is not yet public and is still being cracked by developers. With that premise a work around can be done. Linux, VirtualBox and XP. Quote Link to comment

brutus Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) just finished testing three Puppy Linux variants Original Release http://www.puppylinux.org MACpup http://macpup.org/ and Browserlinux http://browserlinux.com/ first time for me to test all three variants on a Jurassic Machine PIII 1 Ghz256MB SDRAM40GB HD32MB Nvidia Video Card VERDICT!!! all three variants flew on the machine startup time including bios check and grub loading maxed out at 30seconds shutdown time at a speedy 15seconds as soon as the desktop loads, you can start doing your thing no more hour glass, hanged start button didn't like the desktop appearance and the task bar of the original release so I tried MacPup same speed but with more eyecandy appearance settled with browserlinux 'coz the main function of the Jurassic Machine was for web browsing and online flash games (it has firefox 3.5, while the original release has Seamonkey and Firefox 2, MacPup has opera 9) and my niece and nephew were impressed (hogged the PC whole day yesterday and they were only able to use it this morning) fast boot up time and faster loading page (we have a MyDSL connection which seems to crawl when we were still using Windoze XP) btw, loaded my Grub on a Floppy Disk, took me an hour to figure out how to load if there (slow learner, hehehehehehe) partitioned my HD so that I can install tinyXP, we are keeping windoze for Office and printing purposes browserlinux doesn't support actual printing (it only prints to pdf) 90% of the time, they will be on the net anyway if you have a netbook, best option for you will be xPup a bloated version of the distro with all the good things from linux installed with the speed of Puppy Linux and the look of OSX Edited August 2, 2009 by brutus Quote Link to comment
leviticus Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 grabe.. I've been trying out puppy for a few days now, retro puppy 4.2 ang install ko on a more jurassic unit than brutus: P3-733 with 128 memory, 10 gb of hard disk real-estate. default ay kde-like desktop. bilib ako sa abiword documents and spreadsheets because it takes maybe 1-3 seconds to load! d@mn fast.. medyo basa basa sa pag-install on a hard disk since this distro was designed to load on a USB stick or cd drive. took me a day to learn kakabasa sa mga forums later on gonna test this on office applications. d@mn.. nabuhay ang lumang luma na unit with very minimum specs. kahit windows 2000 ang ilagay ko sa cpu na eto ay hindi ganito kabilis magload ang mga applications. sa monitor lang ang limitation ko, jurassic kasi ng sobra ang gamit ko: vga-capable lang and hindi svga :upside: was really intending to find out the bare minimum system requirement. mamaya gonna take out one of the memory sticks and see how it runs on 64 mb of memory Quote Link to comment
itikbitik Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I installed it in my virtual box in a windows system. Bilis nga. At least I have ssh server without installing cygwin. Quote Link to comment

leviticus Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 followup lang sa puppy, now on my second week. my uncle saw me configuring puppy on the jurassic unit (oo nga pala, took out the other memory stick and it ran beautifully on 64 mb RAM). humingi ng copy ang tito ko and installed it on his EEEPC. ang laki raw ng difference in speed. it took me two days to configure the wireless but it's working now. hehehe. I already told our IT to install this OS on the school computers, and next week magsisimula na ang computer subject ng mga bata. topic: opensource linux! gonna start installing puppy too on the office units. whee! may gamit pa ang mga p3 units namin. with 128 memory, the browsing and office applications are almost similar to a P4 unit with 512 memory running winxp Quote Link to comment
