What is new

Breeezy Download (for the eeePC):

February 1, 2008 - The latest Breeezy for the eeePC is here. The Network Wizard was enhanced for secure connections (WPA, WEP). Breeezy is a Puppy Linux build for the eee originally released on December 27, 2007.

Update: Get this replacement file for ymessenger.com (that would not work in the February 1, 2008 version) and put in /usr/local/bin.
April 5, 2008 - Breeezy works in the Classmate PC! Only the RT73 wireless needs some tweaking - use this dotpup (download then transfer/click inside breeezy and the Classmate PC). Follow the network activation explained by the help (tutorial), using rt73/rausb0 module instead of ath_pci/ath0. Add these lines to the beginning of /etc/rc.d/rc.local (or to your wep-connect or wpa-connect script - make sure to replace in the script all instances of ath_pci with rt73 and ath0 with rausb0):

modprobe firmware_class
modprobe rt73

  - Google DOCS is just too good as an office suite, so if you have broadband connection, then go for it (I tried using the current Firefox 1.5.0.12 in SafePup and it works!). You can also test ajaxwindows.com. For browser-based presentations, try XSLidy.
  - Changes: Using Liberation v.0.2 fonts as TTF fonts; added CDwriter, sound recorder, XfreeCD player, GTK calculator, TextMaker, PlanMaker, GQview and ColorExplorer - this enables the user to burn own remaster quickly, read MS Office files (DOC, XLS), do image presentation, do calculations, enjoy more audio services, and choose color codes; added a quick PETget (package) installer (to use the newer .pet packages, change the filename extension to .tar.gz); revised the menu for a more efficient layout.
