Jaro National High Loves Puppy Linux

In the midst of the Philippines' Visayas Islands Inventions Contest and Exhibits, the students of Jaro National High School in Iloilo City had their attentions fixed on a puplet (Puppy Linux - based distro) called the Pinoy Pup Linux Operating System... encouraged by the robustness and usefulness of the distro, they were determined to bring home some, hack it, and study Puppy Linux to create their own for next year's competition. JNHS has finally begun its liberation process from pirated softwares!

The following are the users' feedbacks on Pinoy Pup Linux v. 5.431
* runs so fast on an old machine (Pentium II, 128MB RAM)
* Complete with Gambas (V-Basic), Codeblocks, Python, Perl, PHP with local server for programming needs.
* Connects instantly to Globe Tattoo, has problems connecting with SmartBro's Longcheer. ZTE works well, though.
* The XOrg's 1024x768 resolution was crystal-clear for playing DVD's on Xine
* GIMP 2.4 and OpenOffice 3.1 are slightly outdated on the judges' standards (but new and heavier ones are not feasible on OLD machines)
* The "chick" in the wallpaper is a crazy idea
* Live CD brings a great feeling of security
