The best Puppy Linux. El mejor Puppy Linux.

I love puppy Linux and at the moment am using bionic pup 64. I just found Dpup Buster and was eager to try it as I have always wanted a version that runs on pure Debian, I much prefer JWM as I find it very easy to customise, so I tried "dpupbuster64-8.0.0-uefi-RC-1-07092019". It works great and I am very impressed, however it has one flaw. "Cryptsetup" is missing from the main sfs file so it is not possible to save an encrypted pupsave file. This was very disappointing. "Cryptsetup" is also missing from "dpupbuster64-8.0.0-XFCE-4-12.5-18112019", but present in "dpupbuster-32bits-PAE-8.0.0-uefi-beta3_29092019". Is this an oversight or intentional? I find being able to encrypt pupsave files essential for security reason. I could just use the 32 bit version but I also use a number of portable "appimages" and they are all 64 bit. I hope "cryptsetup" will be reinstated in future 64 bit versions of dpupbuster as it would then be my first choice.

Dpup has always been an excellent system without a doubt. I've tried (D)PupJibaro Jessie and was a marvellous job indeed. Now my system is DPup Stretch (RC-2) and it's such a great piece of work! Now, in need of Buster, I have high hopes for this one. But, as always, personal taste is quite a factor.

Great work! Only problem so far I found is with "Download Chrome, Vivaldi or Opera". It was about some missing dependencies.
