PuppEX Noble64/Bookworm64/Jammy64/Slack64 Linux Live Systems :: Build 241109, 241031, 241029, 241028, 241018, 240928, 240924 and 230309
NEWS ABOUT PuppEX Jammy64 22.04 241109
This Puppy derivative is made by me. It is a replacement for Build 230222. It is built from Ubuntu 22.04 ("Jammy Jellyfish") packages and packages built from woof-CE Recipes. I've also compiled a brand new kernel - 6.11.7-exton. The reason for this new build is that I came to realize that Ubuntu 22.04 LTS will be supported until April 2027...
COMPATIBLE WITH Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
PuppEX Jammy64 is compatible with Ubuntu 22.04 ("Jammy Jellyfish"), which means that Ubuntu packages for Ubuntu 22.04 can be installed and used in PuppEX. You can use the Synaptic Package Manager or the apt command. (apt update, apt upgrade, apt install MyUsefulPackage etc).
CHANGES
This build uses the standard Puppy Linux DE. I.e. ROX. I have added PCManFM File Manager and Samba so that you can reach your Windows computers in you home network. Watch this screenshot:

INSTALL TO HARD DRIVE
PuppEX Jammy64 can easily be installed manually to hard drive if you have at least one Linux system installed. You must also use Grub as boot loader. READ about how to do such an installation at https://puppex.exton.se
IMPORTANT NOTE: The normal remasterpup2 script (which is included in all Puppy Linux versions) doesn't work in PuppEX Jammy64. I had to use my "special remaster tricks" to be able to fully build PuppEX Jammy64. The remasterpup2 script works very well in PuppEX Bookworm64 though. It works very well in PuppEX Slack64 15.0 too.

NEWS ABOUT PuppEX Noble64 Mate 24.04 241031
This Puppy derivative is made by me. It is a replacement for Build 241007. It is built from Ubuntu 24.04 ("Noble Numbat") packages and packages built from woof-CE Recipes. I've also compiled a brand new kernel - 6.11.5-exton. This is special about this new PuppEX version:
1. I've replaced the original Puppy Linux Desktop (ROX) with Mate ("The MATE Desktop Environment is the continuation of GNOME 2. It provides an intuitive and attractive desktop environment using traditional metaphors for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems"), which I find more useful.
2. I've added some essential packages. Among them Samba so you can connect to your Windows computers in your home Network. Study all installed packages:https://puppex.exton.se/noble64/puppex-noble64-mate-installed-packages-241031.txt
The ISO size is therefore rather BIG (930 MB), but PuppEX runs nevertheless as fast as the original Puppy, which means that it runs very very fast! Puppy Linux/PuppEX runs from RAM. You'll need at least 2GB RAM to run this PuppEX version.
NOTE: When the boot process is ready you will automatically be logged in as root to the Mate Desktop. The password for root is woofwoof (if you for some reason should need it). The original root password for all Puppy Linux distributions. When logged in to the Mate DE you must wait a few seconds before the Desktop and the apps are fully loaded.
COMPATIBLE WITH Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
PuppEX Noble64 Mate is compatible with Ubuntu 24.04 ("Noble Numbat"), which means that Ubuntu packages for Ubuntu 24.04 can be installed and used in PuppEX. You can use the Synaptic Package Manager or the apt command. (apt update, apt upgrade, apt install MyUsefulPackage etc).
IMPORTANT NOTE: The normal remasterpup2 script (which is included in all Puppy Linux versions) doesn't work in PuppEX Noble64. The remasterpup2 script works very well in PuppEX Bookworm64 though. It works very well in PuppEX Slack64 15.0 too.
NOTE: PuppEX Noble64 Mate uses the original Ubuntu 24.04 repositories. Ubuntu 24.04 will be supported until April 2029...
INSTALL PuppEX Noble64 Mate TO HARD DRIVE

NEWS ABOUT PuppEX Noble64 with the KDE Plasma (5.27) Desktop Environment - BUILD 241029
This Puppy derivative is made by me. It is built from Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat) packages and packages built from woof-CE Recipes. I've also compiled a brand new kernel - 6.11.5-exton. This is possibly the best PuppEX version I've ever made. Everything just works! I could run the system very well on all of my six different computers. Among them on a really old computer – Acer Aspire 5102WLMi from 2006. Study all installed packages in this PuppEX build: https://puppex.exton.se/noble64/puppex-noble64-kde-installed-packages-241029.txt

NOTE: The best way to run PuppEX (or any other Puppy Linux system) is still to run it from a USB stick and save the system changes on the stick. You will be asked about saving when you reboot or shutdown your computer.

NEWS ABOUT PuppEX Slack64 15.0 241018
This Puppy derivative is built using Puppy Linux Woof-CE Builder. It is compatible with Slackware 15.0 and uses kernel 6.10.13-exton. This Puppy system works very well on UEFI and non-UEFI computers. You can build your own Puppy Linux Slackware 15 compatible system using PuppEX as "groundwork". Just start the remaster tool (Remaster Puppy) and follow the instructions given by the remaster script. I've included devx_puppex-slack64.sfs in the ISO file. Load it if you need it. Study all installed packages in this PuppEX build:
https://puppex.exton.se/slack64/puppex-slack64-installed-packages-241016.txt
PERFORMANCE
This PuppEX Slack64 Build from 241018 runs very well on ALL "normal" computers. Build 241016 was missing a lot of firmware. Therefore X couldn't be auto-configured on some computers.

NEWS 240928 ABOUT PuppEX Bookworm64 - THREE versions
My three new Puppy Linux derivatives are built using the Bookworm Build Script. They are compatible with Debian Bookworm - Debian 12. All versions are for UEFI computers. The Xfce4 and LXQt version (Build 240928/240924) can run in full screen in VirtualBox, since VirtualBox Guest Additions are pre-installed. Watch this screenshot: https://puppex.exton.se/puppex-bookworm64-lxqt-vbox-240924.jpg. All Bookworm64 builds are for UEFI and non-UEFI computers. The Tint2 version (Build 230309) also runs very well in full screen in VirtualBox. Watch this screenshot: https://puppex.exton.se/puppex-bookworm64-tint2-desktop-vbox-230224.jpg
Build 240928 uses Xfce4 as Desktop environment (DE).
Build 240924 uses LXQt as DE. Build 230309 uses Tint2 as DE.
"Compatible with Debian 12" means that you can use the apt command (apt update, apt upgrade, apt install MyUsefulPackage etc) and Synaptic for installing thousands of new Debian packages in PuppEX Bookworm64. All three PuppEX Bookworm64 versions can easily be installed manually to hard drive if you have at least one Linux system installed. You must also use Grub as boot loader. Read about how to do that at https://puppex.exton.se
NOTE ABOUT SOUND: In PuppEX Bookworm64 Build 230309 with Tint2 and Build 240924 with the LXQt DE you will have sound also when logged in as root. That is essential since you normally run all Puppy/PuppEX versions as root. If you don't get sound when using YouTube (for example) you shall open up a terminal - RoxTerminal. After that you will get sound! If not restart Firefox.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT PuppEX Bookworm64 Xfce4 BUILD 240928
Normally you run all Puppy Linux versions as root. I.e. you will automatically be logged in as root to the desktop. Not as regards Build 240928 though. When the boot process is ready you will end up at SLiM Login Manager page. Watch this screenshot: https://puppex.exton.se/puppex-build240928-slim-login.jpg
Log in as the ordinary user puppy with password puppex. You will then enter the Xfce4 Desktop. You can't log in to Xfce4 as root. While logged in as puppy you can of course use Sudo to become root.

Default LANGUAGE
The default language (locale) is set to English in all eight versions of PuppEX.
KEYBOARD
The default keyboard layout is American (us). Change it by running the command "setxkbmap se" (for Sweden) or click on the icon "Setup" in the menu.
INSTALLATION to HDD or USB stick
PuppEX (all versions) can easily be installed to hard drive or a USB stick. Click on the icon Setup >> Install >> Universal Installer in the menu. After installing to a USB stick, you can save changes to the system (including software installations) directly on the stick. When you shut down the system for the first time you will be asked if you want to save your changes. After that all changes are automatically saved.
The root (superadmin) PASSWORD
Normally you have no need for root's password in a Puppy Linux/PuppEX system (since you are always logged in automatically as root). But if you for some unknown reason should need it it is woofwoof in PuppEX Jammy64 and root or woofwoof in PuppEX Noble64/Slack64/Bookworm64. The password for puppy (ordinary user) is puppex in Build 240928 and 240924 (Bookworm64).
