Pupeez is,

Simple:

Word Processing - Abiword
Image Viewing - GQView
Image Editing - Fotox 0.37(Find your photo in GQView and right click 'Edit in Fotox')
Listen to Music - BMP

PDF Viewer - epdfviewer
Text pad - Leafpad
Calculator - Galculator

Games - GemGem, Bubbles and TK mines

- The menu system has been re-designed to make it as simple as possible
- All 'technical' applications have been removed.

Elegant:

- Pupeez uses a cut-down version of Ezpup. A fantastic add-on to make the interface look slick.
- The User Interface has been designed to be as efficient and intuitive as possible.
- Hotpup mounts any drive as a icon on the desktop. Superb work by Dougal

Fast:

This is where the most of my time was spent. The size of the puplet.
Pupeez is only a 77Mb iso and it's built using puppy 2.17 (using the same kernel as 3.01 and version 4).
I've spent a lot of time cutting out unnecessary applications, images and library to achieve a 58Mb pup_217.sfs file.

PUPEEZ WAS DESIGNED AND BUILT TO RUN ON A 128MB, 300Mhz Computer.
PUPPEZ is built to be FAST.

The idea is that you can transform your old computer and hand it to your Parents, Grandparents using Pupeez.
Or if you want a simple PC to browse the internet, play some music or look at your photos, this is puplet for you.

All the other puppy users who have helped me over the last four months.

Known Problems:

- I couldn't decide whether to add support for printing. So although i've added some printing packages, i haven't tested it yet.
- The settings-focus menu item on the menu shouldn't be their, it maybe a bug in icewm, or I maybe just being dumb. Here's my forum post for this:http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=27806∞
- To save space and speed, i only installed Flash 7 with opera. If you would like to upgrade (supported and tested on opera 9.25) i will provide a .pet soon.
- I had to modify the xdg menu system heavily, unfortunately if you install a new app, it will not appear in the menu. I will post a new thread to explain how to add a new menu item manually.
