Hello,
I just wanted to report that Factor, the UI, and Factory all work on Puppy
Linux.
http://www.puppyos.com/
I'm totally amazed by this distro. I usually run ubuntu and I'm so annoyed
that the hard drive is being hit every once in a while. No matter what I do
to keep memory usage low, the hd is used. Even when I launch minor programs
like a terminal!
Anyways, puppy linux comes with alot of apps and runs totally in RAM. It's
super super fast. :-)
1 - The default X server on puppy doesn't have the GLX extension. Using
their package manager, I found an alternate X server with GL support.
Install it. Restart X.
2 - Use the disk mounting utility to mount the hard disk.
3 - Run Factor. :-)
4 - Edit the ~/.xinitrc to only launch an rxvt instead of their whole
desktop.
5 - Restart X. Run Factory. :-)
