I have a thought: Is latest version of Puppy Linux best? |

Since it is text based, it has a learning curve, like vim. I did not want album art, etc... http://www.smokey01.com/coolpup/cmus...w-20111002.pet The cmus-2.3.3-w5.pet from PPM gave me an error: cmus: Error: libavformat.so.52: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
Personally, I like VLC a lot. Might be worth you having a look at.

I prefer Gxine, it’s bundled with Puppy Linux 4.X and earlier.
As I said previously, 4.X is better suited to hardware OP is using. |
TobiSGD mentioned hibernating Linux. How do I do that?
After about half an hour's prefect streaming, Deadbeef (with pfix=noram) just hesitated for about 1 second during playback :o( Brian |

I guess the main problem is, not a great laptop these days: neither Linux nor Windows is going to fix that. That said, one of the lightweight Linuxes like Tiny Core Linux might do nicely.
256 MB is even enough to meet Xubuntu's requirements. You could install all of the gstreamer plugins, Totem, VLC, maybe even rhythmbox? And have yourself a pretty real OS. Also, not to start a flame against Puppy or anything, but it's no wonder you are observing random crashes. Quote:

- Have a swap partition that equals the amount of RAM in size (or let it be bigger) - Install pm-utils, if not already installed. - Add Code:
resume=/dev/sda1 Time to hibernate on my Asus EEE PC 4G: about 15 seconds Time to wake up that machine: about 20 seconds And the 4GB SSD in that machine is anything else but fast. |
