Another great puplet from forum member 'gray' (yet another Aussie!).

If you like XFCE and Opera, this is the one to go for:

Puppy Special Edition

...almost makes me think we should have 3 or 4 "official" puppies ...but that would probably be "upsetting the apple cart". I too would like to see more support for our puplets in terms of support. One way is to have a special promotion puplet, that we support by testing, and promoting and releasing as a Puppy Special Edition. NOP and and Ultrapup being the basis of other puplets are both suitable for this sort of attention. As soon as 4.2 is released we can think of 'Kennel or 'Woof' (Puppy 4.3) and how best to implement it . . .

"I would like to see some of the puppy derivatives get some kind of official designation. There are so many puplets and too little in terms of recommendations/reviews to distinguish between them. To some extent, some are just personalized versions, sometimes with bugs or other non-standard nuances (like Shutdown going to shell instead of fully shutting down). Having official versions would assure that certain standards are kept and that they are designated as "safe" and thoroughly tested.
