When I tried Puppy the "kind of" seemed to omit application directories
that would run when an AppRun was included! Maybe there was something
wrong with what I did or the release of Puppy I tried (from a magazine
cover disc).[1] But I feel that the runnable application directory is a
central feature of rox filter.

[1] Also couldn't get a compiler to install despite following the
instructions for the Puppy way of installing things.

So overall, I must admit I didn't find Puppy much of an 'advert' for ROX.
YMMV though.

I found it was much easier to use rox with crunchbang. But that doesn't
deal with the above question, alas...

Slainte,

Jim
