Hi Israel,

I see, and I agree. There are good features of Puppy, but it is a great
benefit for ToriOS as well as 'other Ubuntu users if we can just

sudo apt-get install torios-desktop jwm jwm-settings-manager

from a PPA. Then users can simply try out the DE on top of their current
DE'.

It is nice to get this clear after praising many good tools and features
of Puppy, that still ToriOS should belong the Ubuntu family of re-spins.

Best regards
Nio
