A new Puppy aimed primarily at Christians but open to all!

PACKAGES / NOTES

ChurchPup is based on Puppy 3.01 and all of us involved in the project acknowledge a debt of gratitude to Barry Kauler and all the members of the community for doing all the really hard work.

LOF on the murga-linux forum first expressed a desire to work on a Christian Puppy derivative that focuses on Bible study, office applications, internet, and email, but also includes applications for multimedia presentations, audio and video editing, and musical notation. It is based on an unleashed puppy 3.01 but many packages were left out to simplify the menu and save space.(It's a BIG Puppy!)

The added packages are as follows:

• Gimp 2.4.0-rc3: Graphics editor Works great -- just wanted to try it out.

• A cutdown OpenOffice Suite version 2.2.0.

• BibleDesktop 1.0.8 : a front end for Jsword, a very versatile Bible study tool written in Java

• JRE1.6.0_01 : a java runtime environment. Primarily, it's intended for use by BibleDesktop, but it also works with Firefox, the default browser.

• Firefox 2.0.0.11 with the Bible Fox theme by Bodizzle2 pre-installed and ProCon Latte (content filter) as an optional install when you first start the browser.

• Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 Email Client

• Note:Preferences are preset so that mailto: links viewed in Firefox will open Thunderbird and http links in emails viewed in Thunderbird will launch Firefox.

• Four HTML Bibles, the King James Bible, the American Standard Bible, the NET Bible, and the WEB Bible.

• Adobe Reader 7.0 is the default .pdf viewer

• Audacity 1.2.3 sound editor.

• Denemo-0.7.3-b1 front end for Lilypond-2.10 Musical notation software which is also included.

• GXBible: a script that uses gxmessage to display a different Bible verse each time ChurchPup starts up or when you click the Bible icon on the desktop. If you don't read the Bible much , think of it as God's "nag screen."

• Kino 1.0.0 Video Editor.

• Mplayer 108 Media Player is the default Media Player.

• Cdmio is the CD Player.

• Xtris: a Tetris clone included by request.

• Timidity midi player for audio output of Denemo/Lilypond.

• Last but not least: WhoDo's EZPup for exquisite good looks and usability.

To God be the Glory! Amen.
