Puppy more feisty than Xubuntu
My task today was a simple one: Pull four Quicktime videos from an SD card and burn them on a CD.
I booted Xubuntu Feisty, and after a few minutes found xfburn, which came standard with 7.10. I had a couple of Thunar windows open, that was it, but xfburn pretty much crashed on launch. I went into the process manager, killed it, then closed my Thunar windows and restarted xfburn.
(The hardware: VIA C3 Samuel 1GHz processor, 256 MB RAM, TDK 32x CD-RW drive, and yes, I have a swap file.)
Selecting the files and burning the CD was easy and went smoothly. I had my CD.
Then I went back into Thunar to delete the .mov files from the SD chip. Xubuntu wouldn't let me do it. I can't remember the exact error message, but it was something about there not being enough room in the trash. In any event, I couldn't complete the task.
So I rebooted into Puppy 2.14 from the live CD.
