A. I believe that Puppy is best used off the LiveCD, why don't you install a different distro?
Puppy is now based off of Ubuntu, just fyi. I personally think that Ubuntu is over rated, I prefer Linux Mint to Ubuntu due to user friendliness. If you want try the Linux Mint 9 go with Flux Box, Xfce, or LXDE for faster versions that require less system resources (In other words to run like Puppy) or even LMDE (Debian Edition). http://linuxmint.com/
You may want to give Fedora a try also which is another of my favorites: http://fedoraproject.org/

The right, proper, safe way to turn a Linux (Slackware) machine off?
Q. I noticed it might corrupt the hard disk if I turn it off while it is running a desktop environment. I noticed I must first get out of the desktop environment, and give the command exit and make myself log off, and then it is safe to turn it off. Is that correct?
thanks!!
thanks!!
A. No, to properly shutdown, run the following as root:
/sbin/shutdown -h now
If you wan't to be able to shutdown as a regular user, set the suid bit:
chmod +s /sbin/shutdown
You can also edit /etc/inittab and change the default runlevel to 4, then you will be able to just shutdown from the kde menu.
/sbin/shutdown -h now
