From the Forum: Prit And I are proud to announce the release of our newest e17 Macpup, Macpup Opera 2.0
Macpup Opera 2.0 (a.k.a. O2) is based on Puppy Linux 4.3.1 (k2.6.30.5). O2 has all the apps from 4.3.1 plus Opera 10.10 and Gimp 2.6.3. O2 also Has Dbus 1.2.16.
The Enlightenment e17 window manager version .061 was also compiled and installed from source.
You can also use jwm. Use the exit menu to change window managers (In e17 that is the exit icon on the desktop.Please note that not all the
options in the e17 system shutdown menu work with Puppy Linux, that is
why the exit menu was added).

i like how it looks. the feel of mac in a linux os is something i have never seen before. however the fact that the bootloader dosn't have any user friendly settings is a letdown. for example, by default it boots you into puppy. i want to be able to change that to boot into windows by default. hopefully you can edit the bootloader for the next release.

In order to call it macpup, you might want to consider making hardware detection a priority. On a Mac, as on ubuntu, it's a no-brainer. This one fails to detect wlan0 wireless interface (which some, but not most, pups do). Connection is a headache (as with most pups, not the fault of this distro in particular).
