Maple Dye, "Puppy Linux Podcast Theme Song"





The theme song for a podcast I conceived in the times when Puppy Linux was my main OS, but never got around to doing; at some point I reached the conclusion that I wasn't geek enough to appeal to the typical Puppy Linux user (I'm just a "power user" after all, and not that powerful most of the time to be honest... Also, if I have to go through technical drudgery, I prefer that at least it is music related).

My initial premise was doing something that sounded slightly "mechanic", showing, blatant and proudly, that it was created with a computer (a bit like Hacker Public Radio's tune), and also with an influence from 80's TV magazine shows.

Sadly, a short time later I was evicted from Puppy, when I discovered that my brand new computer made an ominous, non-stop chirping whenever I used any of its versions. I guess it didn't get on well with the distro's RAM-only philosophy, which is one of its most admirable features in my view. Feeling terribly vulgar I moved to Ubuntu, and once in there I have to say I discovered what good package management meant ("wait, so I can download a program and it just works? No dependency hunting?"), so I don't think I could go back to Puppy because my life is too troubled and busy for those byzantine games. Now if only we could make a Frankenstein of both distros, BS free RAM only plus packages that work, ah, ah...
