Previously I installed Puppy Linux Slako 5.7.1 with SCIM Chinese. Since I regularly use Ubuntu I thought it best to install Puppy Linux Tahr 5.0.6, commonly called “tahrpup” instead. I tried to install SCIM Chinese teh same way as on the Slacko version, and it failed. Eventually I did get the FCITX Chinese to install. It works very well, but was somewhat difficult to find out what works.

No Arch Bang 32 Bit Support, Forum Registration is Terrible

Sometimes you just have to give up, and I have for Arch Bang. I have an old desktop that was looking for a new OS, so I researched and found Arch Bang, a Linux variant. After downloading the iso and trying to install it says that I need a 64 bit machine. In fact, they dropped 32 bit support this year. Nothing on their download page says this. As I search on Google I also try to register to their forum. They require a registration code, located on their forum. I cannot find this anywhere, therefore I cannot register. Sometimes you have to just admit that they do not want you in their club.
