Hi and welcome clayk. You may have to install pavucontrol, make sure it installs pulse audio with it.

antiX does take some getting used to. 
It is fast on most anything you install it on.

Don't forget antiX! It still works with those really old processors. I have it installed on my Gateway Solo 3100.
Humble specs- 160 mb ram, 233 mhz processor. I had to install Qupzilla to browse, and use JWM.

If you use the Nouveau driver, install mesa-utils to get direct rendering.
What kind of printer do you have? Lexmark is basically unsupported...
I have to use Windows XP in VirtualBox to run my printer.

Thank you so much Biff. I am excited to try out the new wattOS 9. I will install it on a used laptop (yet to be purchased) so I can show others how nice it works. My granddaughter, Katira is 7 1/2 and learning about Linux!! She was asking me about the specs on her little pc just the other day....

I miss the tabs at the top of the old wattOS forum, much easier to navigate. There is no link to the download section and the link to chat on IRC is not there. Calendar is not there. Maybe some green? I also miss the social side of the old forum with the news feed of all the actual latest posts. Your logo about "Light-Fast-Now" is not there. I do miss the old setup

I am glad you decided on the testing version. Maybe clean up the menu a little and do a boot splash (I like the one from wattOS R5...)

wattOS R8 / Re: What is a difference between XTerm, UXTerm and LXTerminal?
« on: November 28, 2014, 08:30:20 PM »
The reason I like to use LXTerminal is that it can accept copy/paste.

Hi James McCoy,
You will find that wattOS already has most of the wifi drivers installed. Otherwise just be directly connected and make sure to get your wireless driver after install.

Are there instructions for Qupzilla Browser?
I found it: open menu, go to internet, right click Qupzilla, select properties. In file properties window select desktop entry tab.
Replace command with "qupzilla --ssl-version-min=tls1 %u" without quotes of course.
