Touchpanel display with puppylinux

Current puppylinux does recognize a touchpanel with the evtouch module.
Older versions must use the evtouch module from Ubuntu.

Running issues with puppylinux

Searching for a good virtual keyboard.
There is xkbd, a virtual keyboard like Ubuntu's onboard would be nice.

ntpd with puppylinux

Download the source of ntpd and make it
There are 2 files that you need:
a. ntpd
b. ntpq
Copy them to the /usr/sbin directory and make them executable

Under /etc/services add the following lines:
ntp 123/tcp
ntp 123/udp

Use the right ntp.conf under the etc directory
Start ntp with ntpd and query with: ntpq -pn

CRON daemon with puppylinux

Same as under dropbear except the file is under:
/var/spool/cron/crontab/root
Start the daemon with: crond -L /tmp/cronjobs.log

How to install BlueGriffon 1.7.2 on Ubuntu 15.04

Problem is that bluegriffon is not in the right repository of Canonical, so we have to add another repository.

$ wget -q -O - http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb-archive.key | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu trusty-getdeb apps" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getdeb.list'
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install bluegriffon
