Puppy Linux
Blindingly fast, incredibly powerful, amazingly tiny...
Puppy Linux, started by Barry Kauler, is a small (28-72M), fully featured Linux distribution. Mission Statement:
- Puppy will easily install to USB, Zip or hard drive media.
- Booting from CD, Puppy will load totally into RAM so that the CD drive is then free for other purposes.
- Booting from CD, Puppy can save everything back to the CD, no need for a hard drive.
- Booting from USB, Puppy will greatly minimise writes, to extend the life of Flash devices indefinitely.
- Puppy will be extremely friendly for Linux newbies.
- Puppy will boot up and run extraordinarily fast.
- Puppy will have all the applications needed for daily use.
- Puppy will just work, no hassles.
- Puppy will breathe new life into old PCs
Enjoy the speed of Puppy as a live CD, or better still, as multi-session CD or DVD in your CD/DVD writer. Puppy Linux is described as AMAZING in the Ubuntu Forums.
"Puppy Linux is a superb, light-weight, fast and versatile Linux distribution with a great selection of applications, graphical system administration utilities and all sorts of unique features not readily available elsewhere. A great choice not only for older computers, but also for those who dislike the bloat of most modern distributions."
