Distribution Release: Puppy Linux 2.16 |
 |
Barry Kauler has announced the release of Puppy Linux 2.16: "Another wonderful new Puppy! There is a massive list of new features, which is incredible considering that we have only incremented the version number from 2.14 to 2.16 (with the 2.15 Community Edition in between). New features include the SFS Boot Manager, 'humongous initrd', print-to-PDF, flush-RAM-to-Flash, plus a host of new and updated applications developed especially for Puppy. Release notes: Puppy now has a GUI SFS Boot Manager to manage loading of SFS modules; dual support for both Unionfs and Aufs; true flushing of RAM to the 'pup_save' file when booted from Flash memory...."

| About Puppy Linux |
| Yes, Puppy Linux is yet another Linux distribution. What's different here is that Puppy is extraordinarily small, yet quite full featured. Puppy boots into a 64MB ramdisk, and that's it, the whole caboodle runs in RAM. Unlike live CD distributions that have to keep pulling stuff off the CD, Puppy in its entirety loads into RAM. This means that all applications start in the blink of an eye and respond to user input instantly. Puppy Linux has the ability to boot off a flash card or any USB memory device, CDROM, Zip disk or LS/120/240 Superdisk, floppy disks, internal hard drive. It can even use a multisession formatted CD-R/DVD-R to save everything back to the CD/DVD with no hard drive required at all! |
