You are on to something here... Fast, stable, flexible and It seemed to anticipate my most basic requirements. I have used it as a portable live usb system and it really does work. Savefile is a fantastic implementation, the fix-usb "program" a nifty trick.
The FAQ's have some real answers and lots of insight. Intelligent work has gone into this distro and the implementation is almost perfect.

Impressive. It inspired this "old dog" to keep digging, exploring and playing just like a youngin... For that, I wag my tail in gratitude.


... you' the canine!!!

For me this is the BEST linux distro. no pulseaudio, no systemd, run fast, well documented.
Recognize hardware of most laptops.
Would be awesome a tool to easy create snapshots of this distro.
Thanks FatDog64

This is a wonderful choice for someone tired of Windows but doesn't want the learning curve of most Linux distributions. It follows the Puppy ideas of generally operating as root (except online where spot is used) and omits the source compiling features (but can be added) so you have applications like LibreOffice, VLC and GIMP in a tiny 515 GB iso.

It is excellent as a Live USB stick using Rufus. The Puppy type Savefile collects all all your changes and settings without the performance loss of persistence On the next launch everything reappears as you left it. When your Savefile gets too full, just do a Remaster with all your changes incorporated in the new iso and add a new Savefile on exit. I've added applications including Firefox 108.0 to my current iso.

There is a Fatdog topic on the Puppy forum where your questions are answered quickly and often by the developers.
