Puppy Linux

Last Update: 2019-04-11 06:22 UTC

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 ramdisk and, unlike live CD distributions that have to keep pulling stuff off the CD, it 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-RW/DVD-RW to save everything back to the CD/DVD with no hard drive required at all.

Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 27 (349), 6 months: 25 (389), 3 months: 23 (460), 4 weeks: 29 (402), 1 week: 34 (380)

Average visitor rating: 9.29/10 from 109 review(s).

 I use it as live USB only.
Very light distro. Perfect for my old hardware (laptop). Smooth hardware detection. Little cumbersom to configure Mobile Broadband USB modem with PuppDia (modem Init string). I would love to see Network Manager built into this distro (like it is in most linux distros).

 Small and strong. Fast on old hardware. User friendly. Simpathic. Very flexibile. Nice OS.

 I just can't not love puppy linux. I've used it to rescue multiple computers, so it's been on my keyring for the last few years and will remain there for a while to come.
