Puppy Linux 3.01 Review

,----[ Quote ]
| Short of the issues I had with WPA, overall, the hardware detection was rock 
| solid, and I'm impressed. If you have never tried Puppy Linux, I would 
| encourage you to give it a go. You may even find that running it from a Live 
| CD or a USB drive is enough to best meet your needs. Because it is such a 
| light distro, all you really need is a persistent directory for settings 
| anyway.

| Even in the less than 100MB ISO, Puppy 3.00 packs an application for every 
| task -- from browsing the Internet and chatting to writing reports and 
| spreedsheets to watching and ripping DVDs, configuring network devices, and 
| monitoring firewalls. If you need still more, Puppy 3.00 can also install  
| every application available in Slackware 12's repository. These benefits more 
| than balance out the distro's minor quirks.

First look at Puppy Linux 3.00

| Otherwise, all the applications and the system as a whole offered good 
| performance and stable operation. It could be a wonderful start, especially 
| for anyone wishing to be a little different, someone needing to save space 
| and resources, or those requiring a portable solution. It'd be really great 
| on a desktop with minimal input, and could be useful on a laptop with a bit 
| more. It may not be the prettiest at the party, but it has a great 
| personality.

An in-depth look at Puppy Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| I've discussed the features of Puppy Linux in this article to show its 
| potential uses. But I've left out one vital fact -- Puppy Linux is just plain 
| fun. The friendly interface, easy-to-use wizards and bundled how-to's are 
| part of this appeal, but it goes beyond this, into how easily you can tailor 
| or even remaster the system. Puppy is an engaging system that comes with the 
| opportunity to participate in a vibrant user community.

Taking Puppy Linux for a Walk

,----[ Quote ]
| The two main uses for Puppy Linux (or any Linux live CD) are to:
| 
|     * Rescue files from the host PC's hosed hard drive or perform various 
|     maintenance tasks (like imaging that drive) 
|     * Compute on a machine without leaving a trace—like browser history, 
|     cookies, documents or any other files—behind on the internal hard drive

| It's nice to put in a CD, boot in a couple of minutes and have the Puppy 
| environment I love right there for me. Abiword, Geany, Seamonkey, Pidgin, 
| ROX-Filer, MtPaint. Every one works great and loads quickly.

ReviewLinux.Com: Puppy Meet My USB Key

,----[ Quote ]
| Puppy Linux is a great Linux distribution to place on a USB key. It's easy 
| installation instructions make it a breeze to install. From boot up to 
| installation on your key in under 10 minutes. It's just that fast. Puppy 
| Linux 3.0 was released October 2 2007 and I thought I would give a small tour 
| on walking your puppy to the key. Enjoy!
