,----[ Quote ]
| Puppy Linux 4.0 has really underwent a major overhaul that even its distro
| logo is changed. And based on what I've seen and experienced, the changes
| were overall for the better. The speed and responsive have improved
| considerably, and those added applications and features have really made
| Puppy Linux deserving to be among the best mini Linux distribution out there.
| Puppy Linux 4.0 not only learned some new tricks but also performed those
| tricks in flying colors.

Puppeee: Puppy for your Eee PC
,----[ Quote ]
| The Asus Eee PC ultraportable comes bundled with a version of Xandros as its
| operating system. If you would like to try a different Linux distro on your
| Eee, there are plenty of options to choose from, including eeeXubuntu,
| EeeDora, ZenEee, EeePCLinuxOS, and Puppeee. The latter is based on Puppy
| Linux, a tiny Linux distribution that sports a few unique features that make
| it a perfect candidate for use on machines like the Eee PC.

Flipping the Linux switch: Penguin on a (USB) stick

| Ever wish you had your whole desktop on a flash disk? You know what we mean,
| you take a spreadsheet up to your 'rents, and you realize that they have no
| program to actually open your spreadsheet with. Or maybe you hop from
| computer to computer in several offices, and hate the fact that every
| computer you work on is just different enough to make it difficult to get
| things done.

Puppy Linux 3.0.1 [Review]
,----[ Quote ]
| Puppy is a nice compromise of tiny and feature-rich. If only it would install
| properly on my test machine, I wouldn't have to dock it a penguin. As a
| LiveCD it's not bad, but its small size shows.
|
| Much like similar micro-distros their very nature makes them hard for me to
| use as a regular desktop, and Puppy is no exception. Although it has a few
| more bells than Damn Small Linux, I still can't use it for anything other
| than LiveCD recovery tasks.

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.

Puppy Linux grows bigger teeth
,----[ Quote ]
| 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
,----[ Quote ]
| 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

| 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
