Time for a New Puppy: Puppy Linux 4.3

,----[ Quote ]
| Mac OS X Snow Leopard? Windows 7? Forget it. The coolest OS
| release of the year is Puppy Linux 4.3. By now you already
| know that I have a soft spot for Puppy Linux, so for me
| each new release of this nifty little distro is a cause for
| a minor celebration. And the freshly-baked Puppy Linux 4.3
| is no exception. In fact, the previous 4.2 release left me
| somewhat unimpressed, so I've had especially high hopes for
| the 4.3 version coordinated by Barry Kauler himself. Let me
| tell you straight away -- I wasn't disappointed.

Puppy Linux 4.3 Has Been Redesigned from the Roots

,----[ Quote ]
| Barry Kauler is back at the helm of the Puppy Linux project,
| and he just released version 4.3 of the popular lightweight
| Linux distribution. Puppy Linux 4.3 is a massive upgrade from
| the 4.2 series, with almost all the components updated or
| replaced. Also, the whole system through which this Linux
| distribution is being built has been replaced with a completely
| new one, called Woof. The switch imposed the creation of a new
| package management system, called Puppy Package Manager, which
| supports the use of packages from any distribution within
| Puppy.
