Puppy Linux

Your Rating: star

Puppy is extraordinarily small, yet quite fully featured. Puppy boots into a 48 - 54M ramdisk, and that's it, the whole caboodle runs in RAM. Unlike live CD distributions that have to keep pulling stuff off the CD, Puppy in his entirety loads into RAM. This means that most applications start in the blink of an eye and respond to user input instantly. Puppy can boot off different media: flash-Puppy (Puppy booting off a flash card or any USB memory device), live-Puppy (Puppy booting off a CDROM), zippy-Puppy (Puppy booting off a Zip disk or LS/120/240 Superdisk), floppy-Puppy (Puppy booting off a set of floppy disks), hard-Puppy (Puppy booting off an internal hard drive).
