Puppy Linux is a special edition of the Puppy Linux operating system that uses packages from the latest upstream Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) release. The distribution is suitable for old and semi-old computers and allows users to install Ubuntu applications. May 24, 2010 REVIEW: Puppy Arcade 8 (LiveCD 105mb) Yet another great release for Puppy Arcade. I like the idea of having a poll for the browser, which means that not only do you get a smaller.iso download, but you don’t have to waste your time downloading a browser which you.

Puppy Linux is an independent open source operating system, based on GNU/Linux and designed to provide users with a very small, yet quite full featured distribution that runs entirely in RAM and requires only 128MB of system memory.
Distributed as a 32-bit Live CD
The main target of Puppy Linux are low-end machines or computers with very old hardware components that are no longer supported by modern operating systems, such as Windows 8. It is distributed as a single Live CD ISO image, supporting only the 32-bit (i386) architecture.
The latest version of Slacko Puppy Linux has been released! Release Notes. Puppy is distributed in ISO image format represented by the.iso file extension. That is, it's an image of a CDROM which can be burnt to CD or DVD. There are several wallpapers and themes included or you can download other themes from the Puppy Package Manager.
Because it boots directly from RAM, all the applications will open in the blink of an eye and are extremely responsive. It can be written to and booted from USB flash drives, floppy disks, zip disks, CD-ROM devices, as well as internal hard disk drives.
Boot options
When Puppy boots, it will prompt users with a minimal bootloader where you can press the F2 or F3 keys for basic or advanced help. Basically, you will be able to enter particular boot parameters (e.g. ignore ACPI, change keyboard layout, etc.).
When the graphical session loads, the distribution will display a dialog from where users can change the hostname, set the timezone and location, change the keyboard layout, as well as the screen resolution.
Features the same layout as other puplets
The desktop environment is comprised of a single taskbar, located on the bottom edge of the screen, from where users can access the main menu and launch applications, switch between virtual workspaces, and access the system tray area.
Default applications
Default applications include the Sylpheed email client, uGet download manager, Dillo web browser, Transmission torrent downloader, XChar IRC client, gFTP file transfer client, Gnumeric spreadsheet editor, HomeBank financial manager, AbiWord word processor, Geany text editor, Viewnior image viewer, GNOME MPlayer video player, Pmusic audio player, and much more.
Bottom line
All in all, Puppy Linux is a lightweight, very fast and responsive Linux-based operating system specifically designed for low-end computers. We strongly recommended for people who are looking for a solution to revive old computers.
