looks
at Puppy Linux and some of its derivatives (or puplets) that have been
built using the Woof build system.
Puppy has long provided user-friendly software for mastering your own Puppy live CD. Puppy comes with a desktop remastering tool that allows you to take a "snapshot" of your current system and instantly make a live CD of it. Woof is an alternative mastering tool. (It effectively replaces Puppy Unleashed, an earlier tool to create ISO images.) Beginners will prefer the simple CD-Remaster tool while those with more expertise will opt for Woof.
The result of these easy-to-use tools has been an explosion in Puppy Linux variants, commonly called Puplets. There's a Puplet for every interest, demographic, and taste. There are Puplets that default to specific GUIs, Window Managers and browsers; Puplets optimized for specific hardware; stripped down and barebones Puplets; Puplets for different languages and countries; and so on. This webpage lists 20 new Puplets with another 65 available. Pick from the list or develop your own. That's the fun of Puppy.
