Puppy Linux: Top Dog of the Lightweight Distros (OSNews)

[Posted May 18, 2011 by ris]

Howard Fosdick takes a look at Puppy Linux. "Flexibility is essential when working with low-end computers. You need software that runs on the system you have, rather than requiring you to upgrade, change, or fix hardware. Puppy doesn't impose hardware requirements. For example, Puppy installs and boots from any bootable device and saves your work to any writeable device. No hard disk, optical drive, or USB? No problem. Want to use your old SCSI drive, floppy, Zip drive, LS-120/240 Superdisk, or compact flash memory? Puppy does it. It's great to see a distro that leverages whatever odd old devices your system has."
