Puppy Linux 4.0 on a Dell Inspiron 1150 Review
,----[ Quote ]
| In conclusion, if you are looking for something different I would give Puppy
| a try. This version is all built from source to maximize speed. Every program
| on my machine seems to open instaneously. Even with Compiz functionality
| turned off in Gnome, my Ubuntu install is no where near as fast. There are
| many features in Puppy that are lacking in other distributions. Installation
| to thumb drivers, remastering your own custom cd, and wizards to aid new
| users are just a few.

Battle of the Minis (The Rematch): DSL vs. Puppy
,----[ Quote ]
| Conclusion:
| The final score was close, with Puppy Linux emerging triumphant yet again.
| However, DSL should not be underestimated because it showed us that it has
| the capability to beat distros that are much bigger in size.

Top 5 Tiny Distros
,----[ Quote ]
| I was cleaning up my /home partiton when I noticed I had several tiny distros
| hanging around waiting to be tested. So I thought this might be a good time
| to write an updated Mini-distro Roundup. Unlike last time, the five
| contestants are all less than 88 MB in download size. The five contestants
| are CDlinux 0.6.1, Damn Small Linux 4.3r2, Puppy 4.0rc, Slitaz 1.0, and
| Austrumi 1.6.5. All of these are the latest stable except Damn Small and
| Puppy, that are release candidates. So, we'll cut them just a bit of slack in
| the stability department if need be.
|
| [...]
|
| And of course that honor goes to Puppy Linux. I found it probably to be the
| most complete and definitely the most functional. Being able to use my
| wireless ethernet just really impressed me. And I've always been impressed by
| those Puppy tools. These guys are writing their own software instead of using
| others' in many cases. I think that's cool.
|
| So Puppy wins this competition today. They placed very high last time as
| well. They kept improving while others remained stagnant and even found some
| new competition. I wonder how things will look in 3 more years.

Puppeee: Puppy for your Eee PC
,----[ Quote ]
| The Asus Eee PC ultraportable comes bundled with a version of Xandros as its
| operating system. If you would like to try a different Linux distro on your
| Eee, there are plenty of options to choose from, including eeeXubuntu,
| EeeDora, ZenEee, EeePCLinuxOS, and Puppeee. The latter is based on Puppy
| Linux, a tiny Linux distribution that sports a few unique features that make
| it a perfect candidate for use on machines like the Eee PC.

Puppy Linux 3.0.1 [Review]
,----[ Quote ]
| Puppy is a nice compromise of tiny and feature-rich. If only it would install
| properly on my test machine, I wouldn't have to dock it a penguin. As a
| LiveCD it's not bad, but its small size shows.
|
| Much like similar micro-distros their very nature makes them hard for me to
| use as a regular desktop, and Puppy is no exception. Although it has a few
| more bells than Damn Small Linux, I still can't use it for anything other
| than LiveCD recovery tasks.

Puppy Linux 3.01 Review
,----[ Quote ]
| Short of the issues I had with WPA, overall, the hardware detection was rock
| solid, and I'm impressed. If you have never tried Puppy Linux, I would
| encourage you to give it a go. You may even find that running it from a Live
| CD or a USB drive is enough to best meet your needs. Because it is such a
| light distro, all you really need is a persistent directory for settings
| anyway.

Puppy Linux grows bigger teeth
,----[ Quote ]
| Even in the less than 100MB ISO, Puppy 3.00 packs an application for every
| task -- from browsing the Internet and chatting to writing reports and
| spreedsheets to watching and ripping DVDs, configuring network devices, and
| monitoring firewalls. If you need still more, Puppy 3.00 can also install
| every application available in Slackware 12's repository. These benefits more
| than balance out the distro's minor quirks.

First look at Puppy Linux 3.00
,----[ Quote ]
| Otherwise, all the applications and the system as a whole offered good
| performance and stable operation. It could be a wonderful start, especially
| for anyone wishing to be a little different, someone needing to save space
| and resources, or those requiring a portable solution. It'd be really great
| on a desktop with minimal input, and could be useful on a laptop with a bit
| more. It may not be the prettiest at the party, but it has a great
| personality.

An in-depth look at Puppy Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| I've discussed the features of Puppy Linux in this article to show its
| potential uses. But I've left out one vital fact -- Puppy Linux is just plain
| fun. The friendly interface, easy-to-use wizards and bundled how-to's are
| part of this appeal, but it goes beyond this, into how easily you can tailor
| or even remaster the system. Puppy is an engaging system that comes with the
| opportunity to participate in a vibrant user community.

Taking Puppy Linux for a Walk
,----[ Quote ]
| The two main uses for Puppy Linux (or any Linux live CD) are to:
|
| * Rescue files from the host PC's hosed hard drive or perform various
| maintenance tasks (like imaging that drive)
| * Compute on a machine without leaving a trace—like browser history,
| cookies, documents or any other files—behind on the internal hard drive
