Puppy
Linux是另外一种Linux发行。它的不同之处在于，Puppy是格外的小，然而又充满了特性。Puppy能从64M的存储设备启动，并且，整套系统
都能在内存中运行。有很多自启动运行光盘的Linux发行，它们需要不停地从光盘读取数据才能运行，Puppy与它们不一样，Puppy整个装载在内存
中。这意味着，所有的应用程序一眨眼的功夫就能启动，并且立即对用户的输入作出响应。Puppy
Linux能从flash卡或者是任何的USB存储设备启动（这是flash-Puppy），或者光盘（这是live-Puppy），或者Zip
disk及LS/120/240
Superdisk（这是zippy-Puppy），或者软盘（这是floppy-Puppy），或者硬盘（这是hard-Puppy）。它甚至可以使用
一张多区段烧录的CD-R/DVD-R以将所有内容保存回CD/DVD中。
Barry Kauler has announced the release of Puppy Linux 5.1 "Wary" edition, a small, fast and light distribution designed for older hardware: "Wary
Puppy 5.1 has been released. Wary Puppy is our Puppy Linux variant that
targets support for older hardware, especially in the areas of video
and analog modem dial-up. Wary Puppy 5.1 is a bug-fix and minor upgrade
of Wary 5.0. The default kernel is now the long-term supported
2.6.32.28. The PET package repository is still small but is growing,
with many major applications added to it. For a 'minor upgrade', rather a
lot of applications have been upgraded, as well as one new one, the
'Wcpufreq' CPU frequency scaling tool, added. There have been numerous
tweaks in the underlying infrastructure." Read the release announcement and check out the more detailed release notes for more information. Download (MD5): wary-510-k2.6.32.28.iso
