Puppy Linux


Last Update: 2024-04-29 13:31 UTC

Puppy Linux is yet another Linux distribution. What's different here is that Puppy is extraordinarily small, yet quite full-featured. Puppy boots into a ramdisk and, unlike live CD distributions that have to keep pulling stuff off the CD, it loads into RAM. This means that all applications start in the blink of an eye and respond to user input instantly. Puppy Linux has the ability to boot off a flash card or any USB memory device, CDROM, Zip disk or LS/120/240 Superdisk, floppy disks, internal hard drive. It can even use a multisession formatted CD-RW/DVD-RW to save everything back to the CD/DVD with no hard drive required at all.

Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 28 (289), 6 months: 32 (260), 3 months: 35 (250), 4 weeks: 40 (254), 1 week: 45 (251)

Average visitor rating: 7.63/10 from 63 review(s).

For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

 Puppy is my favorite O.S. ever, I have used 8 or 10 Linux flavors and Pup is my #1 because I use old laptops and Puppy flies on just about anything. Also, it is a great RESCUE O.S. and has saved me many times. I've been using Lubuntu lately and it failed me after an upgrade with a login issue - I will repair that stick - but I booted to a stick with Puppy Bookworm64 and was up and going right away. There are some great apps to add to base distro but it's full featured from base. Linux 6.1.76 is my current patch level on Bookworm64

 Puppy S15 on an eeePC 701 4G

S15 is THE Puppy for good old netbooks, or any pre-UEFI computers, toasters, etc.

The recent Ubuntu based Puppies all seem to be based on UEFI, so are unlikely to boot on old MacHines.

Actually, I have always found that the Slackware based Puppies work better.

Puppy S15 is a frugal install only, as far as I can tell. But that's best for security, because you effectively run as root user.

Step 1:

Set up is easy: just a few windows to work through, to set the language/timezone/keyboard (make it as mad as you like, if you wish), format the drive with good old GParted (ext4 in my case), set the bootloader (Grub4DOS), and restart, having set a save file.

Step 2:

Reboot will lead you to a first launch window, where you will have to choose (again) the language/timezone/keyboard setup, and decide whether you want to encrypt you installation for security purposes. Again, set a save file.

This is not even an inconvenience, if security is relevant to you.
-
If you are installing Puppy for the purpose (Porpoise) of selling or donating the toaster then Step 2 is not necessary, unless requested by the recipient.

PRO:

If what I have written makes sense, then Puppy can be made into a highly secure encrypted installation that works pretty much the same as running from a live persistent USB drive. I imagine that if Puppy is installed frugally alongside a regular (static) install, it will be just as secure.

There is lots of valuable information and links on the Puppy Linux website.

Although some people complain about the lack of a Puppy Linux manual; think about this: the Puppy Linux forum/community is a living manual, and when you are tuning your own Puppy you are creating your own manual, which you can give back.

There's a big bowl of morsels to choose from: Puppies aren't spoon fed.

CON:

Puppy S15 doesn't bark. There's a little trumpet fanfare instead.
-

I recommend that every computer user try a Puppy.

It will teach you a lot about computer security.

Yes, there are a lot of very good and very secure live Linuxen, and any regular install can me made as secure as you like.

But there is a particular sense of security that can be learned from using Puppy Linux, which is invaluable.

And it's not a hard learning process.

I can see why some people use Puppy Linux or Puppy derivatives as their main system.

You really can keep your personal data separate from your operating system. Puppy makes this easier.

Give it a try.

(P.S: Kudos to Barry Kauler for starting this off.

 Version Bookworm 10.0.6 also known as Debian Bookworm64

This is the most advanced in the puppyLinux distros...

It is a complete distro with the following features:

Firefox ESR a welcome move in their choice of browsers.
Deadbeef audio player.
A vast selection of media players: mpv, smplayer, celluloid, smtube....whew


There is the legacy puppy applications
and there are also the Synaptic Package applications in the Debian group.

For monitors that don't have brightness controls there is a program that dims the light of your display.

Once a live usb is booted into the computer, the usb can be removed and the program stays in RAM

One feature I like with puppyLinux is that it can be set to turn off after a preselected time.

RAM usage is minimal (200~500Mb)

Built in neofetch gives computer info at a glance.

All kinds of tools including three ways of internet connections.

The help page is choc full of ways of getting things done using puppyLinux.

PuppyLinux Bookworm 10.0.6 (aka Debian Bookworm64) is arguably the best distro made thus far.

Even though it is a 762Mb iso image download it is easy to learn. Just remember to use the help page and it will become

one of your goto distros.
