Review: 'Puppy' Takes A Bite Out Of Distro Bloat

This Live Distro from Down Under is built to make every byte count -- and you're gonna love some of its new tricks.

By Ross Greenberg and Matt McKenzie

I've always wanted to start an article by saying "This puppy really works!" Now I can.

Recently I spent some time playing with Puppy Linux, one of just a few distros dedicated to the idea that bigger is not better when it comes to desktop software. A lot of people seem to agree, since Puppy is currently romping around No. 25 on the DistroWatch rankings -- a pretty good showing, given the fact that it's just a few months out of beta and a very different critter than your average desktop Linux distro.

And so on...... They really like their Puppy!

it's linked in the Great News Thread. Superb write up though.

I imagine Barry is printing it out and framing it as we speak !

I did a forum search on the word pipeline before I posted, just in case somebody had already posted about it, but it did not find the entry in that thread. A search still doesn't find it. Odd, I wonder why???

Doesn't matter !
It's such a good read that it probably warrants 2 threads anyway

I have put that on our news for July:
