Additionally, what bothered me about Barry's Quirky excursion was its near total inability to run smoothly as a "frugal" install. The hoops I had to jump through just to get Quirkies to somewhat 'stably' run in frugal mode were, well, to be kind, irritating. Barry seemed to have went 'whole hog' in the other direction and wanting everyone to do "full installs". Far be it from to us 'users' question you Masters of the puppy universe, but--for Barry at least---he seems to, with the Quirkies, have completely forgotten what puppy is all about. I know of no one, except Slavvo, using Quirkies (myself included) anymore exactly because of this issue. They are a major PITA to run and maintain. From my perspective, most other puppies' beauty is precisely BECAUSE we do not full install them.
Puppyies, frugally, savefile or remastering (which is made easy now), all via a partition, USB, SD-card, CD or DVD, that is what our world is about. I don't know, maybe I am misguided, and the "end destination" of puppy is the objective to full-install and replace every other Linux, MSFT, or Apple OS out there But if this 'full-install' mentality continues, what would be holding us puppy users here and not just moving over to MX-16 or SimplyLinux or Solus or one of the other zillion nice mid-to-large linux OSes out there that present way less headaches in terms of operation and maintenance?
