Linux Fans Unleash New Distro Called 'Puppy'
A retired university lecturer in Australia has come up with the latest
twist on Linux, fielding a distribution of the operating system that
takes little memory and can boot directly off of a USB thumb drive.
Dubbed Puppy Linux, the OS is one of dozens of custom and guerrilla
variants on Linux circulating throughout the broader software community.
(Many are tracked on the Distrowatch open-source Web site.) But Puppy
appears to be catching on, attracting recent attention on Slashdot in
the wake of the release in May of Puppy Linux version 1.0.2. "I think
one of the key advantages of Puppy is the simplicity," said Barry
Kauler, the developer of Puppy Linux, in an e-mail interview. "When
other distributions start up, you see all these servers loading, but in
Puppy it's really basic and bootup is remarkably fast. However, I still
managed to stick to the requirement of it all loading into RAM and
freeing up the CD drive, on a reference 128MB PC." That
small-is-beautiful theme is Puppy's raison d'etre, according to Kauler.
"If I were pressed to list why I think people use Puppy, it would be
[that it's] very simple under-the-hood, very easy to use, very fast,
highly portable, and easy to install." In more technical terms, Puppy
began life as a hand-built distribution of Linux, which Kauler pieced
together file by file. "Although I have used other distributions for
compiling, mostly Slackware and Mandrake, Puppy is not based on them,"
Kauler said. "In so many cases, I reinvented the wheel to get tiny size.
For example, my unique printing system uses PDQ and the Gimp-print IJS
drivers, but is tied together with my own Printer Wizard, written in Ash
(I don't even have Bash)." (PDQ is a print utility; Gimp is an
image-manipulation program.) "At one stage, Puppy only had GTK 1.2 and C
apps only," Kauler continued. "Then I reluctantly added C++ apps, ...
