It is also possible if the BIOS does not support booting from USB drive, to boot from the CD and keep user state on a USB key drive this will be saved on shutdown and read from the USB device on bootup.

For newer systems, the USB key drive version might be better (although if USB device booting is not directly supported in the BIOS, the Puppy floppy boot disk can be used to kick-start it). Puppy 1.0 series will run comfortably on very dated hardware, such as a Pentium computer with at least 32 MB RAM. It has no unionfs, extreme minimal persistence support, and has no package manager or ability to install applications. Puppy 0.1 is the initial release of Puppy Linux. Puppy Linux started as Vector Linux based until it became a fully independent distribution. His own distribution, with an emphasis on speed and efficiency and being lightweight, started from "Boot disk HOWTO" and gradually included components file-by-file until Puppy Linux was completed.
History īarry Kauler started Puppy Linux in response to a trend of other distributions becoming stricter on system requirements over time. The tool Woof can build a Puppy Linux distribution from the binary packages of other Linux distributions. The distribution was originally developed by Barry Kauler and other members of the community, until Kauler retired in 2013. Applications such as AbiWord, Gnumeric and MPlayer are included, along with a choice of lightweight web browsers and a utility for downloading other packages. The entire system can be run from random-access memory (RAM) with current versions generally taking up about 600 MB (64-bit), 300 MB (32-bit), allowing the boot medium to be removed after the operating system has started. Puppy Linux is an operating system and family of light-weight Linux distributions that focus on ease of use and minimal memory footprint.
