Title: Has anyone tried Puppy Linux? Post by: jimbo77 on June 09, 2011, 10:16:40 PM I'm actually kind of surprised to see no mention of it!
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Puppy_Linux -It's FAST as the whole operating system runs in RAM -very small size too -Small and minimalistic -Easily customized and can create a new Live CD of changes -Can boot off of a CD then take CD out once it's loaded It's probably the smallest and fastest Linux I've used. I'd love seeing a "Bitcoin" edition with everyone all ready to go!!! Title: Re: Has anyone tried Puppy Linux? Post by: AngelusWebDesign on June 09, 2011, 10:21:52 PM For Linux, I stick with the big boys (Ubuntu, Mint) because they will have more support. By "support" I mean people talking about various problems in threads on Linux forums, which can be found via Google.
If you go with a fringe or less popular distro, you won't have as much help. www.distrowatch.com has a list of the most popular distros. Title: Re: Has anyone tried Puppy Linux? Post by: silversurfer1958 on September 21, 2014, 12:08:06 AM I use Puppy Linux, I like it.
Does what I need it to do. I have three old machines and use various version of Puppy on them, some are very old and Crappy PCs. One version of Puppy, 'Wary' is specifically designed for older machines. I don't mine at home and don't play games so Puppy does what I need to to. Title: Re: Has anyone tried Puppy Linux? Post by: Nagle on September 21, 2014, 04:55:45 AM I tried Puppy Linux once, on an EeePC 2G Surf. It won't install properly. The install process has a text screen which is bigger than the device's display, and you can't reach the options.
