A very small Linux operating system, known as Puppy Linux, has had a “major upgrade” after version 3.0 hit the streets this week.
What makes Puppy Linux different from other distributions of Linux is that the Puppy 3.0 Live CD can be run direct from the CD, without installing to a hard disk. Indeed, the operating system is just 97.6MB in size.
Puppy is designed to be a very small Linux operating system designed to be "reliable, easy to use and fully featured." The entire operating system and all the applications can be run entirely from RAM. It comes with applications such as SeaMonkey/Mozilla Application Suite, AbiWord, Sodipodi, Gnumeric, and Gxine/xine.
