“Not that there’s anything wrong with an Ubuntu-based live CD that’s intended for old machines and uses only out-of-date software. Oh no. Nothing at all.”
Well here’s a Puppy based live CD that runs old, out-of-date software. Nothing wrong with it either.

I just grew tired of installing the same proggies by hand every time I had reinstalled a distro, so I made my own.

Just wanted to say thank you, because a lot of ideas for software selection were coming from your blog. Especially elinks, htop and gtkedit – they totally rock.

K.Mandia, if you’re looking for a lightning-fast Linux distro,check out Turbopup – the optimized derivative of Puppy 4.2 with loads of fixes and speed tweaks

Much faster than Puppy 4.2 standard

Great review! By the way – I’m writing this from the very Puppy version you reviewed. The one you grabbed was the very latest which, after doing a “7 day refresh” at DistroWatch’s “HPD” counter you’ll see is running at #2, and that’s Puppy-4.2.

The team really did a fabulous job with this one! A solid round of applause to “WhoDo & Team” – and to you kind sir as well for such a great review!

Amicalement/Cheers!

I noticed puppy a looong time ago.

But it is really great work. It deserves a lot more attention than I have given it.

[...] Truly great stuff I grabbed two or three torrents the other day, when I was testing my overworked, underpaid Pentium laptop in its role as rtorrent slave. I mentioned OpenGEU yesterday, which was disappointing because of its heavy Gnome underbelly and overdone desktop glitter. But this one is the complete opposite: function and speed combined with an appearance that underscores its efficiency. [...]

LOL, after asking about the ubuntu remaster to make a customized small distro a couple of weeks ago I finally settled for a remaster of Puppy linux. It’s quite easy to build a remastered version, just run a built in script and there you are. Currently I`m working on a remaster with emelfm as the filemanager and couple of other lightweight apps.
