Puppy Linux 2.14: This Hound Has Teeth
Though worthy Linux distributions from Ubuntu and SUSE run very well, they are also rather large collections (though certainly not as bloated as Windows is!) and this has led to the creation of some smaller incarnations like Damn Small Linux and Feather Linux. The best of these lite Linux versions, though, has got to be Puppy Linux, which, in its 2.14 version, shows that it can run very comfortably with the big hounds.
Overview
Put together from scratch by Australian Barry Kauler, Puppy Linux is an extraordinary development, being a first-class OS than can load itself into and run completely from as little as 128 MB of RAM! And this includes being able to open and save your work completely in RAM. Naturally, working this way is very fast and quiet; you won’t hear much noise coming from your hard drive! Right from the sparse opening screen and the puppy bark, you are treated to a very warm, comforting little world unto itself.
