Quirky是Puppy
Linux的姊妹项目,是用一份叫Woof的定制工具创建的Linux发行。其下层的基础构造,例如启动和关机脚本、配制工具、硬件检测、桌面管理、用户
界面、加速及一般化的易用性管理等,对所有用Woof创建的发行而言都是共同的,但是,一次专门的创建将会拥有一套不同的软件包选取及进一步的定制(甚至
是完全不同的二进制软件包)。Quirky由Puppy
Linux和Woof的创始人开发,以挑战极限,在下层基础构造上尝试一些新颖的想法——而它们当中有些可能是激进的或奇异的,正如Quirky这个名字
所意味。 Barry Kauler has announced the release of Quirky 1.2, a fast, minimalist desktop Linux distribution with many characteristics of Puppy Linux, but built with a different toolkit: "Quirky 1.2. This continues bug fixing of 1.0/1.1, but also many packages are upgraded and new packages and ideas incorporated. In particular, a wider range of video/audio formats are supported, which is the main reason the live CD image file is a little bigger. There is now a very small HTML viewer for displaying local help files - this has basic CSS support. Release notes: many utilities and small applications upgraded; multimedia packages upgraded; many bug fixes; simple local-help HTML viewer with libgtkhtml. This release is supposed to play just about any audio/video file, DVD, embedded or streaming media, but not yet WebM/VP8 - I am targeting that for Quirky 1.3."
