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 1.3, a small desktop distribution similar to Puppy Linux, but built with a different toolset: "Quirky 1.3 released. This is built from the 'forked' Woof that I have been discussing recently, and is an opportunity to evaluate the changes in Puppy files and streamlined searching in the 'init' script. A small amount of package upgrading since 1.2, but mostly this release is a test bed for the advances in Woof. In particular, 1.3 is built with the 'simplified file names'. Apart from simplified names, there is also an id-string appended to the files, plus streamlining of the search-code in the 'init' script. 'Rerwin' has also made many advances in analog and 3G modem detection, configuration and usage, that are in Woof. Build 1.3 is for us to thoroughly test these new ideas."
