Puppy
Linux是另外一种Linux发行。它的不同之处在于，Puppy是格外的小，然而又充满了特性。Puppy能从64M的存储设备启动，并且，整套系统
都能在内存中运行。有很多自启动运行光盘的Linux发行，它们需要不停地从光盘读取数据才能运行，Puppy与它们不一样，Puppy整个装载在内存
中。这意味着，所有的应用程序一眨眼的功夫就能启动，并且立即对用户的输入作出响应。Puppy
Linux能从flash卡或者是任何的USB存储设备启动（这是flash-Puppy），或者光盘（这是live-Puppy），或者Zip
disk及LS/120/240
Superdisk（这是zippy-Puppy），或者软盘（这是floppy-Puppy），或者硬盘（这是hard-Puppy）。它甚至可以使用
一张多区段烧录的CD-R/DVD-R以将所有内容保存回CD/DVD中。
Larry Short has announced the release of Puppy Linux 5.2.5: "Lucid
Puppy is our official flagship Puppy Linux release. Version 5.2 was
released on January 6th and since then the team has been feverishly
developing the next version -- and it has now arrived! Lucid Puppy 5.2.5
is the most leading-edge Lucid ever. It has Bash 4.1.0, Syslinux 4.03,
and e2fsprogs 1.41.14, the latest from Ubuntu 'Natty'. It now has JWM
500, up from 493. Gnumeric 1.10.13 is a necessity because a forum member
had posted a bug to Gnumeric that is corrected in 1.0.13. Lucid 5.2.5
uses the Woof of February 28 replacing the Woof of November 28 for three
months of progress in Woof development. All of the favorite Puppy
programs are there in their latest versions." For more details please consult the release announcement and the release notes. Download the live CD image from here: lupu-525.iso (128MB, MD5).
