Quirky Linux is a classic example of what makes Linux such a varied and useful operating system. Puppy Linux developer Barry Kauler earlier this month released Quirky Xerus 64 version 8.6, which comes packed with the latest innovations for doing Linux stuff differently. This latest in the “Xerus” series is a must-try if you like to push your computing experience envelope. It offers a slightly different approach to blending a traditional Linux desktop with the latest in usability options.
When it comes to small and useful members of the puppy Linux family tree, the most interesting offshoot is the DebianDog branch. It is a mixture of Debian live (build system, working apt package manager), Porteus (init system) and Puppy (look and feel).

Great article! With perfect length too, since nothing of what you wrote is superflous. If someone wants "just the facts", let him/her do his/her own research. Quirky Linux is quite an inusual distro so it deserves time and particular attention to know it, let alone to write a spot-on article about it as you did.
Above all, I want to thank you because it's crystal clear you understand what you are talking about. I've read a review in Distr*watch about this very distro and version and, in honor of the truth, the author gave the impression he was not beyond any noob user, so his conclusions couldn't be more shallow. No disrespect intended.
Last but no least, I've "discovered" LinuxInsider due to your articles, so from now on, I'm one more reader ;-) Thanks so much!
