Puppy Linux is a distro I keep coming back to. No matter how entrenched I become with any flavor of Ubuntu — sans the Unity desktop — or Linux Mint’s Cinnamon and KDE desktops, nothing can beat the speed, convenience and reliability of Puppy Linux on a stick. Boot it directly from a hard drive or from an external drive; either method is fast and convenient with no dual boot menus required. Puppy barks impressively. The credit for that is its design to run in RAM rather than pull its code from slower physical or optical drives.
Great job!
I have been meaning to give Puppy a try for a long time now; you've convinced me. Thanks!
As for suggestions: I keep hearing, almost as a background-noise sort of thing, what a great distribution Knoppix is. I don't EVER remember seeing an informative, in-depth article on Knoppix. What do you think?
