“With the recent release of Puppy Linux 4.00, developer Barry
Kauler and his team have provided a lightweight but functional
Linux operating system. To help reduce size and include more
functionality over the previous binary-package-based Puppy 3.01,
Puppy 4.00 has been compiled from a Slackware 12-based source. Yet
despite its small size–the ISO file is a meager 87.1MB–Puppy has
an abundance of applications, with more than enough for an average
user.“To maintain a consistent user interface, Puppy 4.00 has
abandoned GTK+ 1 and Tcl/Tk, and is now a totally GTK+ 2 based
system. As such, the developers have been able to migrate and
upgrade Puppy to a host of new GTK+ 2 replacement applications,
such as Osmo personal organiser, ePDFView PDF Viewer, Homebank
personal finance manager, Pidgin chat client, Fotox image viewer
(now renamed Fotoxx), and mhWaveEdit audio editor, among
others…”
