“Indeed, Puppy’s diminutive size is one of the distribution’s
most endearing characteristics, as is the fact that it loads into
RAM, making it extraordinarily fast. On most systems, in fact, boot
time is just 30 to 40 seconds. Bootable from media including
LiveCDs, zip disks, USB drives and hard drives, Puppy also
automatically detects most hardware.

“Like Damn Small Linux (DSL), Puppy Linux is a particularly good
choice for any low-resources computing environment. Given the
continuous updates and improvements to the software, however, it’s
increasingly a good option for anyone seeking a powerful, highly
secure, easily customizable and bloat-free operating system.”
