“Booting in under 10 seconds and centering around web browsing
and media, xPUD is nothing if not a lightweight operating system.
Start it up and you’ll see a clean interface, allowing you to
quickly find what you’re looking for and get to work. It might not
be the ideal operating system for general use, but if you want
something that boots quickly and barely uses any resources it’s a
keeper.

“Not enough? The system is expandable, both with official
plugins and ones you can roll yourself. In theory any Linux
application could be bundled with xPUD, meaning this distribution
could turn into your ultimate lightweight toolkit, if you’re
willing to put in some work.”
