Linux發行，Puppy Linux 5.4 "Slacko" 發布
是的，Puppy Linux是另外一種Linux發行。它的不同之處在于，Puppy是格外的小，然而又充滿了特性。Puppy能從64M的存儲設備啟動，并且，整套系統 都能在內存中運行。有很多自啟動運行光盤的Linux發行，它們需要不停地從光盤讀取數據才能運行，Puppy與它們不一樣，Puppy整個裝載在內存 中。這意味著，所有的應用程序一眨眼的功夫就能啟動，并且立即對用戶的輸入作出響應。Puppy Linux能從flash卡或者是任何的USB存儲設備啟動（這是flash-Puppy），或者光盤（這是live-Puppy），或者Zip disk及LS/120/240 Superdisk（這是zippy-Puppy），或者軟盤（這是floppy-Puppy），或者硬盤（這是hard-Puppy）。它甚至可以使用 一張多區段燒錄的CD-R/DVD-R以將所有內容保存回CD/DVD中。
Barry Kauler has announced the release of Puppy Linux 5.4 "Slacko" edition, a small and lightweight distribution with packages "borrowed" from the latest Slackware Linux release: " It's out! Slacko is one of our flagship puppies, built with the latest Woof from Slackware 14.0 binary packages. It is all-puppy right through, with the advantage of binary compatibility with Slackware 14.0 and access to the Slackware package repositories. Changes: significant improvements in using the Aufs layered file system; improved automatic detection and configuration of analog and 3G modems; Samba printing issues resolved; the X.Org wizard has improved detection and configuration options; many improvements and bug fixes for boot-up and shut-down scripts....
