Puppy Linux 6.0 "Tahrpup" 發布
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。
We have another official Puppy Linux release!
Since I retired from developing Puppy Linux early in 2014, keen
members of the Puppy-community forked my Woof Puppy-builder, naming it
woof-CE.
Since then, 01micko has been active with a Puppy built from
Slackware packages, named "Slacko Puppy", latest is 5.7 with a new
release expected soon.
The guys have also been working on another pup, built from Ubuntu
Trusty Tahr binary packages, under the leadership of Phil Broughton
(666philb in the Puppy Forum), and this has now reached release status.
It is named "Tahrpup" and is version 6.0.
Tahrpup is an official release of Puppy Linux for those who would
like the package manager to have compatibility with the large collection
of packages in the Ubuntu repository, and able to install and use most
of them.
Some default package choices, such as VLC, UI and system operations,
are different from the Slacko Puppy build, which may be other reasons
users might choose Tahrpup.
