Puppy Linux 5.7 "Slacko" 發布，非常小的Linux發行能從64M的存儲設備啟動
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。
Puppy Linux 5.7 "Slacko" edition, a small and fast distribution built from
and compatible with Slackware's binary packages, has been released as
the "flagship" Puppy release. From the release announcement: "Slacko Puppy is built from a 'Puppy builder' system named Woof,
which can build a Puppy Linux distribution from the binary packages of
any other distro. There are many 'puppies' built with Woof, including
Precise, Wary, Racy, and Slacko. A new release of Slacko Puppy Linux is
out! Slacko Puppy is built from Slackware-14.0 binary TXZ packages,
hence has binary compatibility with Slackware and access to the
Slackware, Salix and Slacky package repositories. More comprehensive
release notes and documentation of known issues are available.
Slacko 5.7 is the first Puppy built from the woof-CE build system,
forked from Barry Kauler's Woof late last year after he announced his
retirement from Puppy development. It is the natural progression of
Slacko 5.6 with the added features introduced to woof-CE." More links for readers to follow can be found on Barry Kauler's blog. Download: slacko-5.7-NO-pae.iso (161MB, MD5), slacko-5.7.0-PAE.iso (162MB, MD5).
