They filter what goes into Woof-CE, and thus Puppy Linux. Q: Seriously, who is in charge of Puppy Linux? Aren’t the Woof-CE stewards the people behind it?Ī: Consider these Woof-CE stewards as gatekeepers.

Secondly, “lack of organisation” and “presence of stewards” is not as contradicting as you think. Isn’t that an oxymoron?Ī: First, oxymoron is about a word, not an idea. Q: First you say Puppy Linux Team has no organisation. Like DebianDog and Quirky, however, it is considered as part of Puppy Linux family. It was originally forked from Puppy Linux 4.0, but it has since took a different path (of doing the same thing). Q: Is Fatdog64 considered as Puppy Linux?Ī: No.

Just like DebianDog, Quirky is a member of Puppy Linux family. Q: Is Quirky Linux considered as Puppy Linux? It is also made by Barry.Ī: No, Barry himself has stated multiple times that Quirky is not Puppy.

Q: If DebianDog is not Puppy, why do you support them, or even mention them here?Ī: DebianDog is considerd as a member of Puppy Linux family of operating systems. But it seeks to emulate most if not all of Puppy Linux features and behaviours that if you are familiar with Puppy you would be right at home about it. Further more it is not built from Woof-CE. Q: Is DebianDog considered as Puppy Linux?Ī: No. Q: Am I allowed to distribute my remasters?Ī: Not only allowed, you are encouraged to!Ībout other Puppy Linux-like distributions More extensive remasters exists that also changes/improves upon the base behaviour of Puppy itself. It is not an official Puppy, though.Ī: A remaster is Puppy Linux ISO that is built from an original ISO with changes applied, usually to add/remove some applications and preset some configurations. As long as the base you use for remaster is a Puppy, then the remaster itself is considered a Puppy. Q: Is my remaster considered a Puppy? It is not built from Woof-CEĪ: Yes. But going forward, only those created from Woof-CE is considered as Puppy. All puppies from 0.x to 5.x are Puppies if they are either made by Barry, endorsed by Barry, or built from Woof. So are they really official Puppies?Ī: Yes, obviously. Q: Puppy Linux earlier than 6.x was not build from Woof-CE (Woof-CE didn’t exist then). For something in between use the latest puppy that is compatible with a “good old” distro (usually Slackware). If you are the DIY type use the latest puppy build exclusively from self-compiled packages (usually T2 or LFS). If you want the widest possible selection of applications use the latest puppy that is binary-compatible with a well stock distro (usually Ubuntu or Debian). It likely has more features and less problems. Tell me where to start at least.Ī: Start with the latest Puppy. If you still don’t like it, try one of the CE versions, or try the puplets. If you don’t like it, you can try another one.

The famous puppy OOB functionality, ease of use, efficiency and speed.
