Скачать бесплатно Puppy Linux 4.2 Deep Thought
Puppy Linux - чрезвычайно маленький дистрибутив, обладающий большими функциональными возможностями. В отличие от live CD дистрибутивов, которым необходимо использовать часть информации с CD, Puppy полностью загружается в оперативную память. Это означает, что все приложения запускаются мгновенно и без каких-либо задержек отвечают на запросы пользователя.
Puppy Linux имеет возможность загружаться с flash-карты или любого USB-накопителя (flash-Puppy), CDROM (live-Puppy), Zip-диска или LS/120/240 Superdisk (zippy-Puppy), дискет (floppy-Puppy), внутреннего жёсткого диска (hard-Puppy).

Where does the name come from?

"The real Puppy, the mascot for Puppy Linux, was a very tiny dog, a Chihuahua, but totally fearless. He didn't seem to know that he was vulnerable because of his small size. Once when my sister was visiting my country property, she brought her Blue Heeler, a very solid middle-sized dog named Muti. We were out walking, and suddenly there was a substantial rustling of branches of a large bush, something was in or behind the bush. Muti took fright and ran back behind the legs of my sister, whereas Puppy got into launch position in front of the bush and barked furiously. It turned out to be my dad playing a trick on the dogs. Puppy used to chase kangaroos and other big wild animals. Anyway, Puppy Linux is like that, reckless, unshackled, in memory of the mascot" Barry Kauler.
