Very Computer

My tiny Linux distro, called "Puppy" is available for
download, v0.1:

http://www.goosee.com/puppy

This version is experimental, not for newbies.

Puppy has a reasonable suite of X apps and runs entirely
in a 48M ramdisk, which means that everything happens in
the blink of an eye.
Puppy himself is under 20M.

Experimenters wanted, to get Puppy to boot off different
media. First take on it is I have Puppy booting off a
USB flash card.
Possibilies are CDROM, Zip, LS120/240, hard drive...

Also, I have set Puppy up for ppp modem dialup a to an ISP
via conventional analog telephone line, and haven't
considered a LAN, which some people will have.
Experimenters interested in configuring Puppy for a LAN
also welcome.

I may also need a download mirror site!

Regards,
Barry Kauler

I'll bring out a CDROM version in a couple of days.
I've tried it, it works, and boots remarkable fast,
but I have to think through a few structural details...
