Puppy Linux 5.7 "Slacko" 发布，非常小的Linux发行能从64M的存储设备启动
Puppy Linux是另外一种Linux发行。它的不同之处在于，Puppy是格外的小，然而又充满了特性。Puppy能从64M的存储设备启动，并且，整套系统都能在内存中运行。有很多自启动运行光盘的Linux发行，它们需要不停地从光盘读取数据才能运行，Puppy与它们不一样，Puppy整个装载在内存中。这意味着，所有的应用程序一眨眼的功夫就能启动，并且立即对用户的输入作出响应。Puppy Linux能从flash卡或者是任何的USB存储设备启动（这是flash-Puppy），或者光盘（这是live-Puppy），或者Zip disk及LS/120/240 Superdisk（这是zippy-Puppy），或者软盘（这是floppy-Puppy），或者硬盘（这是hard-Puppy）。它甚至可以使用一张多区段烧录的CD-R/DVD-R以将所有内容保存回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.
