Plus the entire community around this flavor of Linux is kind and helpful.

I highly recommend it! Mon, 15 Jan 2007 01:09:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (RedIcculus) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?201782 http://osnews.com/thread?201782 Fluxbuntu is also very nice. The advantage of Fluxbuntu is that it is much more expandable. DSL isn't really Debian, and trying to use apt-get to install the less usual Debian packages often doesn't work. So you get restricted to DSL ports. Puppy is a one-off and again restricted in packages.

Not knocking either one, they are great examples of Open Source initiative at its best - DSL is amazingly fast, and Puppy manages to look great, be user friendly, and run on low end hardware as well.

, to create the actual binary package that are then further post-processed. Although that alone is pretty cool it also offers the opportunity to rebuild Puppy Linux for other architectures and custom needs. Mon, 15 Jan 2007 10:48:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (rener) Comments
