  • Puppy Linux is a family of Linux distributions designed for home-user computers, created by Barry Kauler in 2003.
  • It consists of multiple distributions built on shared principles, tools, and Puppy-specific applications for consistent behavior.
  • Key features include being ready to use, small size (typically 1.5GB or less), fast, versatile, and customizable within minutes.
  • Puppy Linux offers different varieties to suit various needs.
  • Downloads are available from the Puppy Linux Distro Collection, with versions since Puppy 2 hosted at Ibiblio.
  • Ibiblio also hosts Puppy Linux-specific packages (.pet) and squashfs files (sfs) for kernels, sources, and large applications.
  • The Ibiblio directory is mirrored globally, with NLUUG and UoC in Europe, and AARNET and Internode in Australia being notable mirrors.
  • Mirrors may take up to a day to reflect changes from Ibiblio.
