An Introduction to Puppy Linux

Give a reincarnation to your old computer, like Pentium 2 & 3, in your store room or junk yard by installing Puppy Linux. It requires very less RAM, Processor and HDD usage. This operating system has all the essential features that a modern OS requires, e.g., Mozilla's gecko based web browser, Gxine Media Player, Attym Chat, AbiWord, Gnumeric, and lots of other things.

Simply visit: http://www.puppylinux.com/ and follow the instructions for downloading and installing.

You can also try this OS by installing Virtual Box or VMPlayer on your Windows machine. Download VirtualBox: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads here.

@nooloo3000 of course

[DavidJasonSoto]

can you run facebook apps smoothly and how about printers??

[znpower]

@DavidJasonSoto printers & scanners works perfectly. I don't know about facebook applications... however, my twitter applications work perfectly.

[Ticomfreak]

does Chrome work on it?

[DaTronixxx]

Just installed 5.2 on a Acer TravelMate with 256 MB ram....so good when compared to the constant crashing/freezing when XP was on it!

I don't like the UI. Reminds me of windows. I'll stick with Ubuntu.

@nooloo3000 if the INTERNET comes with it, then there can be only ONE USER!!!

@poofacemom can you please explain "to limited?"

[MrDpsc]

if people think their puppy doesn't look good, go to puppy look (google) and download the icewm themes

then go to desktop and press wm switcher to switch from jwm to icewm

select a cool theme and you have a modern looking small os

(I use windows xp-vista theme) and download a background swapper and select a nice looking background

resolution dosen't look too good, but besides that, it looks cool. ^^
