In this instance, I will be installing Fedora Games Spin on a Virtual Server as a Virtual Client. The installation will be the same as if you were installing it directly to a hard disk. If you intend to install it directly to a hard drive then skip over the setup of the Virtual Client.

Puppy Linux is an operating system and family of light-weight Linux distributions that focus on ease of use^[4] and minimal memory footprint. The entire system can be run from random-access memory with current versions generally taking up about 210 MB,^[5] allowing the boot medium to be removed after the operating system has started. Applications such as AbiWord, Gnumeric and MPlayer are included, along with a choice of lightweight web browsers and a utility for downloading other packages. The distribution was originally developed by Barry Kauler and other members of the community, until Kauler retired in 2013.^[6] The tool Woof can build a Puppy Linux distribution from the binary packages of other Linux distributions.^[7]

1History

History[edit]

Barry Kauler started Puppy Linux in response to a trend of other distributions becoming stricter on system requirements over time. His own distribution, with an emphasis on speed and efficiency and being lightweight, started from 'Boot disk HOWTO' and gradually included components file-by-file until Puppy Linux was completed.^[8]^{[clarification needed]} Puppy Linux started as Vector Linux based until it became a fully independent distribution.^[9]

Puppy 0 is the initial release of Puppy Linux. It has no unionfs, extreme minimal persistence support, and has no package manager or ability to install applications.^[10]

Puppy 1 series will run comfortably on very dated hardware, such as a Pentium computer with at least 32 MB RAM. For newer systems, the USB keydrive version might be better (although if USB device booting is not directly supported in the BIOS, the Puppy floppy boot disk can be used to kick-start it). It is possible to run Puppy Linux with Windows 9x/Windows Me. It is also possible, if the BIOS does not support booting from USB drive, to boot from the CD and keep user state on a USB keydrive; this will be saved on shutdown and read from the USB device on bootup.^[11]^[12]

Puppy 2 uses the Mozilla-based SeaMonkey as its Internet suite (primarily a web browser and e-mail client).^[13]

Puppy 3 features Slackware 12 compatibility.^[14] This is accomplished by the inclusion of almost all the dependencies needed for the installation of Slackware packages. However, Puppy Linux is not a Slackware-based distribution.^[15]^[16]

Puppy 4 is built from scratch using the T2 SDE^[17] and no longer features native Slackware 12 compatibility^[18] in order to reduce the size and include newer package versions than those found in 3. To compensate for this, an optional 'compatibility collection' of packages was created that restores some of the lost compatibility.^[18]^[19]^[20]^[21]

Puppy 4.2 features changes to the user interface and backend, upgraded packages, language and character support, new in-house software and optimizations, while still keeping the ISO image size under 100 MB.^[22]

Puppy 5 is based on a project called Woof^[23] which is designed to assemble a Puppy Linux distribution from the packages of other Linux distributions. Woof includes some binaries and software derived from Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, T2 SDE, or Arch repositories. Puppy 5 came with a stripped down version of the Midori browser to be used for reading help files and a choice of web browsers to be installed, including Chromium, Firefox, SeaMonkey Internet Suite, Iron and Opera.^[24]^[25]^[26]^[27]^[28]^[29]^[30]^[31]^[32]^[33]^[34]^[35]

Puppy 6 is built from Ubuntu 14.04 'Trusty Tahr' packages, has binary compatibility with Ubuntu 14.04 and access to the Ubuntu package repositories. Tahrpup is 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 built from the latest testing branch, incorporates all the latest woof-CE features and is released in PAE and noPAE ISOs, with the option to switch kernels.^[36]

Puppy 7 is built from Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus packages, has binary compatibility with Ubuntu 16.04 and access to the Ubuntu package repositories. Tahrpup is built from the woof-CE build system, forked from Barry Kauler's Woof. It is built from the latest testing branch, incorporates all the latest woof-CE features and is released in PAE and noPAE ISOs, with the option to switch kernels. It has a new UI, a new kernel update for greater hardware compatibility, redesign Puppy Package Manager, some bugfixes and base packages inclusion into the woof structure.^[37]

Puppy 8 is built from Ubuntu Bionic Beaver 18.04.2 packages, has binary compatibility with Ubuntu 18.04.2 and access to the Ubuntu package repositories. BionicPup is built from the woof-CE build system, forked from Barry Kauler's Woof. It is built from the latest testing branch, and incorporates all the latest woof-CE features.^[38]
