Puppy Linux v1.0.9 emerges - [Linux News]

Puppy Linux v1.0.9 Community Edition has been released. I was a little disappointed by my trial run this evening since it looks like the Bluefish HTML editor was removed. I am looking forward to the upcoming release of Puppy 2, which is still in the alpha stages.

Puppy Linux is noteworthy because it can run from a DVD and save its settings back to the DVD. Puppy Linux is a great distro that is worth trying.

My favorite version of Puppy Linux is still PizzaPup, which can be found on the list of Puppy Linux sites page. It comes with Firefox instead of Mozilla, and uses the IceWM (windows manager) instead of JWM.
