thank you for cooperating

>>58106800
been using it since 2.00, if you know your shit you can make a really nice pupplet out of it and if you like messing with shit you can use most of the scripts for a custom lfs.

Do you mean sfs?
Do you think it worth trying to make a pupplet for android development?

>>58106800
It's a solution looking for a problem

I think it is meant to be used as a live distro.
I use it from time to time as it doesn't take up much disk space, so I might as well have the iso ready for when I need to fix a system or recover data or something like that.

>>58107049
no, custom linux from scratch with less packages and a simplier approach

Why don't you use any distro?

actually useful desu

Have a laptop from the late 90s with 64MB of RAM, and this is probably the only distro I could boot to a desktop. It took an eternity, and could really benefit from some swap space, but it worked.

I guess if you want to run Linux on a toaster, it's worth a shot. Never really used it outside of that use case.

Useful for certain things, like any lightweight distro.

For instance, I use the Windows lxss to run Lubuntu and connect with TightVNC.

Awesome use of a light weight distro like Puppy, Slack, or Lubuntu.

Aside from that, put them in a live usb rigged for permanent storage for a mobile computer.

Really useful. I used it on a 500 MHz PIII with 256mb of RAM in high school and it worked for writing essays and such.

>Portability.
I just need to carry the USB flash drive.
I can install it on a USB flash drive and be able to run my own custom OS, from any hardware that support USB booting.
Without having to modify/install anything on the host OS, and without carrying a laptop with me.

>Security
It's linux running from RAM, whatever malware "maybe" installed on the host it can't infect the flash drive.

>Customization
This maybe a little autistic but I can no longer browse the web without custom scripts/userstyles/addons

>Backup
Simply

dd bs=4M if=/dev/sdb of=/mnt/USBimage.bin/

>Restore point/point of return
This is a little bit specific to puppy.
At each shut down you're asked to save your session, and if you have multiple saves you're asked to choose which one.
These saves file doesn't effect the base system just things that have been added/modified.
So if you screw up just reboot and choose to not save anything and you're back to square one.
Kind of like a write filter.

i am sure you can accomplish many tasks on any of the puppy based distros, SlackO is a slackware based puppy and i think it may be slackware compatible enough that you can install some slackware packages, check to make sure first, and like slackware you may have to resolve your own dependencies
