 Amazing! June 20, 2009
Erol Esen (Webster, NY United States)
Puppy Linux is an amazing OS and literally breaths life to old machines (now using Pentium III Sony VAIO) making them look like digital Benjamin Buttons.
I know this is a review of the Puppy and not the book, but it's the only book for the Puppy in Amazon and I had to channel my amazement.
Everything worked the first time and fast! (128MB RAM + 20GB HD @~700MHz) Including my wireless network card. It's fast enough to not think of your other faster up-to-date machine. Unless, of course, you're playing with the state-of-the-art games that drive new hardware ever faster.
All the productivity tools are there (office, browser, imaging, etc.) But I wanted to do some coding too. Python wasn't installed automatically. What would it take to install Python? I brought up a console and started using apt-get. No apt-get? Uh-oh. Before I wanted to throw away the Puppy onto the pile of Linux release CDs, I spent a moment googling how to do this. The answer came up almost right away: pinoyblender dot com
There, in the pinoyblender website, were files with ".pet" extensions. Click on one of them in the Seamonkey web browser software and the installation begins seamlessly and ends without much user interaction. Good puppy.
