I was enthusiast reading in Distrowatch an announcement about a new Puppy parent a few days ago.
It seems to be one of those needing an own dedicated partition
I did loose a lot of good work in such dedicated partitions. why? you can of course create and fill 2, 3 .. 5 or more dedicated partitions but nothing help you to manage the data build using the OS and app's of the partition. you don't use it intensively but end using it a little quantity of top works being hidden in the not transparent hierarchy of Linux (/home/I or /root, that is the question). a lot of weeks later, you clean the hard disk and erase the partition... including all content!
for this reason, I never will any more some OS, Linux or other possible OS, dedicating (in subdir) hidden management of data.
in my opinion is Puppy a volatile form of Linux: You need no hardware or hardware dependent organisation: Puppy has to be in RAM and only there. Only in poor PCs it can be that Puppy works as system with overlays searching them on an harddisk or some external mass drive...
slacko did always cause screen problems (ovals instead rounds)
the three most optimized Puppy's were:
- Quirky (I am a quirky fan since the creation of the line!)
- DebianDog
- LazY Unicorn 32 bit
sorry but there is no LazY 64 bit at all... this excludes LazY in the future from 64 bit territory

DebianDog is perfect and extremely economic: only fill your root dir with dotsquashfs files and it grows fully automatic (in LazY, you have to complete divers utilities needing to work correctly, no problem, but it can occupy you for nothing: only that it works...
Quirky without conventional ISO to be used without to install? Is that the solution?
