Puppy Linux is a GNU Linux-based operating system that has evolved to meet users' needs.
If you're a Linux command-line geek, OneBone is definitely a play-thing you should check out. It was created at the request of a few forum users, and it's not for the average user. However, if you're looking for a Linux distribution that focuses solely on command-line applications, OneBone could be just what you need.
OneBone comes without any X GUI applications, but it does include a few command-line apps like Elinks web browser, Ytree file manager, and MP text editor. The distribution also comes with the Lucent and SmartLink modem drivers built-in.
There are plenty of text-mode applications available for OneBone, and it serves as an exciting base that could be used to create a new, custom flavor of Puppy Linux. Puppy Linux is an evolutionary operating system that's based on GNU Linux. What makes Puppy unique is that it's tiny in size but full-featured.
Puppy Linux can boot into a 64MB ramdisk, which means that the whole OS runs in RAM. Unlike live CD distributions that need to keep pulling information from the CD, Puppy Linux is entirely loaded into RAM. As a result, all applications start instantly and respond to user input without any delays.
One of the best things about Puppy Linux is that it can boot from a variety of devices, such as flash cards, USB memory devices, CDs, Zip disks, floppy disks, and even internal hard drives. If you're a fan of command-line applications, OneBone and Puppy Linux are definitely worth a look.
