TigerPup is a Linux operating system that combines the technology of Compiz-Fusion and Puppy 3.01 to offer users a new and innovative distribution. This software delivers a sleek and customizable interface with advanced effects and user-friendly features.
TigerPup is a new Linux distro that is based on Compiz-Fusion and Puppy 3.01. As a point-and-click system, TigerPup has made it easy for users to navigate through the distro using a dockbar and different launchers on the panel. The availability of being able to use it from a USB-flash adds another level of convenience for users.
Puppy Linux, an evolutionary operating system based on GNU Linux, is significantly smaller, while still offering a lot of features that make it stand out. It's small enough to boot into a 64MB ramdisk where the entire operating system runs in RAM. This decreases load times significantly, and everything is ultra-responsive.
Puppy Linux can boot off different media such as a flash card or USB memory device, CDROM, floppy disks, internal hard drive, and LS/120/240 Superdisk. Puppy occupies around 50-60M on most USB storage media, making it easy to carry around.
When Puppy boots, everything uncompresses to a region in RAM that's commonly referred to as "ramdisk." The RAM size determines the size of files that Puppy keeps permanently in ramdisk hence more speed. A PC with 128M RAM is the recommended minimum, and if a swap partition exists, Puppy will automatically use it.
When booting from a USB flash device, Puppy copies all flash files to physical RAM to prevent unnecessary writes to the flash memory during a session. This greatly extends the lifespan of flash memory. If a swap partition exists, Puppy can copy any excess data to this partition. In some cases, you may need to have a swap partition to run Firefox or Mozilla on PCs with less than 64M RAM. For a PC with only 32M RAM, a swap partition is necessary to run most of the large GUI applications.
