Official Variants
Because of the relative ease with which the tool Woof and the remaster tool can be used to build variants of Puppy Linux, there are many variants available. Variants of Puppy Linux are known as puplets.
After Barry Kauler reduced his involvement with the Puppy Project, he designed two new distributions within the same Puppy Linux family, Quirky and Wary.
- Quirky
- An embedded distro inside the kernel. All files required are inside the kernel. It has simple module loading management but fewer drivers are included.
- Racy
- A variant of Wary optimized for newer PCs.
- Wary
- A Puppy variant targeted at users with old hardware. It uses an older, but long-term support, Linux kernel and the newest applications.
