As an IT support guy, I find a USB-installed iteration of Puppy invaluable for system recovery efforts. It even works with the Lenovos, which usually won’t go online w/o the Lenovo-specific drivers installed; Frisbee detected all networks — wired and otherwise — and got the machine online when running from Trinity Rescue CD and Mint couldn’t.

It detected all partitions on the damaged drive I had to salvage the other day, easily mounted external USB-based drives and provided easy Copy/Move tools with clear “Couldn’t Copy FileXX” output.

The interface isn’t great, although I find the Precise prettier than the Slacko Puppy, so I doubt I’d want to work from Puppy long-term, but as a system rescue option, it’s vaulted to the first tool I reach for.

hi Rob Zwetsloot,

“the new Precise version just does not seem as good. With some missing or broken features”

can you tell me what features are broken or missing? so i can raise the issues on the puppy linux forum.

thanks
