=Official versions= Most official versions are created from start to finish by Barry Kauler.

BrowserLinux
BrowserLinux is a fast and small (69 Mb!) linux distribution based on Puppy Linux for surfing the web.

Wireless works on Asus Eee PC. See browserlinux.com.

DCL

Ecopup
Ecopup will be a puppy based distro for recycling projects and "community computing". It was developed for use in a community centre that recycles computers as well as provides a free cybercafe. As such ecopup does not save history by default, and is designed to be instantly recognizable to people who are used to windows systems (note the blue "E" on the desktop!).

Aims:-

1. To have a large variety of applications that will be required by most non-technical computer users in a low income home environment.

2. To be intuitive and familiar to those with existing windows experience.

3. To be able to be installed extremely simply on donated hardware, in under ten minutes, perminantly removing all traces of the previous windows operating system. This is make it economically viable to refurbish older p.c.'s and sell them at a price point affordable to low income families and individuals.

4. To be natively compatible with as much hardware as possible, *without* additional setup time or training (i.e. autodetect).
