Puppy Linux On Windows Desktop

Puppy Linux is an interesting Linux distribution which offers multiple features, despite of its low file size (around 99 MB). An average computer user will find enough flexibility and an increased speed during the execution of common tasks like web browsing, text processing, image editing and more.

Puppy Linux integrates many simple to use applications useful for office related tasks, multimedia playback, gaming and networking. It has many installation options too.

If you are using an Windows XP operating system, Puppy Linux can be deployed directly from the desktop without the need to perform an installation with the help of PupWinQE, which is based on QEMU. Of course, there are also other alternatives to run Puppy Linux ISO from within Windows XP in a virtual machine with Sun xVM VirtualBox, MobaLiveCD or VMware player.

First, you will have to download and unzip PupWinQE into a folder on the hard drive. In the same folder the Puppy Linux ISO file must be copied. After you edit and save the Puppy.bat file in order to specify the exact name of the ISO file used, by double clicking it, in a few minutes (depending on the amount of free RAM available for QEMU) the Puppy Linux desktop will appear.

The installer integrated into Puppy Linux allows the creation of a Live USB or to perform a full installation of this distribution. The performances of Puppy Linux deployed alongside Windows XP can be increased with an accelerator (Kqemu-1.3.0pre11).
