Introduction
PuppyLinux is a small Linux distribution intended to be fully featured. Started by Barry Kauler, it has stated goals of installing easily to most common storage media; fitting entirely into 128 MB of RAM when booted from CD; minimizing writes when booted from a USB device; having a user-friendly interface; booting and executing quickly; containing many common types of familiar software. These goals are intended to allow PuppyLinux to run well on older PCs, as well as on smaller modern PCs.

OLPC Application Development Environment
Application developers who do not have an OLPC may wish to try Puppy to build a system that is roughly similar to the OLPC, especially in its limitations. Here is a page describing how Puppy was adapted to a NTAVO thin client system.
Now all that remains is for someone to document how to install Sugar on PuppyLinux.
There is an active PuppyLinux forum about the OLPC here. Forum members have adapted Puppy to run on other low memory systems.
