Subject description: Full-featured 105 MB puplet with Openbox, tint2 and wbar
Introduction
Guy Dog is a minimalistic, elegant, innovative and full-featured puplet based on dpup. Its main goal is to be a modern battle machine that can compete with the official line of Puppy releases in speed, size and features: all three at once.
Its desktop is based on the wonderful combination of Openbox, tint2 and wbar, which conquered the hearts of many minimalistic desktop lovers and eventually spawned a new generation of lightweight distributions, most notably ArchBang and CrunchBang. Guy Dog joins this party.
Guy Dog was born out of frustration with Puppy’s growing size, decreasing functionality (e.g a browser, Xorg_High) and the lack of innovation in the never-ending battle against size. It rose from a solid infrastructure that automates the process used to build it, which means development is extremely easy and requires zero effort.
It is the direct descendant of Next Puppy and follows the footsteps of Puppy Squeeze, Squeezed Puppy and Dpup Exprimo, while combining the one-application-per-task philosophy pioneered by Zenwalk with the KISS principle followed by Arch Linux and Slackware.
It’s main features are:
- Completeness: Guy Dog ships with all applications a major distribution ships with, including a web browser.
- Small size: about 105 MB.
- Great speed.
- Rock-solid stability.
- Elegant and minimalistic looks.
- Built automatically, with strict quality control and optimization.
If you wonder what the name means, it's a pun on the term “guide dog": Guy Dog tries lead the way and show “blind” developers that is it is possible to build a puplet smaller than Puppy 4.x that has at least the same features as Puppy 5.x, include functionality sacrificed for on the Altar of Size (again, the best examples for this are a browser and Xorg_High).
Included Software
At this small size, you’d probably expect Guy Dog to be either totally outdated or missing important functionality. Prepare to be surprised.
Believe it or not, Guy Dog comes with all the functionality offered by official Puppy releases, at a much smaller size. It even has many extras, on top of the “standard” stack. All its applications, as mentioned previously, were built automatically using an in-house tool called “Builder”.
Here’s the full list of included software:
- Linux kernel 2.6.39.4, patched with the BFS scheduler
