Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

So I wanted to register on th EasyOS forums and now I am asked

What is the name of the little guy who is the mascot of EasyOS and related distributions?

for reasons of security.
Well I tried "Spot" and I tried "BarryK" and then I ran out of ideas. Googling and searching here gave me nothing but a headache.

Could somebody be so kind to tell me?
Or if registration is not favored at the moment just let me know?

regards
H.

There is an EasyOS section on this forums site. Just thought I'd let you know.

"Puppy"

The security question is deliberately a bit evasive, does not name the "Puppy Linux" distro as that would be too much of a hint for the spammers. I was getting spammers, so had to modify the question -- I think that I had "little dog" before, changed it to "little guy".

Thanks.

Not that I am the first, seven month ago.....

Here's the EasyOS section of the Puppy forums. I think BarryK visits these here and there.

there is a lot of misinformation in that quote

The EasyOS site has a lot of technical information:

A comment about "Puppy":
Puppy has been the mascot for Puppy Linux and derivatives since the beginning, circa 2003.
Just about everybody who has an interest in Puppy and derivatives would know about the mascot.

And if you don't, well, just ask. The above URL has a "Contact me" button, or ask on this forum.

Also, that reddit post reproduced above is nonsense.

Yes, I am more likely to see a post if it is posted in the EasyOS thread.

Also, EasyOS has a dedicated forum, with a small but very enthusiastic band of users:

This is "Puppy". Puppy is our mascot and the secret default password / security question guardian.
Because I believe Puppy had the heart of a Lion, I like to share the photo.
