Yet another one of the gazillion [Linux] distros available. Remarkable for two reasons:

   * it is very small (48 Mb);
   * it is very fond of Tcl. About half of the bundled applications are written in Tcl/Tk.

It boots and runs off its installation CD, like [Knoppix]. Very easy to try.

[NEM]: There doesn't seem to be any mention of Tcl or Tk on the website. Is it just not advertised?

[LES]: I tried an old version, 0.8 I think. Many of the applications and scripts are Tcl/Tk. This version even has [specTcl] and [visual Tcl]. These were removed in the newest releases, but [snack] got in. Open the "news" page [http://www.goosee.com/puppy/news.htm] and look for "''20Jun04''". Also, check the developers' page [http://www.goosee.com/puppy/developer.htm] and look for "guiding philosophy". The author states: "''applications ... must be written in Tcl/Tk, C or C++''".
