 Description: Yet another one of the gazillion [Linux] distros available.
        Remarkable for two reasons:
         * it is very small (48 Mb);
         * the creator 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.  Designed to fit on a business card size CD
        and easy to install to a USB pen drive of Zip disk.
        Currently at version 0.0 .

[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++''".
