If you didnt know already, Puppy Linux is the fastest mini linux distro in the world that is fully functional. This works with most hardware and does all the basic tasks that we do on computers. This was created by Barry Kauler.

I have been enjoying Puppy linux for the last year or so. Lately I started experimenting with creating a remastered version of Puppy Linux. Doing this is very easy in Puppy Linux as tools are already in place. Based on some requests from the Puppy Forum, I started working on a version called Macpup 2.17.1. This was based on Puppy version 2.17.1. The intent was to create a beautiful looking Puppy version using the Icewm Window manager and Wbar (dockbar application). This was released only in the Puppy community and there was good response.

After the release of the latest Puppy Linux (version 4.00), there were multiple requests to create a Macpup based on this. Thus, I created the version called Macpup Dingo. This came out much better than the previous version in that there was much learning from the forum. This time, the wbar had a background that made it look much better. This background also gives it a 3-D effect. This is the result of various contributions from the Puppy community:

• Puppy 4.00 - Barry Kauler
• icewm package - created by ttuuxxx
• grub backgrounds - created by CatDude

Wbar and the icewm theme were external packages.
