Welcome to the (new n' unofficial, organized, sleek and polished) Puppy Wiki!

This wiki contains articles written by Puppy users, for Puppy users, in attempt to provide accurate, simple and effective documentation for Puppy Linux. The wiki is generously hosted by Dejan, the great mind behind puppy.b0x.me, and a good guy in general.

All articles are written in simple English, with a minimal amount of technical vocabulary and many explanations. They contain screenshots, with beautiful () pointing arrows and red circles around important items. Terms appear in bold text, some defintions appear in italics and so on.

Basically, this wiki tries to cover all important topics concerning the daily, basic usage of Puppy Linux, and provides material for people who wish to expand their knowledge about Puppy and Linux in general to more advanced areas, such as compiling sources and messing with the console.

All articles are written through Puppy Linux itself, for maximum accuracy, using SeaMonkey, AbiWord and mtPaint.
