Editing Puppy Linux (section)

==Official variants==
Because of the relative ease with which the Woof tool and the remaster tool can be used to build variants of Puppy Linux, there are many variants available.<ref name="Puppy5" /><ref>{{cite web|title=PuppyLinux: Puplets|url=http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Puplets|access-date=2010-08-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080324040020/http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Puplets|archive-date=2008-03-24}}</ref> Variants of Puppy Linux are known as ''puplets''.

After Barry Kauler reduced his involvement with the Puppy Project, he designed two new distributions within the same Puppy Linux family: Quirky and Wary.

'''Quirky''' – An embedded, less-stable distro with all files contained in an [[initramfs]] built into the kernel. It has simple module loading management but fewer drivers are included.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://bkhome.org/quirky/|title=Quirky|website=bkhome.org|access-date=24 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717142839/http://bkhome.org/quirky/|archive-date=17 July 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=quirky|title= Quirky|website= DistroWatch |access-date=24 March 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.linuxinsider.com/story/Quirky-Linux-Gets-More-Pep-Out-of-Puppy-79841.html|title=Quirky Linux Gets More Pep Out of Puppy |website= LinuxInsider |date=23 January 2014 |access-date=24 March 2019}}</ref> It is used for experimental purposes.

'''Racy''' – A variant of puppy optimized for newer PCs.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://puppylinux.org/main/New%20Racy%20Puppy.htm |title=Puppy Linux Community - Home |publisher= |website= Puppylinux.org |access-date=2012-04-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180216204406/http://puppylinux.org/main/New%20Racy%20Puppy.htm |archive-date= 2018-02-16 }}</ref>

'''Wary''' – A Puppy variant targeted at users with old hardware. It uses an older Linux kernel, which has long-term support and the newest applications.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://bkhome.org/wary/|title=Wary Puppy Linux|first=Barry|last=Kauler|work=bkhome.org|access-date=26 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101026053206/http://bkhome.org/wary/ |archive-date=26 October 2010}}</ref>

'''Easy''' – A puppy variant in which the init script is completely rewritten and which uses originally developed application containers aside the conventional package management.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://barryk.org/easy/how-easy-works.htm|title=How Easy Linux works|first=Barry|last=Kauler|work=barryk.org|access-date=21 March 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170321170007/http://barryk.org/easy/how-easy-works.htm|archive-date=21 March 2017}}</ref>
