The operating system I chose for the MykroSystem is Puppy Linux. http://www.puppylinux.com

Download Puppy Linux here: http://puppylinux.com/download/downpage.htm

Puppy Linux is a small but full featured operating system. It is written and managed by Barry Kauler and his goals for the operating system are as follows:

  • Easily install to USB, Zip or hard drive media.
  • Booting from CD (or DVD), the CD drive is then free for other purposes.
  • Booting from CD (or DVD), save everything back to the CD.
  • Booting from USB Flash drive, minimise writes to extend the life indefinitely.
  • Extremely friendly for Linux newbies.
  • Boot up and run extraordinarily fast.
  • Have all the applications needed for daily use.
  • Will just work, no hassles.
  • Will breathe new life into old PCs
  • Load and run totally in RAM for diskless thin stations

    • These goals line up perfectly with the MykroSystem requirements. This is the place to start. Download Puppy Linux and get it to boot up from a USB drive.

    There is plenty of instruction and support on the Puppy Linux site and Forum - so I won’t reproduce that information here.
