A Puppy Linux for- thing, built using woof-CE. Built from Slackware.

Overall, I’m not impressed.

Since Puppy Linux uses systemd, I might presume this does too. However, Slacko is built from Slackware using Puppy’s build system.

2015-05-08 – “Simplicity over automation” fails this distro. While it’s easier for the developers, it’s a nightmare for documentation/tutorials and the user. I’d really hate having to deal with this philosophy.
