Interesting Stuff from BarryK

Long ago and far away BarryK developed PuppyLinux. These days he's involved in some interesting and innovative things. Here's something I read today. Enjoy (if you haven't already seen it.)

I burned a copy of EasyOS and keep it handy. Don't think it will replace MX anytime soon.

I remember running puppylinux on a Pentium based PC more than 10 years ago. It was so easy to use, that I didn't learn anything Linux related!

I wondered if there might not be some interesting concepts employable on antiX.

I Really haven't used it enough to see what is what with it. So will report back after I've had time to play with it awhile.
