These days, its hard to work without the use of a computer. We are already dependent on the use of computer with almost every task that we made. Be it in writing some documents, a simple to complex gaming situations, to playing some digital audio and compact discs. The computer is very useful equipment that we have now. There are lots of good operating systems in the market. We have Macintosh, one of the most loved operating system that is widely used today. We have Microsoft Windows for all the masses. And we have Linux, a well-develop free operating system that we can use in almost all possible uses as the two commercial operating system. Linux is just a dream, and now that the open-source market is almost dominating the market. Linux is now a solid built and can now be use as an alternative for the two commercial operating systems. Linux can now compete head-to-head with the commercial software. With the hundred of developers spending time to develop every single applicat ion for the Linux environment, we are rest assured that it is closing in to the rock solid foundation of its own built.

I am now using Puppy Linux for more than 3 Years now. And the last built 5.2.8 is the best operating system Barry Kauler has developed at the 3 years span. Its the most ambitious edition of the Puppy Linux operating system. It looks like a Windows7 environment. The good thing with this software is its still a FREE operating system. Old units of computers such as Pentium II up to Pentium 4 will be degraded if we try to install Windows7. Good thing now is we have Puppy Linux that will not eat up every single resource your old computer has. Puppy Linux is a very light operating system that will make your old computer breath a new life again. Let me tell you, people are upgrading their computer to cope with the latest operating system that Microsoft computer release on the market. However, we have a choice. Either you buy a new computer or just use the old computer and make it productive again. The choice is yours! But if you only use the computer for simple tasks such as creati ng a document, recording some sound files, watching some DVDs and playing your music collections. You might want to give it a chance and be more productive again in the next couple of years. And that is absolutely free. Thanks to Barry Kauler for his genius crafts.

All you have to do is download the installer from the site. And burn it to a blank CD-R. Presto! You dont need any extra hardware to do the job. Just insert it to the PC or laptop. You might alter some of the BIOS properties to make the CD drive the first to boot. If you are lucky enough it will just run without any confirmation codes. Just wait for the first time it has a longer time to boot. But when you save the files after the first boot it will be much faster the next time around. Its like magic that your old Pc will be more functional again without having to spend a single penny! And most of the tasks you do in windows or Macintosh are also possible in the Puppy Linux environment. Not only this, Puppy Linux is almost invulnerable to any intrusion of viruses and other malwares. Its really a great feature for this open-source ware. You dont have to worry again on PCs invaded by virus and other malware or spyware. And thats really a magic if you used to the usual scenario of virus related problems. All I can say, Puppy Linux is very handy applications that provide all the basic application that a user will be searching inside commercial software. You dont have to be a geek to use Linux, the interface is very intuitive. Even a first time user will be productive enough in the first sessions. Puppy Linux can also fit inside a USB dongle so you can carry it with you wherever you go, making it a pocket operating system. You dont have to alter the PC that you insert the USB dongle on, it works like a real magic. Windows and Macintosh have never developed such a light to the system OS. All they have to do is develop an OS so they can sell. This operating system is a great help for a third world countries as like the Philippines. Philippines is never exposed to such software, so the people are obliged to pay for the software they use or buy a pirated version. Pirated version is very rampant here in the Philippines but if only the people were given t he choice to use this open-source ware. It will be much more legal than using pirated propriety software with no legal complications. Free to use and distribute.

This is the beauty of open-source ware, and it will be giving your PC another year to be more productive again. It is updated nearly after every 6 months. Rather than using your obsolete software which is very susceptible to malwares and viruses, this software is much more secure than the previous one. It is right to give Barry Kauler the appreciation for this wonderful freeware. Please do download these freeware if you have those old PCs and give it a try. I assure you wont regret it!
