Puppy Linux

I have a 1 GB USB drive which I use to exchange data(music,videos) with my friends.lately I have had to format my hard disk because of virus problems.The virus had obviously got through the data exchange.

Now i had an issue..Data exchange ..that had to happen..but how do I prevent viruses from getting into my PC?

The solution and a very good one is to use Linux for the data exchange.The viruses which are mostly written for windows are not able to impact the PC when you exchange the data through Linux.

Now what if you want to use Linux just for the data exchange and dont want to install it on your PC.

That would call for an OS which runs either from a CD or from a USB.

I tried some which ran from the CD.Such CDs are called live CDs.But they are very slow.

I wanted something fast and puppy linux provided the answer.

Puppy linux loads into the RAM and then the CD can be removed.All the subsequent calls are from the RAM and so the speed is great.

Thus puppy linux provides for fast and virus free data exchange.

Thanks puppy !!!!
