These are extraordinary goals, yet Puppy comes close to achieving them all. The fundamental reason is that Puppy has been built from scratch, file-by-file, and is not based on any other Linux distribution. One of the most amazing features of Puppy is the range of powerful applications yet such tiny size ...and the speed.
Puppy really is small, the live-CD typically being 85MB, yet there really is a complete set of GUI applications. Being so small, Puppy usually loads completely into RAM, which accounts for the incredible speed.
The latest version is based on a project called woof are are assembled using derived bianaries and softwares from Ubuntu, Debin, Slackware, T2 SDE, or Arch repositories. Keeping the technical details apart, this particular OS will boot quickly and works pretty well on Netbooks.
