PuppyOS is another name for Puppy Linux, also known simply as Puppy. Those three names are what the author, Barry Kauler, refers to on the bottom of his Puppy home page∞.
In the July 15, 2006 meeting, it was suggested that potential users tend to shy away from any particular OS if they hear the word "Linux". Hence, using PuppyOS to refer to Puppy Linux may be helpful to users in general.
However, Barry Kauler, creator of Puppy GNU/Linux, has been using the term PuppyOS for months already, such as in his new sites http://puppyos.com∞ and http://puppyos.net∞ . - RaffyM July 21, 2006
