Why ChemPup?

ChemPup is built from Puppy Linux 4.2.1 which is a very small, flexible, portable
and complete operating system. How is it so different and useful?

1. ChemPup loads its entire system into RAM memory.
Although this process takes slightly longer to boot (depending on hardware configurations) it ultimately runs very fast on even low-spec (old) computers.

2. You don't ever have to install ChemPup on any computer.
That's right! No Installation Required. Simply boot from the ChemPup CD or USB flashdrive.
See the ChemPup Quick-Start Guide for more information.

3. You may install ChemPup to a hard-drive partition (advanced).
This can be done in two ways, "full" or "frugal" installation options. A "frugal" install is recommended as it may be installed on a NTFS formatted hard-drive along side MS Windows. This does require some additional working knowledge and the user is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to consult the www.puppylinux.org documentation before considering this option. The only significant advantage is that the CD or DVD is no longer needed at boot-up if ChemPup has been installed.


How Can I Support Open-Source Software?
Donations may be made via PayPal and will help support continued development all the way down the line.  See Chip-In! to learn how the proceeds flow.  CDs, DVDs, USBs, and geeky Tees are available and further support the linux community.
