    • Live Medium : Puppy Linux is mainly used as live medium. There is no need to install Puppy in your PC. Just create a bootable usb and use it as a live medium anywhere you want. There is also an option to save your work before you shut down the session. This way you can work anywhere and have your work saved along with you.
