Download Sites

Download from the Puppy Linux Distro Collection.

Puppy Linux variants since version 2 are hosted at Ibiblio.

Ibiblio also hosts the Puppy Linux specific packages (.pet) used to build a system as well as squashfs files (sfs) with kernels, kernel sources, large applications and application frameworks.

The Ibiblio Puppy Linux directory is mirrored by several sites world-wide.

The NLUUG and the UoC mirrors in Europe and the AARNET and the Internode mirrors in Australia are known to update regularly and are usually faster than Ibiblio. UMBC/LUG is a new mirror in the USA.

Mirrors may take up to a day to incorporate changes in Ibiblio.
