====""Alpha OS""====
~**Alpha OS** is a distribution built using packages from Arch Linux, with custom compiled kernel for [[aufs]] support, udev and very minimal number of other packages with goal of preserving full support for [[pacman]] package manager.
~Alpha OS is minimal and uses a [[Frugal]] install but otherwise different to traditional Puppies. Default window manager and filer are [[openbox]] and [[spacefm]].
~Project created by [[simargl]].

====""ArchPup""====
~**""ArchPup""** is a distribution built using packages from Arch Linux, with custom compiled kernel for [[aufs]] support, udev and very minimal number of other packages with goal of preserving full support for [[pacman]] package manager. This operating system is using Puppy Linux [[init]] boot system, has options for dynamic loading of additional [[sfs]] modules, making [[savefile personal file]] that allows saving your settings, but in every other aspect is much different than standard Puppy - it doesn't have [[PPM|Puppy package manager]] installed, not using [[JWM]] (included is [[openbox]]) or [[rox]] file manager (instead you have [[spacefm]]). Project created by [[simargl]].
