Welcome to the Untrammelled website

Posted 13 December, 2007 - 14:32 by Chris Lale

This website is mostly about Free software and the things I do with it. Free software is software with freedoms (to run, adapt, improve, copy and redistribute) and is often zero-cost. It is often more reliable, more up-to-date and more bug-free than non-Free software. This website has been built using Free software (Drupal). Like the majority of the world's websites it is hosted using Free software (Apache). If you wish, you can view it with a Free web browser (eg Firefox) and run your computer with a Free operating system eg Debian GNU/Linux or Puppy GNU/Linux (which can even run directly from a 128MB USB stick).

A look at Puppy GNU/Linux

I'm having a closer look at Puppy GNU/Linux. It's small (just over 90MB), lightweight and can be installed on almost anything. It is particularly suited to booting from and running on a USB memory stick because it reduces the number of writes to a minimum. This extends the working life of the USB stick.
