Legacy OS (previously: TEENpup Linux) – a Linux distribution based on Puppy Linux and targeted to old computers.

With over 200 menu choices for users to choose from Legacy OS 2.1 LTS brings together a collection of extremely useful applications that could make a Pentium III PC far more useful then a user could imagine. The live iso features browser plugins and media codecs pre-installed as well.

Legacy OS is available in 3 flavors :
– Legacy OS wit full set of applications
– Legacy OS Gamer with a set of legacy, native Linux gamers
– Legacy OS Mini

The distribution developer is John Van Gaans.

Legacy Os-02 is out and it has almost everything one needs.

This in 2011 use not in 2023

It has

1. Scribus

2. Gambase

3. Qhacc

4. Gnumeric

5. Gparted

6. Installer

7. Opera

8. Geany, 

9. Kate

10. Iso Manager

12. Skype

13. Bluefish Web Page Creator/Editor

14. Bit torrents

15. Print management

16. Above all and Games

16. Abiword

and many more

For my curiosity only thing I miss is MySql PhP MyAdmin Graphic front

My question is why it is not within the 100 in Distrowatch.

It can be installed and like TEENPup it has graphic buttons on the right unlike MacOS which prevents clutter.

Go and download and bring it above 100 in distrowatch.

In my case I like Puppy it is in my top 10 distributions.

Only downside was it took three attempts to download and it broke twice due to poor Telecom in Sri-lanka.

I hope it leaves a torrent file in Linuxtracker for poor souls in the Third World!

Unlike Puppy it took little more time to boot up the internet had to be configured after booting.

It is like any other CD distribution and unlike others it is compact.

Reason for slow boot up is that it has more packages than many CD distributions.

Only Knoppix can compete with it.

Thanks a lot for the hard work of guys and girls of Legacy OS.

Like Puppy it is coming from Australia and they all are Dog Lovers.

Now it (Legacy) is just below Linpus but with my recommendation and trend Linpus Linux will rise like a rocket.
Legacy should take few hints from Linpus and Knoppix to stay with modern trends.
