   Whenever I get into the weeds reading about packaging and containers and   
   sandboxing and variations, I 'go back' and marvel a little at Barry   
   Kauler's strategy in the dev of EasyOS, which system he immersed himself   
   as he left Puppy's continuing dev to his followers.   
      
   In that world, I still like my frugal install of Bookworm Pup64 better   
   than what I can do w/ EasyOS, as I can adapt a Ventoy stick of multiple   
   live distro/s to launch the BWP64 frugal install whereas EasyOS is more   
   contrary re Ventoy implementation.
