The Puppy Linux Install Package (PET) is a compressed archive format developed by the Puppy Linux community for software distribution within their operating system. It is primarily used to install, update, and manage software applications and system utilities on Puppy Linux and its various derivatives. While the format itself is considered safe, users should verify package integrity through official repositories to prevent the execution of malicious scripts during the automated installation process.
