Woof is a software application used to build a Puppy Linux distribution from another Linux distribution.[3][4][5] This application must be run inside Puppy Linux, and an internet connection is required in order to download the other Linux distro's binary packages.[6]

The CD-Remaster program available in Puppy Linux can be used to build variants of the Puppy Linux distribution.[7]

In 2013, Woof was forked to Woof-CE, which uses a git version control system hosted on GitHub.[8]
