Puppy hasn't got as much software as ubuntu - and therefore there's
likely to be less security updates. But i wouldn't trust it to be secure
if it never gets updated at all. However, depending on how you managed
security risks, that might not matter. E.g., if you don't ever expose an
open ssh port to the internet, you may not need to worry about how
secure ssh is. Etc.
