Puppy Linux 3.01 Review

| Short of the issues I had with WPA, overall, the hardware detection was rock
| solid, and I'm impressed. If you have never tried Puppy Linux, I would
| encourage you to give it a go. You may even find that running it from a Live
| CD or a USB drive is enough to best meet your needs. Because it is such a
| light distro, all you really need is a persistent directory for settings
| anyway.

| fun. The friendly interface, easy-to-use wizards and bundled how-to's are

Taking Puppy Linux for a Walk

| The two main uses for Puppy Linux (or any Linux live CD) are to:
|
| Â* Â* * Rescue files from the host PC's hosed hard drive or perform various
| Â* Â* maintenance tasks (like imaging that drive)
| Â* Â* * Compute on a machine without leaving a trace—like browser history,
| Â* Â* cookies, documents or any other files—behind on the internal hard drive

Damn Small's ISO is only 50 megabytes, with an additional
1.4 MB for the bootfloppy if one needs it. Puppy Linux
is almost twice that size.

Well, if you only have such useless gripes to air,
then you should have order the CD from a CD distributer.
