Linux "Puppy Linux is a small Linux live CD distribution that can boot from a CD, DVD, or USB drive; a hard disk is optional. According to the Puppy Linux Web site, Puppy's goals include being Linux newbie-friendly, booting and running quickly, and including all the applications typical users need. The newest version is its most usable yet."

"What new problem does Puppy solve that isn't already solved by one of the several hundred various Linux distros that already have live options, are small, can boot from multiple sources, are friendly and include useful apps? What does it do differently?"

Innovation doesn't always revolve around the term "new". Puppy combines speed, variety of programs, very fast boot, and the ability to carry your OS with you (including all of your files) If you haven't tried a multi-session Puppy then your comment lacks credibility.
