Linux As far as I am aware, this is a world first, a live-CD that saves back to the CD at the end of the session. So how does it work? "Boot the PC with the multi-session CD inserted in the CD-burner drive -- thus, Puppy automatically knows which drive is the CD-burner, in case you have more than one CD/DVD drive. Then you use Puppy in the normal way. At shutdown, all the changed files in your home directory are saved back to CD. That's it. Next time you boot, all the personal files are restored."

Puppy doesn't use cramfs any more, now uses squashfs.

Puppy has the spreadsheet program Planmaker Free Edition. If is highly Excel compatible, but has a limitation on number of cells that can be edited.
Going to the Siag spreadsheet would probably be a big step down, but you could easily make up a package for Puppy Unleashed and build your own custom live-CD. Unleashed also has ABS, another spreadsheet app.
