"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."

It's small, fast, reliable, well-integrated, and comes with help videos and other useful documentation to make things very easy for a newbie.
It also defaults to a nice Rox/JWM desktop that I find very comfortable as a former OS/2 user. I like having lots of folders with icons that support drag-and-drop.
All in all, it's the best LiveCD I've used to date, at least in the context I use it (older boxes). Not bad for a distro that'll fit on a MiniCD with room to spare. :-)

Is there anything that this distro offers that hasn't been covered many times before?
