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."

No comment has referenced the real neat part of Puppy Linux...it loads to RAM inherently.

My wife is 80 and she finds Puppy Linux does a better job than win2000 since the windows interrupts her activities with advice and control statements she doesn't understand.

Puppy is a clean desktop and cas run mozilla with ease providing her business needs, banking needs and e-mail as well as DVD play/CD play.

Neat as a pin!!!

Yup -- it loads to RAM and frees up the CD drive for other things. That's a nice touch.

I think Austrumi also does that.
