Puppy linux is fast and running; now, what we need is learning how to use
Skype, amsn or any other good instant messenger along with PUPPY LINUX and get a webcam installed. If Puppy linux ever learns how to detect webcams fast and have a preinstalled instant messenger that works well, we are going to happily bark forever after.

I have been playing with the writeback liveCD Puppy Linux 1.04. Its pretty easy to use, and while pushing it a bit it can be downloaded by those on dialup. It has support for Lucent LT winmodems and some other brand of winmodem, which is good because the only computer availible to me at the moment has the lucent modem. It doesn’t quite replace a full distro, but it does allow doing the usual tasks. I have not tried to set up printing for the lexmark Z705 on this box, so I don’t know how well that works.

I love these mini-distros, too. Recently somebody hacked/defaced my blog. I took it off the network, booted into Damn Small Linux (DSL) from CD, mounted the hard drive and dumped my db and important files to a pen drive. I then formatted the hard drive and reinstalled the OS. Unfortunately, I have not had luck in getting Dell laptops to boot Puppy Linux or DSL from USB pen drives :(.
