Puppy Linux is a very small linux distribution available for free download. The size of the download image is just a exiguous over 100 megabytes. As a comparison, I think all of my windows computers load up at about 20 to 35 gigabytes. I was intrigued with the understanding of having a distribution that I could run on any computer just by carrying the Cd and a tiny zip drive for any files I needed.
My main requirement was that I be able to use this as a working computer. I was not concerned in just other geeky toy. I turned on my laptop, inserted the Cd, and waited to see what would happen. In a few seconds, the theory booted and I had a nice finding desktop with 17 icons in the upper left quadrant.

file - A click here popped up all my directories similar to explorer.
help - A nice introduction to Puppy with links to specific subjects.
mount - A place to see all the mounted drives, the hard drive, usb zip, and the Cd.
install - A easy holder employer to install lots of additional packages. I was happy to see my popular mind map tool, vym or View Your Mind.
setup - Tools to configure, startup, keyboard, mouse, printer, etc.,etc
edit - A very light text editor, more than adequate for my uses.
console - A nice final for command line work, like Dos, but better.
write - Abiword, a nice word processor, not quite Word but similar to Ms Works.
calc - gnumeric, a good spreadsheet program
paint - A good image editor much like the one in windows accessories.
draw - Inkscape Lite, more than I expected, a nice vector drawing schedule with many of the capabilities of Illustrator.
browse - Sea Monkey Browser based on mozilla. All the startling goodies.
email - email with Sea Monkey
chat - join together to the puppy reserve channel with Irc
plan - A nice calendar for scheduling, contacts, notes, etc
play - gxine, a media player, audio and video
connect - The Internet association Wizard. Instant association to my netword and wireless was configured in a consolidate of minutes.
Very satisfactory. Three icons in the lower left let me click straight through to any of the files on my drive. Using the exiguous zip drive allowed me to save files and also saved all the configurations, passwords, bookmarks, etc. So they were all there on the next boot. A right click on the desktop brought up a menu of categories. Choosing the internet option, I was able to telnet and ftp into my server sites. Bit torrent and many other features were there.
If you're finding for a full featured operating theory that will run on just about any computer, along with a one I bought at a used computer store, give Puppy a walk nearby the block. Besides, it's fun.
