Title: Puppy Linux - revisited - Absolutely stunning!

If you're thinking this tiny, 93MB distro is going to leave you with a spartan, minimalistic desktop experience, think again. Wireless support, MP3 support, Flash built-in, integrated browser player, personal blogging software, HTML editor, backup software, GParted, Samba sharing out of the box, this is just a tiny list of what Puppy 4.1 offers you.

Haven't tried Puppy since v1, that was ok. This isn't ok, its fantastic, i'm very impressed.
I quite often take a live cd and a memory stick with me if i know i'll be using someone else's comp, i'll take this one now.
How do they make it so fast? Virtually seamless.  ;D

I'm going to see if I can get it working on my eeepc later - this could be a nice replacement for ubuntu when I want something fast.

Let me know how you get on, Sam.  Might as well use mine as a toy, if nothing else.
