Hi
Has anyone used Puppy Linux. Im looking for a small lightweight distro with good hardware support.
Puppy Linux seems to work on very low hardware, has flash support out of the box and good wireless support.
I tried Xubuntu but couldnt get it installed. I tried Fluxbuntu but wasnt impressed. I tried DSLN but it required a lot of tweaking.
I just wondered if any of you Linux lovers had tried Puppy Linux.
Ive got a P2 300mhz with 160mb ram.

I have tried puPuppy Linux several times over the years on old hardware that has passed through my hands and it seemed pretty good to me. It's creator, Barry Kauler, is an Ozzie academic whom I first came across many years ago when he was writing windows applications in assembler. He is definitely a nuts and bolts man who revels in getting close to the hardware.
