That's pretty much what my other IT source told me. VMware and 10 distros until I find something I don't hate but am not bored of.

Cool, thanks for the info and thoughts guys.

Well I reinstalled and then I put in all the Alsa files available in Puppy Package Manager, I ran Alsa and bingo I got barking. Just a thought out the...

Hey this works and well.

Thanks for all the great tips here.

I actually got this to work. I found some Office icons on line and installed a US dictionary. Fun stuff.

I'm new as all get out to Puppy Linux but I'm getting the hang of it.
