Hey hollipl,

I'm using Puppy tahrpup 32bit (frugal install) as an everyday driver on an old Windows XP computer without any complaints.

Never thought about it until you ask about my banking on line.

I know that nothing is bullit proof and not running root is only safe from the user making mistakes.
Running root IMO isn't anymore unsafe than not running root.
