Puppy had a brief mention in Popular Science's "How 2.0" section. A sidebar described "5 Things to do with your flash drive". The fifth was installing Puppy. Yeah, it was just a few sentences, but this is the first I've seen Puppy mentioned in a printed American magazine. Yay.
(edit: first time I've seen it personally. I think it's been in a few PC magazines and such, but none that I get.)

If your operating system goes kablooey, you can start your PC directly from a USB drive with Puppy Linux (free; goosee.com), a bare-bones OS with many of the applications mentioned above pre-installed.

Huh. Cool. I've had that issue for a couple days now, but I haven't had the time to start reading it yet. How 2.0 is awesome. Now I have another reason to like it
