I have an old laptop - Compaq Armada M300:
Intel P3 500mhz cpu
128mb RAM ( max for this laptop is 320mb - 64mb onboard + slot 1 64mb )
4mb ATi Rage Mobility GFX
12gb ATA66 ( UDMA 2 ) HDD
Originally this was running Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 dual boot.
However as the price of RAM is high for this laptop I was considering using Puppy Linux or one of it's derivaties.
I have already downloaded the latest stable build v4.1.2 and this works well and recognises my USB WiFi adapter.
My main use for this laptop is simply to browse the net and be able to download/post to newsgroups - that's it.
Can anyone suggest a 'puppy derivative' for my requirements?
Thanks!
Which one?

There are so many to choose from!
First thing i would do is create yourself 256Mb of swap space on the Hard Drive.
Then for the puplet?
The choice is yours, but of course it's unfair as i'm the designer of eeZos.
So why not start trying that! You'll love it:
