Sounds intresting no?

I started writing from it but it locked up and I lost the post

It is slow (compared to Puppy) looks much better as it uses Gnome as default and it set up my DHCP automatically.

I was using it from CD (you have to download and join 3 separate files - follow the instructs) and boot in as root - no password - from CD Gentoo based. Nice - yes. Potential yes. Will I be changing?

No

Hail Puppy!

Does it run from RAM like Puppy does so as not to wear out the flash memory with lots of writing and erasing?

Hey Flash they named it after you . . .


Dunno

I ran it from CD and it was 311 meg (a release candidate) - you need to run the CD to install it to Flash memory keydrive

It seems solid - It used Abiword and Gnumeric and also came with Open Office (boy was that slow to load compared with Puppy)
- it is not a live CD but a dead CD

However it shows considerable promise - it reminds me of Beatrix - a basic bunch of high quality software - Gimp, Firefox etc

I wonder how it does what it claims IE sets up your flashdrive to live longer. Hmmmmm.
