Minisys Linux or Muppy
From www.linux.com, here is Dmitri Popov's review of Muppy. It is nice to know that you can update the system using the sfs files, which was introduced in a previous incarnation of PL Community Edition. Here is the link:

Lifehacker's comparison and walkthrough
Below is the link to a comparison small Linux distributions featuring, among others, Puppy Linux:
http://lifehacker.com/5069054/battle-of ... ux-systems
Just a comment with regards to the negative points: if you save your initial choices to usb drive or hard drive, you won't have to answer the initial configuration questions. With regards to cluttered menus, it is a matter of preference. They should have seen the menu system that I have with Puppy Linux and Windows XP (very frightening! )
Here's a walkthrough of Puppy Linux 4.1:
http://lifehacker.com/software/geek-to- ... 307542.php
The walkthrough is a nice beginner's introduction to Puppy Linux.
Regards to all. By the way, it's All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day this weekend in the Philippines (November 1 and 2).

That lifehacker review was also picked up by OSnews, so that means it's out there in the general public.

" I have been impressed by it so much that I have installed it on
my hard drive (yup, you read that right) as a quick booting OS.
It takes 30 sec to boot and 12 sec to shut down. "

Some reviews of puppy 4.0
http://www.goodbyemicrosoft.net/news.php?extend.265
Only three problems: my ISA sound card was not detected (so, no sound); my Windows (Samba) network was not detected; and software can only be installed from the limited selection at the Puppy repository.
No instructions provided for configuring a Windows network printer.
Unable to find local Windows network.

" Puppy Linux was and is one of my favorites, a distribution that's not only tiny and lightweight but remarkably full-featured. Now in its 4.1.2 incarnation, it crams most everything people need into a mere 100MB package, with additional software available separately and a wide variety of community-remixed editions for even more-specific needs. It's also shaped up as the near-perfect way to rejuvenate older notebooks, since it requires very little in the way of space or system resources to run well. "

That is a very fair round up of what is out there
(incidentally highlight your URL and click on URL to make it a link
- just roll over URL to get another option
I value familiarity and so even though I do the odd bit of distro hopping and have tried all the distros mentioned apart from Gentoo (too much time fiddling).
I now prefer to distro hop amongst puplets.
Puppy
Linux - but friskier

Fun with Puppy puplets - having a good time with MiPUP2
Fellow Puppy Lovers,
Desktop Linux featured a nice review of MiPUP2 by Dave Dibble. Though he only explored one puplet, Dave describe how flexible Puppy Linux is. From which, various puplets are made.
