Hello.
Just to say that the Puppy Linux versions I've tested (started with 1.0.4, now using 2.15 CE) work perfectly out-of-the-box on the following machines:
VAIO PCG-K115S (2.8 GHZ, P4, 512 MB RAM)
VAIO PCG-SR1K ( P3 Coppermine, 64 MB RAM, external CD-ROM)
After testing Puppy Linux has been installed on both machines and works stable and very, very fast. (The older 64MB machine required a previous creation of a swap-file/partitioning, if I recall correctly, and - as usual with Linux - the soft-modem is not working right from the start, but I don�t need it).
External PCMCIA CD-Drive: The SR1K machine boots from an external drive. Since PL 1.0.9 you need to pass this parameter at boot time: puppy ide1=0x180 nopcmcia.
Maybe this information is helpful for somebody trying to bring his/her old VAIO to life again and who is interested in Linux . I believe Puppy Linux is the best choice here today.

Puppy Linux works fine on 64 MB Sony Vaio
What works, and doesn't, for you. Be specific, and please include Puppy version.
