What do you think?

Puppy is perfect for the $100 PC. Gates said it was impossible. HUMMM. I dont think so. Puppy would be perfect.

Crank the handle, learn UNIX, learn Firefox, Mozilla, or other software as far as browsing the net, learn Open Office, other Open Source software. In 5 years Open Source will be equal to MicroSoft, Corel...

The main gig holding back the project is the lack of a hard drive on the PCs. Puppy doesn't need a hard drive.

Have you people contacted the project?
