Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

If you want something like this to succeed you need to pick a specific hardware platform. It's simply not possible to get "just works" on all generic hardware with linux.

But if you pick something specific, you can make it work better than windows or whatever.

So the hardware you choose needs to be extremely appealing: ie, sexy form factor, and cheap price. Bonus points if it can't run windows very well or at all.

Think about the original EeePC.

Also the OpenPandora might be a good example, but I think it is still vaporware.

ChromeOS and the google chromebook would be a third example.
