I have been using Puppy 5.2.8 for almost all of what I want to do with it. Coming from the Mac side (since 1988), Puppy has been an eye opener for me in a positive way! I'm still learning and as always, I am SO thankful for the help and assistance from this forum.
I have tried other distros but so far Puppy is the only one that installs quickly, is super quick to use and back up. I love those features!
Here are the tools I use in my everyday computer stuff. Aside from the obvious using the internet via my browser of choice, here goes:
browser: doesn't really matter to me
arecord (command line tool)
asunder
audacity
avidemux
ffconvert
filezilla
That's about it for my day to day arsenal of tools.
What are you using in your everyday Puppy computer life?

I am sometimes amazed at what is available for Puppy...

Good thread.
Here are mine (there are quite a few);
Browser (usually Opera plus either Firefox or Seamonkey)
File manager (Midnight Commander, plus a graphical one such as either Rox or Thunar)
Utility for burning data and ISOs to CD or DVD
Text editor (Geany's pretty good although I'd prefer one with a spell checker like Textpad for Windows)
Word processor; Abiword does pretty much everything I want
Spreadsheet; Gnumeric likewise
Image viewer; gqview or geeqie is fine
Multimedia player like xmms or gxine
Graphical calculator like GCalcTool or Calcoo
PDF file reader like epdfview
Database (Portabase is excellent for what I need).
That's it really. I play the occasional game and sometimes do some picture editing (almost never anything mtpaint can't handle).
