And, as a limited 'Nix, Puppy is fine. It ISN'T the distro. SUSE is by
any streatch of anyone's imagination. I don't have to go out and grab
source code and hope I can compile apps. for SUSE, as most often, I
already have the apps. on DVD or I can get it compiled from the Net.
It's simply a much better compete stable distro. On an old box, Puppy is
probably a good choice, but not on a much newer box.
