I am a xubuntu user by trade (as they say) and experiment with slax at
work (since I can't install anything and I need a certain collection of
apps to get things done).

Yup, every so often I float back to see where puppy is at. About every
three months or so or when they appear on distrowatch.com with a new
release that has some merit. I also keep up with reviews of puppy as
well as Ubuntu.

These are some areas where some determined effort might just pay off.
The big problem, of course, is that I work in instructional design and
spend most of my time developing video, writing tutorials and working on
websites
I've had some extra time this summer, but spent it working on various
websites for pay (gas prices are eating my commute alive). Now, there
are a few church management tools out there as well as bible research
tools that I know of, however, they are mostly web based.
That said, I could probably put together an Ajax enabled PHP church
administration package if I really wanted to and I had the time. For
now, I just finished redesigning my own site (www.ginorio.org),
redesigning Chico Performances (www.chicoperformances.com) and I am in
heavy development with a Colonial Mexican Architecture site
(www.mexicanarchitecture.org). Add to that a long overdue redesign of
Our Saviour's Lutheran Church (Christopher Rose's church) in process as
well.
I suppose I should give puppy a go again on the next "stable" release. I
might even use it at work if it proves hearty enough to handle the new
Dells.
