I was just looking into puppy. I tried Fox Desktop
(based on FC4) but it isn't ready for prime time ...
atleast not yet. Right now I'm experimenting with
different desktops using Ubuntu (Fluxbox, Xfce, e17,
KDE, Gnome). 

I'm also experimenting with booting SLAX from a 128
USB key. It even works sometimes. In case you don't
know, SLAX is a module based distro; It has several
bases (CLI only, Server, Desktop + a few utils or full
featured) to which the user adds modules. By placing
the .mo files in the /modules folder, the software is
added or removed form the live distro. I am using the
"Popcorn" base (Xfce4, Firefox1.5, Gaim and Abiword);
I added Bluefish, a driver for my video card and the
Gimp (and it's still under 128M). If I get it working,
I'll let you know.

Until then, congratulation on selecting a distro that
makes you happy. I hope it keeps life interesting ...
just not too interesting (If you know what I mean). By
the way, it's nice to see you appreciating speed and
flexibility in a distro; That's a very tech savvy
attitude.
