[CS-FSLUG] My new distro

[Christopher Rose]

I think that puppy got my attention because of the fact that I burned it on the same day that I burned DSL 0.9.2 (that disc failed to boot). Oddly enough, I never tested it. Then I went through nearly two months without a hard drive. It was when the hard drive crashed that I finally tested the puppy 0.8 disc I had burned. I was amazed (first I was shocked that it even worked), it was quick, easy, and fun. I may stick with puppy for a while. I especially like the neat dotpup and pupget apps. I may use dotpup to install firefox 1.5 soon. Either way, I am having fun with this distro.

Pax,
Christopher
