I burned Puppy 3.01 and gave it a try. I liked the way it was setting up - seems much more user friendly than DSL-N, but everytime I launched the browser, the whole thing would ‘hang’. (Does Linux have the equivalent of Ctl-Alt-Del?). Once it even hung before I got to the browser.
I’ll play with it a little more.
Update - posting from Puppy Linux. I seem to have solved the problem of it hanging. Looks like it was a video issue. I think I’ll keep this one for a while.
