Sure, but even if you can install that on a PC from 1993, you’re probably not going on the internet and trying to do your daily business on the thing. Might be good to play solitaire on or something.

Puppy Linux actually works pretty well online, but you probably won’t have any luck configuring any printer to work. Setting up a printer from a list of brands and models is a breeze until you try a test print, it goes through the motions and then and nothing comes out. Simply maddening. For the past four years I have alternated between Ubuntu and Mint on various machines and found them to be much more reliable. In fact, I haven’t used Windows at home at all for the past several years.
