Puppy Linux
Posted: Thu Jan 09, 2014 7:44 pm
My old computer up in the family room, used to do a little web browsing, shit itself. Probably a flub on the hard drive. Stuck in and endless reboot cycle. It was running WinXP, had some slow processor and only had 1GB RAM.
So I went looking for a Linux install. Settled on Puppy Linux, as they advertised easily booting off of a CD-ROM. Downloaded the 300 MB ISO and burned it to CD on good computer, and stuck it in the bad computer after pointing the boot to the CD-ROM and presto! Boots right up in 20 seconds or so, and has a good enough web browser to do everything we need to do. It Just Worked. Gets my recommendation.
