Puppy Linux
This distribution is often heralded for its ability to get old hardwareup and running quickly and efficiently thanks, in part, to mix offeatures that save system resources without sacrificing usefulapplications. In fact, for a distro package that's less than 100 MB,Puppy comes packed with text editors, PDF converter, spreadsheet app,note-taking wiki, calendar, IRC client, media player, DVD and CDripper, Mozilla Seamonkey Suite, and more. Puppy can also detect a widearray of hardware, include graphics and wireless cards, monitors, mice,and keyboards.
