I completely agree Randall; I cite Ubuntu because it's popular and I have it on my laptop. It's absolutely not the most usable solution around (I personally find Gnome less intuitive than KDE, so find PCLinuxOS 2007 to be the best I've tried).

Ubuntu was a complete pain in the arse to get my wireless card working (and sound) but I still point to it as a shining example (for some reason).

Puppy is on my list of things to look at; when they do a new release I'll be all over it.

Thanks for the comment.
