Puppy isn't difficult, but it _is_ different--and quirky. I love
playing with it, but in actual use, we use it primarily for browsing
the web, and nothing more. It runs great on 10 yr old tech, which
keeps a Dell laptop of that vintage in action, and relieves our kids'
Mac Miini for more "serious" work. ;-) Puppy is fortunate in that
there is tons of information out there, and a large community. If you
are also the "quirky" type, you will love Puppy, like me. ;-)
