I have an old laptop, which had XP on it, but ran so very slow. I installed ubuntu on it thinking that it would run faster, which it did up until I did an upgrade to the latest 10.04. Something happened with this upgrade that caused the wireless to stop working. I tried to get it working again, but gave up. I asked myself what did I need in the way of an OS for home. We have a desktop that is quite good for power hungry applications. I just wanted something that I could update my blog on and surf the net. I heard about Puppy Linux so after a quick download and a trial test of the OS off of the CD, I went ahead and deleted and reassigned my drive using gpart and installed Puppy 5.0. So far I am very pleased with it. Fast and simple.
