If you go with Puppy they have implemented a Puppy Package
Manager that automates the load process from apps set up for
Puppy (the friendly folks there will create a Puppy-compatible
version of most apps on request) ... they are even adding a
Debian import feature to enable apps set up for Debian to be
automatically loaded.

They have really made it user friendly.

I had used SuSE but it got too bloated.  Puppy is a complete
operating system with suite of GUI apps, and is only about
50 - 80M and boots directly off the CDROM!

Sorry to sound as though I am evangelizing for Puppy but it
is a real natural for Hams using older PC's and laptops.
