Thanks for those links, eumel !!
The Puppy Linux desktop looks really good... well thought-out layout (say that fast 10 times! lol). Their web site is very easy to navigate and find whatever you want to know. I opened the Sidux site and my first impression is that it's not a very user friendly site, especially not after looking at the Puppy Linux site. I mean, how many new users are going to be WOWwed to it because they've come out with a Hungarian version... unless you're from Hungary, of course. Maybe the Sidux folks will rethink and reprioritize their info; that would probably help their distribution get more notice and more actual people trying it and using it. My 2 cents, for what it's worth. Thanks again for those links, eumel!! I probably would not have looked at either distribution, had they not been recommended for their small footprints.
