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.
