I know I could buy more memory or get multicores.. involves money and time..
The memory footprint of ubuntu 11 is obviously too much for the hardware I have
and I'm not claiming anything else.
I found Puppy to be kewl, but a bit off the beaten track. I used it for small
embedded stuff, and much as I'm not a fan of the whole ubuntu paradgsm it does
work and there is lots of expertise if you need it.
Still if puppy works for you then use it :-)
Embedded is what I'm working on.. so the speed advantage is what I need.
PCLinuxOS is fast, uses a light X11 interface and works well in older
hardware and just about set up my wifi for me. I have the 64bit version
and it flies.
