I am using Puppy Linux 4.3.1 on a Compaq Armada 1700 laptop. Dual boot
with w2k. It has a 233 PII,160mb ram,4gb drive(3gb/1gb partitions). I used
DSL before on it but puppy is much better-you should check it out. There
are a lot more updated apps available for it than DSL.

well the latest version did not detect my D-Link card-I posted this in the
puppy forums the other day. The only problem I had with 431 was that I had
to configure the sound manually. Seems that the older versions detect the
old hardware better. BTW-I just installed firefox 3.5.6 but it is a llitle
slow. Opera 10.10 works great.
