Helping my dad bring to life an old win 98 time pc. DSL has been a mongrel to recognise printer and get dial up working in fact no success at all. Puppy looks and sounds way easier, may even install it on the sd card on my eee pc, currently running xubuntu. I’ll post again shortly with an update.
cheers folks.

PuppyLinux is great !

DamnSmallLinux has small differences:
- DamnSmall is… smaller (50 Mb only).
- While PuppyLinux requires 128 Mb of RAM, DSL runs well with only 64 Mb. (In fact, even with 32 Mb)
- DamnSmall has overall better peripherals detection.
- but DamnSmallLinux comes with fewer programs.

I prefer PuppyLinux.
