http://www.tuxme.com/index.php?news=1098857108∞ This article gives the thumb-up for Puppy,
but does mention a small problem with network detection -- I'm onto it, and hope to fix by next release."

Hi Guys, Gals and Puppys,
Lobster here with an editorial rant (you lucky people).
Amanda Singh aka Oz Linux Puppy "Thoughtjourney"
(who STILL hasn't sent me any poems) is one of
our most influential Puppys of late. Why?
Because there has been an explosion of interest
in Windows Managers since the "Peach Puppy" 1.0.5
arrived and fruited. I am in Xfce (see cutting edge
in forum) and well it is even more beautiful than Gliezl
(who also has failed to send me any poems - tsk tsk)
Anyway time to email your kettle∞ and prepare for Puppy Promotion Week

Weekend Review (Editorial comment)

It occured to me that puppies & myself are still complaining. Well enough! Today I am going to
tell why puppy is the best. For one, this linux has a lot of programs, but the thing I like about these
programs is that they are light weight. Whomever designed these programs put time & effort into making
them as small as possible while making sure they provided top notch performance. And secondly, programs
just work. No dependcy issues, they just work. If you have ever used another distro & try installing software
especially if your new to linux you know what I'm talking about. Another thing is the easy tweaking.
You can trick this linux out as if it were a hotrod. And the last thing I am gonna mention is the support.
If you have never participated with an online community this is the most unbiased & friendly forum around.
If you have a question, proposal, idea, tip or trick it will not go unnoticed. We puppies take extreme interest
in what other's have to write or chat about. If it can can improve or enchance our computer time we are for it.
Well, that's it for me, thanks for reading & if you have not downloaded∞ puppy do so, and if you need any help remember that the dogpound∞ is right around the corner.
