I downloaded the ISO and burned the image to a CD.  I have tried UBUNTU, Mint and SUSE along Knoppix and some I've forgotten.

Puppy Linux is small but fast and it comes with drivers to make my wireless card in my laptop work.  Not only that but it has OpenOffice, Firefox and easily installs JAVA.  If you have a flash drive you can save your settings and programs onto the flash drive when you exit and the next time you boot from the CD Puppy will start quite quickly with JAVA and all your bookmarks in Firefox. 

Seems ideal for on the road or secure browsing.  The last issue of PC World suggested that you should only do online banking with a live Linux CD.

I installed Thunderbird for email and I believe that for those who use a PC to surf the net, send and receive emails this operating system is perfect.  I doubt most would even know it wasn't windows, except it's not going to get those viruses.
