Open source, boots from a CD (your Windows installation is unchanged) w/ simple instruction manual
old, slow computers run very well using Puppy's all-in-memory Linux kernel
There are many versions of Puppy available, each with a specific purpose
You will need to know how to burn a disk from an ISO image
Puppy is an easy-to-learn, easy-to-use Linux distribution for Windows users. Recommended.
You don't necessarily use the latest release, you use the version with the software you want
- 'ISpup'= 'Industrial Strength PuppyLinux'; based on Quirky 120
