I've just booted Puppy 2.15 "Viz" on my IBM IntelliStation E Pro (PIII 500mhz, 128mb of RAM) and it's nice. Package management is good. Though I had trouble with a couple of the Puppy ISO's I downloaded, this one seems ok.

Very nice.. looks complete. Any issues or driver problems on install?

Nothing at all, except that when choosing xvesa I couldn't get the resolution above 800x600x16. Switched to xorg and got it to 1280x1024x24.

Other than that, everything was great and it boots in about 1 minute flat.

One problem with this is I couldn't seem to get multi-session to work, or even to save the session on shutdown/reboot with a CDRW. Not sure why.
