What Distro

[kendall.a]

I have been running Puppy Linux (Slacko Puppy version 5.3.1) off of a boot CD for the past day or so. I'm running it on an old laptop that is dual-booted with Peppermint and Mint Julia.

While I am having some difficulty learning where/how to find what I need in this distro, I can say that speed-wise, it beats both Peppermint and Mint Julia by a long shot. It is blazingly fast on my system compared to the other two distros. It is also the only distro, of the 3, that recognizes my keyboard layout and allows me to use the built-in number pad.

Now, I just wish I could figure out how to turn off the built-in laptop mouse as my thumb keeps hitting it and moving my mouse pointer. (I've had to re-type several parts of this post because of it....)

One last oddity--all the icons on the desktop open with a single click rather than a double click. I keep accidentally opening 2 of the same program because I'm so used to double clicking icons.
