For me, Puppy was pretty much useless because I couldn't for the life of me work out how to set either of my network connections, let alone install it.

I'd be interested to know how you feel about comparing this with Bodhi? For my needs, everything in Bodhi works out of the box, network connections included, it's lightening fast and takes very little time to download the software you might want from their new "App Center". This machine was dual booted with Windows7/Kororaa previously and replacing Kororaa with Bodhi was as simple as reassigning the swap area and setting the former Kororaa partition to "ext4" and "/". I'll be posting a screenshot of the desktop in the ChitChat forum "What does your desktop look like?" thread as soon as I have time to get it customized.

I've been using Kororaa for some time but a recent update has induced high CPU use at times which is something I'm not prepared to live with nor do I have the time to research a fix for. I may look at it again when V16 comes out, but for now I'm back with Bodhi because it just works. My average memory use is around one third of that used by Windows or a full KDE Linux distribution to accomplish the same thing.
