Yeah its ability to run without tinkering is valid. My MO is puppylinux (of course) on USB stick, have played with the LinpusLite which is robust but limited and use more resources than Puppy. The last year I've encouraged people to use Portableapps on any windows system from 2000 onwards if they have to stay with Windows for whatever reason. Still using the earlier platforms and they will run on 2000 from a 4G thumbdrive, very nicely. All open source apps apart from the ones I''ve adapted that came with scanners and downloads, all run without a skerrick of registry writing. Well worth the journey. Would like to ask your ideas on this... I feel the current lot of Firefox browsers have reintroduced huge bloat and aren't so rasy to use; I have preference for ver 2.0.0.20. Any thoughts? Thank you for the Chrome thoughts.
