[SATLUG] Puppy 2.17

[country]

I just created disks to run on the store systems and puppy was easy and very
friendly as far as a user perspective.

Have been using a CD based Santa Fe which is a bit more graphic orientated,
but good as well.

We use Linux CD based on our store machines to keep kids from coming in and
loading some programs on the machines on the shelf, and starting some timed
releases..   Linux CD based either Santa Fe or Puppy work well.. at least it
gives me a chance to intervene prior to them starting things...

Needless to say I have P***ed off some of those kids, but they are not here
to buy the systems, they wanna play on them...

Have given distros of Santa Fe to some customers, they like the way it looks
and feels, and think Puppy will be even more popular..

One thing I had to do is get the BURNCDCC program, and it worked well, even
for Santa Fe.   I'm back to being really impressed with the distro's again,
and anything is better than microsloth's attempt to be an Apple with
Vista...
