Thin Puppy Torture Test -- Day 1, Part II
I still haven't finished writing the saga of how I got control over the CPU fan in Puppy 3.00 on the $0 Laptop. But I do want to say that the help I got from the Puppy Linux forum was invaluable. A great community is one of Puppy's strongest assets. The same goes for the Damn Small Linux people. Not only are both groups extremely active, but their advice usually solves most problems right away.
Unrelated Puppy issue: While the pup_save file in Puppy Linux holds all settings and can accommodate as many files as its size will allow, I think bigger files, like Linux ISOs, large amounts of music, video and images, should be stored on a mountable drive outside the pup_save. That way, if you want to access the material with another Linux distro, it's not stuck in a pup_save file that can only be opened while using Puppy.
