Puppy now has many more apps, plus hardware autodetection.
The ISO is still only 22M, with a full suite of GUI
apps. The entire filesystem runs in a 48M ramdisk,
which means that all apps start instantly and respond
instantly --a most pleasant experience!

Good news also is ibiblio.org is now hosting the
live-CD ISO.
