Puppy Linux 4.0 Review
After my last review of Puppy Linux, I was very skeptical about the new release. But, I'll say right away that it has improved quite a bit.
From the "mount" icon on the desktop, I was very easily able to mount my USB drive. Even though this is automatic in other distributions, it's made very easy in Puppy, and I suppose the distro is lighter because it doesn't have an auto mount service running. One thing that Puppy needs to do is put an icon on the desktop once it's mounted. It took me a few minutes to figure out that you have to click on mount again, and click on the icon for your appropriate disk. It's a little redundant, if you ask me. I later found an option in the menu which will change this behaviour. If you go to "menu", "desktop", "hotpup desktop drive icons" it gives you the option to put an icon on the desktop when it mounts the drive. I still feel that icons should be put on the desktop by default.
Once I had my USB drive mounted, I was easily able to retrieve my WEP key from the text file which opened in the default text editor Geany.
