It has eye candy graphic features which is excellent for oldie like me with poor night vision.
May not work with very old computers but who keeps old computers now that the second hand value of the P IV is very cheap.
In fact I bought a second hand one for testing Linux with Sata and IDE hard drives and 512 RAM (minimum for D.D.R II )for Rs. 15,000 and when my old computers are not working or IDE hard disks are not available (soon inevitable) I can use it as my back up machine.
I may have to spent a dew bucks for the DDR2 RAM and the Express Graphic Cards.
One of the web Linux friend tells me that the 64 bit machine gives only 4% acceleration and the most up time through put one gets is only 6% (I stand to correction on these figures but I believe him).
Who needs a dual core?
They are really not fast but they consume lot of electricity (electricity bill will be up) and lot of fans to cool them unless they have a way of tropicalizing them to suit warm countries like ours.
Sorry for diversions but Puppy Linux of any variety will stand tall among tiny Linux distributions.
