Lucid PuppyLinux, a mostly Ubuntu-compatible version.

I was already aware that some of you seemed to prefer RPM-based
distros like Fedora. I just don't have a native install (which version
would be good, anyways?) and honestly didn't feel like wasting hours
just to be more miserable. Normally I'm up for it, but when I don't
understand why it keeps failing, it's less fun. One of these days I
need to set up yet another VirtualBox guest and try again.
