Are you a frustrated user of Windows XP (or even Windows 98)? Do you want to work with a phenomenally fast Operating System (OS)? You may have heard about the alternative, often free, operating system, Linux, but are totally inexperienced in computer technology. Can you use Linux and especially Puppy Linux (Puppy Linux is phenomenally fast because it runs entirely in RAM on most PCs)? The answer is most probably:
**yes!**
You can find basic information in this wiki, on other Puppy Linux sites, and also at the Forum (great for all your specific questions not covered elsewhere) and, of course, in this section designed especially for users new to Linux and specifically Puppy Linux.
