About the Puppy linux 2.01
These are extraordinary goals, yet Puppy achieves them all. Obviously, some objectives have qualifications, for example, to load totally into RAM the PC must have either 128M RAM or failing that a swap partition. Also, the "will just work, no hassles" objective is a work-in-progress!
Some More Detail
My Puppy2 Developer Forum is still broken. I have had communications with customer support at netfirms.com (my host) and they say the forum works for them. At first, they told me to clear my browser cache, then they told me to test the forum via an indirect url. Nothing works, yet they insist it is working. I can see the main index page of the forum, but cannot browse nor login. It seems that others are browsing, but I see that there have been no posts since June 17th.
My Developer Forum is here: http://www.puppyos.net/blog/ -- kindly post a feedback comment there.
Simple PHP Blog is looking good. I may migrate to it as the permanent Developer News page. But, still in the testing/evaluation phase.
