If I remember correctly, most of the system is loaded onto ram so the system does feel very fast. The difference was quite obvious on my old P4 computer, where the HDD is rather old and slow.

1108730 2010-06-10 12:48:00 Puppy is good. If you want something debian based preconfigured for light specs, try AntiX. It uses the MEPIS tools and kernel, and is pretty good. Brooko (8444)
1108731 2010-06-10 12:54:00 isn't windows good enough? it doesn't need to run that fast. streaming music won't need much ram, will it? goodiesguy (15316)
1108732 2010-06-10 14:09:00 Windows? Good enough? For what?
Getting your identity stolen and your friends
infected with malware?
Yep, it's good enough for that all right
(There are all manner of variations of Puppy)
www.puppylinux.org tm
is a good place to start.
