I imagine most people come to the forum when they have a problem and then leave. That is no good measure of how many people enjoy using puppy. Just for the heck of it I dug an old dinosaur of a computer--4 gig hard drive 64 mb ram--and booted it with puppy, I was amazed that it nearly started up. It got to the tool bar before it died. With another hundred mb of ram it would probably work. I keep a pup cd and a 256 mb stick and a 2 gig stick with puppy on them. Never know when you will need it, and it is fun just to boot and mess around with. I think puppy has staying power and would not worry about its popularity.

If you had copied the main sfs file in lowercase to the hard drive,
it would have probably booted.
I always call it a cheat grugal.
Just like adding ram in a way.
It wouldn't be fast probably....but it would still be usable.
Example:
luci_528.sfs ... >> is Puppy lucid 5.28
pup-431.sfs ....>> Puppy 4.31
