What Puppy Linux is the one for me a very beginner?
Never touched and even heard Puppy Linux. Yes, I saw the word Linux many times. It scared me every time I saw it. Now I am trying to learn it, start with Linux Puppy.
Which one of the Puppies is right for me a very beginner and not have much computer knowledge & skills. Just a common user.
Thank you.
All right. I have made a mistake. What I should have asked is what is the simplest & easiest to use for me. I shall stay with BionicPup32 if its Light does not block connections to websites suck as YouTube, NBC, New York Times etc.
What are the specifications of your computer? manufacture, model number, RAM size etc.
Puppy is unlike most distributions because it essentially runs entirely from RAM and nothing is saved to physical storage until you shutdown if enabled to your pup save file. However it can be installed and run from a hard drive.
It uses very light applications but you can install other packages from other distributions.

That's good enough to run just about any distro you fancy - try MX Linux, it's good for beginners, has its own forums, & lots of instructional videos to watch.
