<p dir="ltr">Hi guys.<br>
I am new to the group. I am not strong in Linux and only tried a few distros, but i have had very good luck with puppy Linux. Very simple and light. Easy to use. Main issue is usually adding peripherals such as printers and scanners.<br>

You can of course simply take out the multiverse and restricted words<br>
in the /etc/apt/sources.list and get pretty much the same thing.<br>
