From my many distro-hoppings and distro-surfings, I thought I knew some great options for my uncle... Scientific Linux, top among them. ... Had spoke of dozens of others. Had not imagined he'd pick Puppy. XD Well over a decade now with Puppy as his daily-driver.
I spent a couple years DD'ing Puppy from a flash drive after a critical failure in the boot sector of my main drive that I couldn't repair, reformat, or partition around.
Used puppy to transfer some files I could still get to on the drive and then just... Stayed. Nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution!
Scientific linux was my first distro!
