====Which Puppy Linux is best on slower media?====
If you are running puppylinux on a fast storage medium (USB 3.0 or SATA) then you can likely get by running even the latest version of Puppy Linux on a small amount of RAM. For instance the puppylinux.org blog suggests the following system specs:

Once we get to old enough hardware (approximately ~2005 to 2008), then puppy linux is much more likely to be installed on media with slower write speeds (like USB 2.0 or serial ATA). in which case we can revert to [[WhatPuppyLinuxIsBestForYou historicaly recommended ram specs]] (less than 512MB ram min for Wary). This likely assumes the user is running a very light weight browser and very little if any client side scripting in the browser. Pehaps they are running Dillo for instance or at lease using something light weight (like pale-moon) and using soething to minimize the use of client side scripting (like no script).

Additions:
One specification that plays a large part in system performance is the amount of ram available but because puppy is often run from a USB stick their will be a large performance difference between running puppy on a USB 2.0 stick vs a USB 3.0 stick. A USB 2.0 (year 2000) stick will give 35 to 60 MB/s of signalling speeds (slightly slower than UltraATA (66 to 100 MB/s) hard drives (Year 2002)).

However, if ran from a USB 2.0 stick then these specs may be insufficient (See discussion [[http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=112438 here]] & [[http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=978845#978845 here]]) given that USB 2.0 is 100x slower then USB 3.0.
