OK, don't kill each other over this. Yes, using any network connecting program as root is a potential vulnerability. Yes, if you are chatting on IRC or browsing regular web sites as root you are a DUMMY. It would be completely OK, if Puppy positioned itself as a rescue Live CD distro. Unfortunately it is not the case, they position themselves as a platform for making general use Live CDs or as a Live CD for running off of older systems. So, using Puppy USB stick to fix your systems (which might include downloading a driver from known site) is OK, since you are going to be doing most things as root anyway. Using it as a regular OS is a bad idea. Oh, and BTW, GTK2 is not all that heavy, Pentium 150/64MB is just not a reasonable system. I mean I am not complaining that I cannot run linux on my Mac Classic :)
