One of my favorite low foot print Linux installs is Puppy Linux been using it on and off for years.

It has saved my bacon on a few times used to boot and restore or save data from a dead OS install.

New version looks good so far.

Make learning programming fun

It is funny how things come around again, when I started learning to programming back in the 1980s on my 8 bit machines (ZX81, Acorn Electron, BBC Micro) I used to play with graphics a lot. It gave instant feedback and visually showed the results of things like recursion. I had great fun playing with Fractals and other procedural generated images.

Recently I discovered a YouTube channel and programming platform which took me right back to those days.

I made the switch from Bash shell to the FISH shell a couple of years ago now and never looked back.

Customization and auto-complete features was the killer features for me.
