Slitaz
Slitaz is a very small Linux distro and can be found here. Download page is here. The whole distro is smaller than 30MB. I recommend the LiveCD Stable version if you want something reliable, the LiveCD Cooking version if you're adventurous and don't mind mysterious and unexpected things happening with each update.
Tiny Core 2.0 is released
Tiny Core is a tiny Linux distro weighing in at about 11MB. There's an even smaller Micro Core version. You can find them here. These require some technical know-how and are not for the inexperienced.
Weather
I live in Levanger, Norway and I just found a nice page showing the weather forecast for Levanger and many other places.
Quotes
Inside me lives a skinny person screaming to get out;
But I can usually shut the S.O.B. up with ice cream.

Opera
A few days ago Opera 10.00 Beta Build 4402 for Linux became available from here. Puppy packages for this browser soon appeared on the main Puppy Linux forum from two different contributors: synth and glassparrot.
Puppy Forums
There are four good Puppy Forums that I'm aware of:
*Main Forum
*Todd Richardson's Alternative Forum
