Yeah, I am on the Panasonic CF-29, and no I haven't installed Puppy yet. Though I did just have Precise 5.6.1 livebooted, and it ran fine. Save, of course, for the trackpad and the touchscreen. I have yet to figure out how to deal with either. (Though I seem to have accidentally spruced up the trackpad in XP. That's mildly embarrassing. To be honest, I'm not even sure what I did...)
The CF-29 is such a big, clumsy, lumbering beast, you just have to like it. And it is built like a tank, which would make it a great system for carrying it around in the boonies, where I like to lurk on my time off. But I would soooo prefer some version of Linux on it. Especially given Microsoft's idiotic (for their consumers) plan to kill off XP. (Yeah, I know... I'm not thinking corporately... But... Geez...)
In any event, it's getting kinda late, and the CF-29's battery is getting a little low. Probably switch over to the Toshiba for the rest of the evening. Maybe do some research...
The bumbling tech noob's work is never done...
