Your mentioning of the compactness of this distro reminded me of this.

Puppy is growing to be a dog, size-wise and requirements-wise. It even
includes Opera 9, which unlike SeaMonkey, supports the most modern
standards, but raises the minimal resource bar. I guess there is a novelty
tradeoff which, in due time, will make old hardware obsolete.
Best wishes,
