Of all the distros I've seen it's the only one I'd recommend to someone who didn't know anything about computers. I think that because of its simplified configuration it would stand the best chance of working, and when it doesn't work it would be the easiest to troubleshoot. It is ideal for learning Linux and for experts too.
I love Puppy, myself, though I've still never managed to get my printer to work with it. And it's an HP printer, which is on the list of printers that Puppy has drivers for. If I could just train my Puppy to do that, I'd be a happy dog owner.

I love Puppy and Knoppix for different reasons. I use both equally, depending on what I want to do during that particular session. I love the Opera browser, so I DL'ed the version of Puppy that includes it...so all 488 my bookmarks (most of which are Linux-related, LOL) can be quickly imported with a few mouse clicks!
