Peanut is the only distribution that just went on my machine and everything seemed to work. It really was fairly easy to do (kudzu did the business). Even the wheel on my mouse works. It does seem a little unstable though - sometimes I startx and the desktops flicker about and the mouse flails around - though I may have an old copy. Still not sorted out activating the PPP from non-root either. But it surfs almost out of the box - after a little informed playing.

I agree about the partitioning thing though. I've done loads of disk partitioning with DOS / Win and I know the rules there. I've done a bit for linux (RH 5.2) and know what I want, but not how stuff works re Primary / Secondary - Bootable etc. So I had to make a load of guesses - and couldn't get it to boot. (I solved it by installing Win98 in 1st small partition, then peanut in another small one (to keep below cyl 1024), the LILO config found both and installed in the MBR [which it storngly advises against for some reason] does dual boot with no pain at all) Some AUTO-SETUP option would help - and the thing about mount points is a significant problem

Still going strong

Peanut is the distro that brought me into linux... and I've tried many other distros, all the big ones and several smaller ones...
never found one that runs multimedia, mysql, php, browser etc right out of the box like peanut does in such a small space...

(ok knoppix does rock)

Almost all RPMs made for peanut work right away and faultless for me apart from the Open Office RPM which is still not working properly...it needs quite some fiddling to get that going. So if you are after OO rather go for Vector SOHO or such.

Otherwise the distro was exactly what I wanted, small fast and multimedia capable

What happened to Peanut Linux??

Peanut - Small size, fast, good pre-installed applications

Peanut is a small, fast, Slackware-based distro that comes with a decent selection of application programs that are pre-installed and ready to go.

No need to spend hours doing exciting tasks like getting all of your plugins to work properly with your web browser.

Just install it and go. Be sure to read all of the installation instructions that come with Peanut, and rely on the help forum if you get into any trouble:
