With Slack you have the choice of many different desktop options (desktop meaning windowing systems). I ran Slack for several years, but have moved on to Ubuntu this year, which I love. But for old hardware I would go back to Slack. Lots of opinions out there. Each distro of Linux will have a different feel, but they are all essentially the same under the hood. Now you need to throw 2 network cards in that and make it your router. I would have thrown Slackware on it, but that is just because I have experience with it.

I have an old Gentoo Linux machine that pretty much has the same purpose as the machine you have. It is a file server and an apache/mysql server so I can test changes on my blog before going live with them.... Anyway, if you're experience with puppy is positive, I may just switch distributions for my server as well... C) You are missing the last "g" for "jpg" in the link to your pic Couple quick things…..
