I think Puppy Linux is what I need, because I have old, slow hardware, and can't afford to buy a new computer right now. I currently have a Dell laptop with a Windows Vista Business OS. If I somehow installed Puppy Linux, would I be able to use Skype? That is the main reason why I'm considering using a different OS, because I'm having trouble with Skype. I can't hear anybody when using Skype, even though when I go to my control panel, click on system and maintenance, click on device manager, click on sound video and game controllers, and click on anvsoft virtual sound device, it says, "This device is working properly." It says the same thing when I click on "high definition audio device:" "This device is working properly, " but it clearly is not working properly! Otherwise, I would be able to hear what the heck people are saying on Skype! Thus, I'm feeling like I have to resort to getting a different operating system that is affordable to me. Will I be able to keep all of my files intact, even when I install Puppy Linux?
