Puppy Linux 5.3 Slacko....Super But Not Duper..

Here is the latest version of puppy linux, which is now version number 5.3 and is now has a slackware base for all of it's stuff, now pup used this a long time ago and the dev's seem to like it, and it is fast to use, BUT it is missing a lot of programs that are available in puppy 525/528 blender and open shot just being one of many.
hopefully they will manage to get these ported through to the repo's but as i have used slackware on many occasions it does not play well with rmd or stuff like that.
i hope they can sort that in the next few months or a lot of peeps will just stick with the 5.2 series.....

Is this good for a netbook running a 1.60ghz intel atom processor, 160GB HDD and 1GB memory? I need a snappy OS for it, it comes with Windows 7 Starter and it's really slow at times....would this be good or would I be better off with xubuntu?

I have a question I don't find any answer on internet. Are LXDE/OpenBox based distros able to handle multiple processors? I have Dual core 2,1GHz but LXDE task manager only shows CPU usage for one... I heard once that it depends on the Kernel I use (for i386, i486, ...).

@MogrooT2 if you mean "all wireless devices aren't supported yet" then I feel your pain :P

None work on my HP laptop
