I reawaken this thread to mention that I meant no disrespect by the "oddball" moniker. I mean, puppy is a very unusual linux setup.

In fact it is a favorite of mine, and I run it on a PC here at my home.

I am encouraged that you have WineASIO, Jack etc running. Are there modules already out there for them?

As to the continued "ROOT ROOT BAD!" stuff... I see the argument made it's way into the "you can damage hardware as root" iteration.

Really. It would take some blunder of epic proportions to physically damage a hard drive with puppy... especially since it doesn't need to ever use one. I think a used is more likely to damage his hard drive by dropping it. (Notice I didn't say "erase" or "repartiation" or any other blunder you could also do with most any other OS)

And monitors? If you have a monitor that will blow up because you tried a frequency range that you shouldnt' (this is also not a problem since the average user is not going to try to jack a lot with monitor timings) then you really NEED to blow up that monitor and buy one that won't accept frequencies out of range. Your monitor is OOOOOLD.
