It sends me into the text interface where I either have the option to restart the graphical interface by typing xwin or doing xorgwizard. I know it is...

Havent tried anything besides wary, racy, slacko and lupu they all run great on my machines but are far more advanced than yours. Maybe you should give tiny core linux a try, chances are it will work good on your machine although I found it more complex than puppy.

mainly my connections. Am paranoid about people snooping on what websites I visit or what I do online. I know I can use tor but I dont because it's limited. Just double checking with people that might have suggestions.

Okay I got it. I very much appreciate all your help.

Another quick question before I start making new threads. Does Puppy Slacko 5.3.3 connect to any websites on start up? I saw a connection that was linked to a website called icanhazip.com port #80.

I am just very paranoid when it comes to computers is it by any chance dangerous to let it be as it is?...

Puppy is my favorite Linux distro! It is very small yet as powerful as other huge sized distributions. Thank you all of the developers for your hard work and amazing operating system.
