Glad to be of help. I've had several "rescue PCs" in the past, and many of the distros in this article are the distros I turned to. (Although I used Slackware-based Puppy when I ran it, and I used a pre-cursor to Porteus called Slax - so this is just an updated version of real life experience.)
As I say in the article, I literally carry Porteus, on my keychain, with me everywhere I go. It hasn't failed me yet!
