[chirp_users] Updating Chirp for the UV-82HP (TahrPuppyUSB)

[Bruce LeGrande]

python-serial v2.3-1 installed
python-libxml2 v2.7.8.dfsg-2+squeeze8 installed

I'm considering looking for a version of Ubuntu, or other distro that will fit on a 64Gb USB stick, and run from RAM on the AspireONE.
Any input on which OS, if other than Ubuntu, works best with Chirp ?
Have the latest ver of TahrPuppy (PuppyLinux) on a stick now, and it boots nicely, but have no idea if it will run Chirp(w).
