WOW! I never know that before! Please accept 10,000 points for the Post of the Year.
As soon as I can get all the pieces together, I'll be making one of those slipstream CDs. You just saved me a big 'ol pile of money.
BTW, Staples was having a special on a 300GB Maxtor 7200 rpm ATA drive with 16MB cache. $99 in store, no mail in rebate needed. There might be better deals out there, but I was in Staples for something else, so I grabbed it.
Thanks again.
That is a damn good buy...
Some were suggesting Knoppix...which is useful ...there is another choice ...SLAX....new one just out ( see DistroWatch ) and the CD is a much smaller download - less than 200Mb ..the small version of Knoppix is 695Mb...there is also a DVD version...at 4.1 Gigabyte,....don't know what all it has on it.
