It picked Fedora for me, even though I'm a Debian user.
What's really funny though? It recommended against Debian because my computer is old. Do the people running that site know anything about Debian?

Of course they should. Which is why most people use Microsoft or Apple, especially on laptops. If "just works" was the criteria, then Windows never would have gotten off the ground.

The site picked Gentoo and Slackware for me.I got the same results and my favorite distros are, in order, Gentoo and Slackware, so it picked me correctly.

Results of a comparison made this morning on an old AMD K-7 CPU machine running both Win 98 & Ubuntu Linux.
Tells me everything I need to know.

Well I dont know that comparing windows 98 to a modern linux is quite fair. Anyone out there want to run XPsp2 against Ubuntu?

Anyone out there want to run XPsp2 against Ubuntu? I would have -- if I could RUN XPsp2 on a lowly K-7.

I got Kubuntu, Linspire, and Ubuntu as my recommendations. I've used all three, and all three are really good...but I'm more of a Xandros person.

I have Elive and slax on discs and it works when I boot from them. And I also found Damn Small Linux which I can't seem to get it to work.
Can you give me any advice on how to take these different OS and put them to a bootable drive?
