[...] Slitaz. Even my lightest, fastest efforts with outdated software in custom-built configurations can’t stand up to what Slitaz gives you for nothing. It’s fantastic [...]

Puppy is NOT ugly!

it’s a very nice distro IMO!

DSL is questionable though…

Of course, one mans garbage is another mans gold, and you may be of the opinion the minimalist look of Crunchbang Linux is ugly, whereas I love it!!

You forgot to mention one thing! The ISO is under 25mb! I tried the release version of Slitaz a few months ago, and was rather impressed. I tried to get a version of Kazehakase working on it, but to no avail as it had old versions of GTK and I couldn’t be bothered to go on a compiling spree at the time. If you get it working, let us know!

My bios is too old to boot usb keys. Yeah I remember slax had this feature.

I have not heard of that, but I know you can do that with a USB key — so you plug in the key and the CD, boot and you can recover your settings that way.

I think Slitaz will do something like that, and I’m pretty sure Slax will too. I think Slax did have an arrangement like that a long time ago, but I think it was dropped. I’ll have to check again.

Do you think it’s possible to create a LiveCD which stores and retrieves all settings from the internet?

You boot in make whatever changes, instead of writing changes to usb or anywhere it compresses them and sends them to a server. Next time you boot you provide the server address to retrieve all settings in say the home directory?

Oh, okay. I see. I thought perhaps … never mind.

Yes, the man pages certainly are available all around the Internet, but if you are using e.g. an old laptop without network connection, you just want to have the man pages in your hard drive.

Last year I had to use a laptop in an office with no Internet connection for six months, no LAN, no WLAN. Just an old laptop… and I live in Helsinki, Finland

Wow it’s the fastest livecd I used, faster then my arch install slightly. Flash is sluggish in full screen even with ati driver.

Still not faster then Windows XP. XP is much much faster then any linux I have ever used on this machine. P4 1.6Ghz 768 DDR RAM.
