I haven't worked with any of these, so I can't offer any recommendations. However, a friend of mine told me about a distribution from France called DemoLinux... http://www.demolinux.org/ Since it was small, I mirrored it on the MUUG server quite some time ago... ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/demolinux/demolinux/ ... however, they discontinued their FTP service, so the mirror stopped working. You can still download from their web site (or get the older versions from our mirror). I have no idea how this one might compare to other bootable CD distros. -- Gilbert E.
