Four Linux Live CDs, The Executive Summary

prostoalex writes "ExtremeTech published a review of 4 Linux live distributions that do not require installation and run off a CD. Knoppix, Feather Linux, Gnoppix and MEPIS Linux were researched, with Knoppix winning the competition (and Gnoppix not graded, since it's still in beta)." One more (of the seemingly infinite number of live distros) I've recently tried and been happy with is called Slax, and is what it sounds like -- a live Slackware distribution. Slax worked great with my finicky older Toshiba laptop. (However, slax.org appears to be down.)

new to linux again [a slightly offtopic question]

[-Maurice66-]

Hi guys,

Nice... those live DEMO's but that's not what I need.

A question I have had for a while now is: what linux to install...

I am not new to linux, I just have not had a version installed since RH 5.2 I totaly lost contact with linux for a while.

I'd like to have a system for my standard office work and doing some small website developments...

What would be the, easy installable, distro for me?

Cheers,

M

Dammit, isn't there something in the US constitution about your citizenship being revoked if you accept any royal titles from a foreign power?

(Then again, it's not like our current government really concerns itself with that Constitution thing, except as a place to threaten to insert their agenda.)
