I was going to reply to this with something witty since I work for Best Buy as an In-Store Technician, and use Linux LiveCDs on a daily basis... I have never had customers complain about the speed of it, but more about cool it is to run directly from CD and rescue their files.
sorry about the crap before, this is what it was supposed to look like:
I checked out the F.I.R.E link, and it looks nice; however, it will not fit on the mini cd-r's I have, which hold up to 210M, so I got curious and mounted it via/dev/loop, checked out the contents, and thought about deleting some stuff I would never need....then I noticed alot of the linux2.2_x86 binaries are not stripped!
# mount -t iso9660 fire-0.3.5b.iso fire/ -o loop
# du -sh fire/
217M fire (too big)
# cp -a fire/ test/
# strip test/fire/statbins/linux2.2_x86/*
# du -sh test/fire
204M test/fire (now it fits!!)

Anyone who watched the first episode of Father of the Pride already knew that Siegfried and Roy were adding a new ring.
He left out two important words at the end of this sentence.
"I have now used LindowsOS for a little over one week and found it to be the best Linux Distro so far for me"

I am currently only getting about 3k/s off of the closest geographical mirror to me. Will someone please make a torrent of this once you get it?
