Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
~Benjamin Franklin~
And if it would keep our country from becoming an evil police state, I could deal with a few terrorists. If the terrorists manage to force us to give up our freedom, they've won a true victory. It means that their terror worked. Don't give in to terror! Preserve our country's ideals! Unfortunately, we're probably going to get both an police state and terrorist attacks, because homeland security is a joke.
You can't possibly screw up a CD, short of scratching it to hell. Knoppix kicks ass, Morphix is coming along well... I use Knoppix to convert my friends, I let them try Knoppix and if they like it I talk them into letting me install a dual boot:-) Even the dumbest windows dummy can get Knoppix working. All you need is simple ways to save to the hard drive, I haven't really played around with that so it might already be easy. The main problem I suppose is that old machines already run slow, running them off a CD would be even slower... so I guess you just stick the image on the hard drive.
