Hello Paul! Thanks a lot 4 your response. I will track down a version of 'zipslack' and see if i can get a copy on a CD. Streuth! - I NEED a bigger disk!!! Tehe! Thanks 4 the info on linuxemporium - i've got it book marked now and have had a good look through the site. What do you know (or anyone else that is) about booting linux from just a CD. Obviously it would run a lot slower. But it might mean that I could try linux really easily and not get into issues about disk space? - does it work this way? I don't know? >>What hardware do you have, e.g processor, memory, this can make a difference when deciding what distro to use.

Linux emporium do stampede / mini Linux for £2.50, not got much information on this though - (perhaps other members could help with this) www.linuxemporium.co.uk I can't find zipslack in theirprice list. I think 170mb may be a bit small for Linux, esp if you want somthing like kde (which is quite big). What hardware do you have, e.g processor, memory, this can make a difference when deciding what distro to use. I have a few distros lying around and I think simon has a few Mandrake cd's left over from Linuxday in April.
