Fedora or Debian?

[David Renström]

Hi David (nice first name by the way)!

Well, LFS was perhaps not exactly what I was looking for yet. What I meant 
by "clean" was that I don't want any software speech or Emacs/peak/ 
desktops installed from the beginning. Just the plain old bash and nothing 
else so that I can customize as I want from there.

Thank you for offering to hack an ISO. I'm a little bit interested in 
Slackware, but I will stick with RedHat 7.3 for now (installed it 
yesterday, because I know that installation works). I guess that the newest 
Slackware has USB support, right? I might need that for my Braille Voyager 
on the destkop computer later on.

Kindest Regards,
/DAvid R.
