This is a very clever lightweight respin of Slackware and Linux-Live
that is at the perfect balance point between a full heavyweight distro
like Ubuntu and something super-stripped-down like DSL. It ships with
both OOo and Firefox. Everything about it just works, including its
very slick HD install option. The wireless support is pretty good, too.
I am setting up a lab at the nonprofit I am working with using PII and
low-end Celeron-class boxes, and they love it. Give it a go. You wont be
sorry. :-)
