Linux or BSD on tiny HD?

[Ivan Avery Frey]

You may want to use sarge (Debian Unstable), there is a torrent for all 
the CD images. I guess I would burn the first CD and install the rest 
off of the net. York University has a Debian Mirror.

Sarge uses linux 2.6 and 2.6 has better support for ISA pnp. My ISA 
Creative soundcard just gets configured automatically now.

Sarge also has tools for partitioning ntfs partitions. As for live cds I 
don't think you will find one that doesn't use either KDE or GNOME.

A less resource intensive desktop environment is Xfce (www.Xfce.org). 
Oh! A Xfce 4.2 based Linux-Live CD! I was WRONG!.
