I must admit to having a little giggle about the library situation having had the same thing in my local library.

On topic.. I always run DSL live in the shop I work in.. I hate windows, and find life much more pleasant with something familiar for looking up information. Some have commented and asked what it is, at which point I have given them one of the 4 or 5 disks I always carry for the purpose, with instructions how to boot... The disks have the dsl homesite url written on them.

Good Idea! I just went and grabbed a pack of 50mb business-card CDs with that in mind. Been meaning to do that. I should burn DSL 3.3 onto some of them, carry them around as you say, as well as bring a few to the next VLUG meeting.

Most are just amazed that there can be so much on a cd, with lots of room to save add-ons and files (I don't finalize the disks).

Yeah, I'm still impressed with that...

Anyway.. I'm supposed to be watching the cricket....

Enjoy,
