I like the real ma$ochist option.

I run Fedora Core on my main desktop, unless I wanna play a decent-framerated UT or Q3A, then I switch to Winblowz XP Profuxional.  But on my little laptop, which I take to school and stuff, I also have Fedora, but I'm making a custom DSL 0.6.0 with a compiler so I can do everything I need from that one little laptop.

I run DSL 0.6.1 and Luit Linux 0.2 on this box representing the Damnmall and
offshoots OS's. Main distro's are Windows 98, and Redhat 9, all this on three hard drives, one cdrom drive, with two pentium pro processors. Yes, I get two penguins when Damn Small boots up!  Oh, Redhat 9 won't install unless it's a 686 box!
On another box, I have Red Hat 6.1 and 7.1, SuSE 6.3, Mandrake 8, Debian 2.2.
All of those run my own .fvwm2rc's in FVWM. Also, Damnsmall 0.5.3.1 there, as
a /knoppix in /dev/hda1 install, with boot floppy.
Next to that, Mac OS 7.5.3. Big thing there is the talking web pages, lots of laughs.
Next box down, has DSL 0.5.3.1, Windows 98, Debian 2.2 and Mandrake 8.
Lots of custom configs there too, with FVWM. Have Arachne 1.70 running off of Windows 98's DOS, too. Great little distro (that's not a distro).
Laptops? yes, with Windows 98, and Luit Linux 0.2.
XP box, that too, and can run Damnsmall 0.6.1 and Luit Linux, with a usb drive
for restoration. It's a P4 2.8 HT, with a gig of ram, and a 17 inch Dell Ultra Sharp with a 128 MB ATI card. Damnsmall and Luit look great on that! With Windows viruses abounding, it's best to surf with Damnsmall or Luit. Daughter prefers Luit, for it's xfce4 window manager, closer to XP in appearance the way I have it set up.
Broadband? No. Took a week to download a custom Slack 8 distro and put it together. (gone now).
I never met a distro that I didn't like. (takeoff on Will Rogers)
Even ran Arachne 1.70 on Caldera OpenDOS.

Whatabout Libranet instead of Knoppix as workstations (easy Debian HD install). What do you think...

Debian in the form of Knoppix. Have not tested DSL though but I think I will love it :blues:
