!!!New!!! - You'll be able to edit just about every file and install/remove software while running from CD thanks to unionfs. Changes would not be...

I'd pity whoever'd run such a service. Remastering Knoppix for instance-
Would eat up a lot of bandwidth updating the package database and installing things thru apt, use up a ton of ram (about...

I've remastered knoppix dozens of times. It's not too hard. The basic steps are-
1) uncompress system
2) futz around and change things
3) recompress system

I have to agree that live CD's are amazingly useful. I liked Knoppix so much that I modified my own version of it (Overclockix).
-
Got to fold for somebody by default, might as well be the guy who spent dozens of hours working on Overclockix. if you read the OCix site, you'll see I've not hidden the fact that the distro runs...

I'd choose Yoper. It's i686 optimized, uses rpm's, but has apt-get just like debian/knoppix.
Installing the latest kernel (2.6.8 currently with con kolivas patches) is as easy as
apt-get...
-
Yeah, what hardware are you concerned about? Yoper's a nice starter distro with the latest kernel's. It's also fast and low on bloat.
-
2.6.8 offers some improvement in support of some sata controllers
Yoper 2.1's got 2.6.8 by default.
-
Anyone who is in the habit of switching distros constanlty or maybe just wants to try something new for awhile....
Yoper 2.1 is now out. We are anxious to hear what you think!
...

Yoper with icewm. Optimized for P2's and up! Suped-up rpm's, but handled by apt-get! Latest kernel! Fast as you can get!
-
It should only ask if you want to install lilo to the mbr and if you want to create a boot floppy (choose yes to the first and no to the second). Also note that you've got to create an initrd image...
-
Suse is based in Germany, and because of software licensing regulations there, will not include a dvd decoder. Fedora does the same sort of thing and cautiously opts not to include mp3 support in...

Never seen that happen. Have heard about some issues with certain distros when the cd-rom dirve is not on 1st IDE channel of the motherboard... or do you maybe have some kind of scsi cd-rom?

stripped, i686 optimized binaries available through an apt repository
dma on/resierfs recommended by default

You can also set your screen resolution by adding
knoppix26 desktop=fluxbox screen=1280x1024
or any other standard resolution you prefer.
These are called cheatcodes or boot parameters. You...

I love live CD's.
But even better is a slick distro like Yoper.
-
In knoppix, enter this at the initial prompt when booting from CD-
knoppix26 desktop=fluxbox
-
Yoper.
faster
better
stronger
The developers are catering to Linux noobs. Highly optimized. Has apt-get/synaptic. Installs quick and easy.

Yoper's pretty good for a noob, and just incredibly snappy. Those Knoppix-based live CD's like Overclockix, Mepis, and Kanotix are great linux demos and you can even install them.
-
Definitely Yoper.
I used to like Gentoo, but its too much work. I think Debian comes as a close second, since I've been into Knoppix and making my own spin-off distro, Overclockix for awhile now...
-
Heh, yeah. It's all my fault. I'm a folding fanatic!
Folding@home should not affect your system adversely. The temps you quoted seem reasonable, and thanks to running full load you will not...
-
I didn't write the installer script, just so you know.
For swap I'd go with at least a 128mb partition, more if you have less than 256mb ram or think you will need it.
For root, you'll need at...
-
An update to the LTSP release will probably happend in just a couple of days, because I threw that one together so fast and forgot some things. But that's sort of a special purpose version anyway-...
