My best linux experiences come in very simple, easy to understand packages. My favorite flavor of linux seems to be, after experimenting, lnx-bbc ( http://www.lnx-bbc.org ). I am a beginner and need a linux version that is "LIVE" and on a cd-which saves me the trouble of chopping up my hd into nths and the linux file system. My friends have suggested knoppix, which will keep my 56k up for 'bout a night.....
