My Internet Notebook

I downloaded and burned Ubuntu 5.4 and Knoppix 3.8.1 to a CD-R to just play with them. I used an old Dell Dimension (P3, 256MB RAM) for the test.

All in all, these two “Linux on a CD” distro appeared pretty solid. They were both able to start a Linux session on my old Dell without problems. Although I think at this moment I will probably still go with Knoppix. The reasons: 1. Ubuntu was not able to mount my hard drive (NTFS) automatically; 2. it seems need to constantly access the CD-ROM, which makes it a little slower.
