It's a very "unique" distribution that was created from (I think) Mandrake originally, but now bears no resemblance to any other distribution. It has a lot of custom programs and utilities, and runs entirely in RAM with the option to save the state of things to disk if desired. It's really interesting, but I think it's probably better to stick closer to the Ubuntu based distribution commonly used by folks on this list if you want to be able to ask for help. The EMC/Ubuntu CDs are live boot systems, you can run EMC without changing anything on your hard drive if you want to try out EMC with no "commitments". Thanks, Matt Hi Matt You're right I'll stick with what I have EMC/Ubuntu. Finished. Now I will see about setting up the EMC2. So please don't go too far away. Thanks for you're reply and help, I'll soon know what I'm talking about.
