Has anyone looked at Mepis (www.mepis.org) yet? It is the distro that I was 
trying to download over the last several days and finally got copies that match 
the md5sum's. Mepis is three distros in one. It's a rescue CD that also 
contains Qtparted which is a NICE partition management, creation, resizing 
package that will also resize NTFS partitions. It's a live CD in the vein of 
Knoppix/Morphix and it's a set of installation ISO's for loading directly to 
the hard drive. I installed it on my main machine at home during lunch which 
took about 20 minutes. It is Debian based (yeaaaahhhh), had all the latest and 
greatest libs for KDE3.X and is running the 2.4.22 kernel I believe. The second 
CD is a HUGH collection of .deb's that one can install via apt-get, Synaptic, 
Kpackage, etc once the distro is installed to the HD. John, while I am typing 
this I am burning a set of CD's for the LUG library and will deliver them to 
you at the meeting Monday evening. 

Just thought I would share,
