Free-Duc is also good, especially for school students . The slackware-live is not up to the mark...it demonstrates little. Suse live requires better hardware...(kde3.2), but is probably the fastest of the five on [ix]86. On some older [ix]86 machines knoppix-3.6 does take too much time. It is a bit dangerous ...because novices can try installing it.Since u are going to give it to newbies, it is better to give Knoppix. It has got the best hardware detection and also is quite usable even in old machines.

Folks,
I am planning to introduce to Linux a bunch of people yet innocent of it. One of the things I am thinking of doing is to give them a live-cd distribution of Linux to play with. I have the following live-cds from LFY:
1. Slackware Live 9.1 2. FreeDuc-CD 1.4 3. Knoppix 3.6 (also 3.3) 4. Suse Linux 9.1 Live 5. MEPIS Linux
of which I intend to give copies of any one CD only. The question is, which one?
I shall be obliged to have your advice/suggestions/views abouththe good/bad points of these distributions. I have myself not used any of these products, so your feedback will be valuable in making a choice.
