openSUSE 11 The minimal installation option is a few hundred MB I understand. Command line package management now easily rivals Debian's. However you'll have to do without KDE with whatever distro you choose as (installed system + swap + space for data) is not going to fit into 2GB, unless you are very prudent with only installing minimal KDE. Hard disks are cheap, try trademe or Molten Media. Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
