Just stating the one prominent difference between ELX (or any linux distro
I've tried), where kde starts very slowly on my 300mz machine, and FreeBSD
where it starts in half the time.

I haven't tried music cds, so I don't know.

One other respondent on this thread (I lost the post) stated that ELX
overwrote his MBR.  I selected the don't do anything option (there were
three choices), and ELX definitely did not write to the MBR.

One may or may not like the Windows-like setup on ELX.  I've never had any
use for WEBMIN, so I wouldn't have noticed the difference.
