Hence the name "Bogus" B-)
Probably the only distro these days that is as suitable for the
anal-retentive obsessive compulsive set is ROCK Linux.
Speaking of which, i've just tried the SuSE 7.1 Lite Eval CD which lets
you run linux - you guessed it.. straight from the CD-ROM. It will look
for space on your hard disk to install some files (actually an image
that it will mount on a loopback device i think), but even if you don't
have a hard disk (like my laptop), it will still run.
Pretty good, although the window manager defaults to KDE (yuggh). I'm
trying to figure out a way to get my handrolled module for my funky
Billionton PCMCIA Network card (rtl8139), folded into it.
