	I've also heard that as Alex says, Knoppix comes recommended. Another
Debian based distribution that I find is fairly easy to install/setup,
is Libranet. You can download a one cd iso image and write it to a blank
cd. Version 2.0 is a free download from libranet.com. Make sure you
select a X-window system and then in a console as root, run the command
apt-get install synaptic. This program is then invoked as root in a
terminal window by typing synaptic. Click on the update button first and
this program will list all the programs you can download, or remove,
with a description of each one and what it depends on to work.If you get
stuck with anything, you'll find people on this list will gladly advise
you.
